Bit the inside of my lip the other day, like, really badly
Not bleeding but did break (skin???). And now it's swollen cause it's irritated. Which means I keep accidentally biting it cause it's bigger now
This is gonna suck until it heals

@david_chisnall @numodular @georgetakei
focus on the local politics, focus on the psychology
i hear you
so 3 candidates
1. a MAGA chud
2. a spineless centrist democrat
3. a serious left candidate
the left vote, whether 20 people or 20 million, is divided. the MAGA chud wins
howabout:
do what you say, with local psychology...
and the serious left candidate beats the spineless centrist in the primary
takes over the democrats
and beats MAGA
no?
this is AOC, Bernie, Mamdani, etc

Once again, you're talking about an election. To go back to my very first post in this thread: the important thing is what happens across N rounds of elections.
You can't model any of this usefully when you think about an election, you have to think about the behaviour across multiple elections. Someone else did this elsewhere in the thread.
@CryptPad l had registered for the webinar two days ago, but was unable to attend. May l have a recording of the discussion that took place ??
@codewizard Hello, sorry for the late reply and thanks for your interest in CryptPad. You should have received the recording by now.
🚨 The UK says it wants to "protect children online"
Yet, forcing EVERYONE to verify their age won't stop harm - but put all of us under surveillance.
Today, we've signed an open letter together with @mullvad @Tor @mozilla & others to stop #AgeVerification in the UK 💪
Read the complete letter: https://www.openrightsgroup.org/app/uploads/2026/05/UK-joint-statement-against-age-gates.pdf
@RonJeffries I think if I renamed ‘utils.py’ to ‘jumbled_farrago_of_miscellany.py’, I’d find other places to put homeless code.
@RonJeffries@mastodon.social @jwhitlock@mastodon.social Careful though, it probably goes both ways. I could see smorgasbord.py getting quite large quite quickly.
@AlinaLeonova Ah, I wonder how much of my advice will be applicable to writing, but let me try!
Well, one thing that might be relevant, I've been really into indoor cycling over the past year or two, and I use that time to take notes for the next project or a blog post.
Outside of that, and this may be more useful for projects that involve writing code, but I try to reuse my own work, and existing code others have shared.
For example, I run almost 70 creative bots.

Sounds like a lot! But some of them are variations on the same idea.
And for many, the actual code is just a few lines, because I'm reusing a lot of the existing work I've done over the last decade.
@AlinaLeonova So, maybe if I had to generalize a bit, the advice could be: start small, do a little bit whenever you can, and let the good stuff pile up over time?
Ha chiuso Byoblu.
Solo il canale tv eh. Ma ci accontentiamo.
Netherlands is quietly moving away from GitHub. 🇳🇱👩💻
Welp, it's taken me a few days to get round to it, but I have just now deleted Chrome (and it's associated LLM malware downloads) from ALL my Macs. Fucker was taking up 6.5Gb of space on my Macbook Neo. Utterly unacceptable bullshit on a machine that starts with 256Gb of storage, even if I *wanted* the AI features (I don't).
Took a while because I had to transfer all my extensions and continuously open tabs across into Safari (I mainly use Firefox, but some sites render badly in FF.)
Almost 3 G's for an app I think I used once to access my energy company's website. What a waste.

I was going to make a sarky comment about ancient history - but if it's news to you then it's news
@OneInterestingFact @littlealex December 2025, those ancient times long past
Meta: If we are forced to pay billions to make our products safer for kids in New Mexico “…we may have no choice but to remove access to its platforms for users in New Mexico entirely.”
New Mexico: Don't threaten us with a good time.

@dsilverman haha no shit right? That’s a dangerous game for meta to play when if they pull that trigger NM will simply publish all the health improvements their citizens will experience.
panic
@stefan Thank you so much 🧡
But your descriptions says "side project enthusiast" and you have a website dedicated to that, so I assume it's something you're passionate about, and it must take time/energy/resources. If you're willing to tell me how you find that time and energy, that would be valuable, even if I couldn't apply it to myself.

Waiting for the space sim to get a Renaissance like the boomer shooter.
