Holy shit. They tried to get Canada to give up the ability to freely negotiate trade with other countries *and* expected it to stop caring about French language information on products. That's basically being a vassal state.
Good on Carney for walking away.
@wim_v12e Hi Wim! The only connection is "rokkon shōjō", a purification chant that plays an important role in the manga. "Sange, sange, rokkon shōjō"... the story captured me, and made me read the unfinished manga several times. I even wrote a song with those lyrics and other expressions used in the manga. Then, a few days ago, I read the final chapter of the manga...
In the meanwhile, I was reading the Cambridge's History of Japan. There I found a citation to Blacker's book. The book was on the Internet Archive, so I downloaded it. And that reference to Aoi no Ue actually opens the book!
Magic does exist...
@Eidon Ah, I see. I found the Japanese text of the play, in old Japanese with a modern annotation. I will go and read it and post my findings ^_^
@jaredwhite I ended up doing that wjth my site.
A toggle seems like a lot of complexity when it’s probably better to just assume people who use dark mode would like to look at web pages in dark mode. 😂
@ghalldev that's an incorrect assumption @jaredwhite
TFW when you wake up and have to remind yourself that no, you do NOT have to add a couple items to your chore list, because you did NOT find a kitten when you were escaping with the resistance fighters, and you do NOT have a kind of little flying bugs you need to look up, that were fitting perfectly in the connections of you new electronic device...
@NilaJones This sounds like an awesome dream actually
Gentle reminder, when someone is sharing some small piece of resistance they have done, DO NOT SHIT ON IT. Do not tell them it isn't enough or it's still bad because blah blah other stuff...
Everyone is tired and overwhelmed and trying to find some accessible way they can push back. Cheer that!
Celebrate the small; celebrate the imperfect.
No single action is gonna solve everything, but a whole bunch of small actions start the sea change.
Don't punch down when we all need lifting up.
Next time a website will ask me to fill a mandatory "State" field for shipping to the UK, I'll put "Disrepair" in there. Other options I thought of were "climate catastrophe" and "decay"
tbh we don't talk enough about what's going on in sudan even on fedi.
just want yall to give this a read. or talk about it. if we can talk of palestine and ukraine we can talk about this too

i'd add does your employer, do your consulting customers, does your investment company.
micro$quish owns way too much of the market to dismiss any security issue.
EU and CN making moves towards linux is interesting but we're years away from microsoft bugs not mattering.
Good morning Fedi friends!
I've taken up running while I was in Brittany - lovely to do so on the island.
Now I'm in Italy at my parents' in a hilly village that looks like a rollercoaster ride. Not that motivated today, but gotta try. Thankfully in September I'll be back in a very flat area of Paris 😅
Wishing you all a great Sunday!
@alfredbaudisch can you give a hint how you did it? "Just" a certain compression algorithm or a specific data structure?
@fabian I intendo to create a writeup, as solving both the rendering and the save was quite an interesting problem, never seen before in Godot land.
🆕 blog! “Death to px, long live ch!”
Pixels are a lie. Even if you think you're drawing something with "pixel perfect" accuracy, your monitor is lying to you. There is no grid of platonically perfect squares.
In CSS, pixels are a double lie:
Note that 1px doesn't necessarily equal one physical device pixel. On HD displays, it may span multiple physical pixels. Similarly, 1cm in CSS often …

🔴SOLIDARIDAD CON EL COMPAÑERO JUAN ALISTE VEGA
El compañero prisionero subversivo Juan Aliste Vega, se mantiene actualmente hospitalizado, en un delicado estado de salud.
Como La Zarzamora apelamos a la solidaridad activa, a reivindicar al compañero y su camino de subversión permanente. Por esto hoy hacemos presentes sus palabras, con un extracto de memoria realizado por Biblioteca Tordo.
“Lo que pasa es que cuando estamos sumidos en un entorno que es constantemente violento y que todo su accionar radica y se sustenta sobre la violencia, es un poco efímero creer, que si tenemos alguna proyección, ya sea de poder revertir algo, esta pueda ser bajo algún canon de pacifismo, por llevarte al otro extremo. Pero aquí no hay una apología a la violencia, aquí por lo que podemos señalar nosotros tiene que ver con un sentido, ya sea de resistencia, de combate, de vida, de instalación de principios, de valores, eso es lo sustantivo con respecto a las formas de ver y de entender el como nos relacionamos y funcionamos entre pares. Yo me considero un subversivo hoy en día, considerando que también, en distintas etapas de nuestra vida, de los epítetos con los cuales hemos sido calificados por el estado, el de terrorismo viene a ser uno más, por lo tanto ellos nos han calificado de esa manera. Para nosotros es fundamental dejar lo mas nítido posible nuestra condición de anticapitalistas y de subversivos frente a esta realidad presente”.
El compañero Juan Aliste Vega, fue detenido en Argentina en julio del 2010, expulsado a Chile y condenado a 42 años de prisión por el atraco al banco Security. Desde entonces ha permanecido prisionero en regímenes de alta seguridad de distintas cárceles, encontrándose en La Gonzalina de Rancagua cuando comenzó su agravamiento.
Las expresiones y gestos que surgen tras la noticia, dejan latente el cariño y la importancia que tiene Juan en nuestra historia reciente, parte de una generación que presenció y combatió contra la dictadura y que vió su continuidad y consolidación, en el actual fundo llamado Chile. No se conformó, ni se engañó, siguió en combate.
“Porque no se trata de nosotros, más bien se trata de ellos, del poder y los poderosos, y de cómo habemos algunos y algunas que no encarnamos la derrota y hemos perseverado en acciones, porque no caemos en la dicotomía de que lo militar y lo civil —o la dictadura y la democracia— son cosas distintas”, escribió Juan en el texto llamado “A quince años de mi detención”.
“Doy cuenta del latido de mis convicciones, de este pequeño andar consecuente como subversivo, siempre desde lo antagónico y en constante confrontación con un enemigo que trasciende coyunturas” reafirma más abajo.
Juan compañero te enviamos fuerza y la ternura que tanto aprecias.
Juan Aliste a lakalle, con su gente, con nosotres.
Recibe el amor, la fuerza y el compañerismo que ha brotado de tu caminar inclaudicable.
Solidaridad activa con Juan Aliste.
A sacar a Juan Aliste a la kalle!
@neil This was a near perfect demonstration of yak shaving in action. I discovered the thing, then decided I needed to note it for posterity.
Normal people wouldn't have spun up a new server, set up the personal website on it, given that server Let's Encrypt certificates (something else I likely now need to write down as a reminder on how to do!) and learned a new site generator just to write themselves a reminder on how to setup the terminfo on a remote machine.
Normal's boring though 😆
@kxtcd950 Oh, absolutely. Learning is learning!
@stefan Another possible angle from which to address the problem: there's a mismatch and not much overlap between the skills needed to run a server vs the skills needed to be a good, anti-racist moderator of said server. Maybe a pool of mods or consultants able to help admins? An admin collective offering services to would-be admins or mods? Recurring anti-racism trainings? Such things are happening all the time, among people who've never heard of mastodon. Online and off.
@SallyStrange I really like the idea of crowdfunding anti-racism workshops!
These can be provided for free to moderators and admins, and experts in the field will get compensated for their time.
Going to brainstorm about this a bit more.
@Em0nM4stodon I turn my computers on when I need to use them, then off when I am done.
@c_merriweather This is the way 👍
@david_chisnall Given how altricial cats are, for an adult cat to be dumber than a kitten is actually a bit of an achievement! :-D
The kittens seem pretty smart. They’ve managed to train me to come when they want attention, at least!
@dougmerritt Did it feel like history in the making at the time?
@fsinn thank you. I’m sure y’all do.
Now which one of you is gonna let my family move into your basement. 😂
@markwyner Okay, fine, me. But don’t tell anyone else, my basement’s not that big.
