Guten Morgen, liebe #bibliocon26! Ich hatte gestern einen sehr schönen Abend und bereite mich jetzt innerlich darauf vor, dass die Konferenz schon fast zu Ende ist. Es ist aber noch zu früh für ein Fazit -- heute Mittag (11.30) tragen im #Freiraum noch meine Studierenden vor, und so voll wie die Sitzung zum Alten Buch gestern war, sollten sich doch ein paar Interessierte finden. Es geht um die buchhistorischen Datenbanken von CERL und Linked Open Data.
Monks worked out around the year 540 that the trick to a productive life was to make almost every hour boringly identical. We rediscover this every few years, call it a “system,” and sell a course.
Leopards Eating Peoples' Faces soldier "I never expected the leopard to eat MY face"
American officer (stationed in middle east) interviewed on CBS: "We had neither shelters nor first aid - we were just abandoned! ... I expected to see a string of ambulances heading towards us or something like that, but there was nothing. We felt that we had been abandoned. They showed blatant indifference towards us - it's sad and disheartening."

@bitwarden When this will be possible on ios?
From Shell and Palantir to JBS, Amazon’s cloud helps power oil pollution, surveillance tech and Amazon rainforest destruction.
The Amazon cloud is making our future worse, not better.
It’s time to regulate Big Tech.
Find myself reluctant to post _anything_ about the doings of the U.S. Congress given what a mockery it has become under Republican Fascist control. But here is a good explainer about R-F leaders pulling war powers resolution from a vote. Just don’t get the idea that Brian Fitzpatrick, the R-F quoted, is anything other than a fascist. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/21/republicans-cancel-vote-war-powers-iran
What's R-F?

I know why they're doing this, I agree with their objectives (curing invariably fatal neurodegenerative diseases), but even so I am adamantly of the opinion that for-profit research using this methodology should be illegal. Moral intuition calls them corpse molestors even though it's for a good and socially useful goal.
@cstross Yeah, speaking as someone with PD who has no recollections of being under while on propofol...I'll think about it. Seriously. PD leaches all the joy out of life and then keeps going, locking you in until you die of pneumonia. If this procedure helps them jump the research hurdle from mouse to human and get correct dosages of drugs that could actually give us more normal lives, why not? I'd rather donate to this than to military research, tbh.

I cannot state strongly enough that the #AgenticWeb is not a thing. It's just not.
I will never use the term, nor do I plan to acknowledge its validity in any way. Nothing I ever build, or personally use, will in any way intersect with whatever people may imagine this thing to be.
You'd better believe this is a hill I am absolutely prepared to die on.
We need to stop bugging him about falling asleep in meetings. The world would be a lot better place if he slept all the way through more meetings.
We should be saying what a cool handsome dude he is for falling asleep in such an awesome way, and then forgetting to order air strikes or starvation in other countries. Very cool! 😎👍🏼 Best nap ever! Take another one.

Kampf um US-Wahlrecht: Angriff auf das Erbe von Martin Luther King
Beim Neuzuschnitt von Wahlkreisen im Süden der USA geht es um mehr als um die Macht im US-Kongress. Er weckt Erinnerungen an die Zeit der Rassendiskriminierung und reißt tiefe Wunden auf. Von A. Henze.
The end goal of the oligarchs is genocide of the working poor.
