tra una settimana 30 gradi e non sarà ancora finito maggio
va tutto bene, è sempre stato così, non c’è alcuna crisi climatica, è colpa della pianura padana, avanti coi maiali e le vacche, forza che si sgasa tutti, pedalare, tutti al tornio

With the IRL cyberpunk dystopia we are hurtling towards I’m going to start introducing myself as a “netrunner” instead of my current title of “programmer”.

@Tutanota let's focus on Europe and recommend European solutiona like Matrix instead of Signal..
I've made this argument repeatedly, but I felt the need to try and make it definitively this time. Yes, universal basic income should be universal by even including billionaires like Elon. Here are all the reasons why universality is superior to means testing.

@scottsantens The only way to get rid of the stigmatizing effect is by means of universalization.
@raphaelmorgan @inherentlee ableism to my understanding has not been a core failing of free software since its inception and when it's tossed in after misogyny and transphobia and coming before racism i feel it tokenizes ableism in a way that demeans it
@hipsterelectron @inherentlee okay, I get that. It also doesn't seem fair to put it before racism, that definitely seems like that pattern of white writers where they only want to acknowledge racism if they can first put 3 bigotries that can hurt white people too... I still think ableism plagues the FOSS scene, but it's not more than or more important than racism

@maaikees I thought of you today, Maiike: we have a WWOOFer* staying with us just now who is a young (20?) lifter. She drove, so she brought her weights, and trains every day after work.
* = WWOOF is the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. Think of it as a kind of guest worker.
That's.... that's enough Reddit for today.
why did they call them "ai datacenters" when they could have called them "slopping malls"
Hi, 'Shop. I'm stepping slightly out of my local, community-care lane to share something I feel is very important to Canadians. We're facing another terribly damaging, wrongheaded attempt by our government to "regulate" digital communications by compromising everyone's security.

My next book, *The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI*, will be out in about a month - and (once again) Amazon's monopoly audiobook platform refuses to carry it, and so (once again) I'm pre-selling the audio, ebook and print edition in a Kickstarter campaign that proves that DRM-free isn't just the *right* way to reach an audience, it's also the *best* way to reach them:
