As we go into yet another day, I am bouyed by the thought that once humanity is finally destroyed by our own hand, the Earth will recover. Within 100 years most modern buildings, houses, and roads will collapse or be completely overgrown by plants and trees, and by 1,000 years steel and concrete structures will have crumbled into dust. Almost all physical evidence of human civilization on the surface will be erased within 10,000 years, leaving behind only buried plastics, altered rock layers, and bronze artifacts. The climate will return to pre-human levels within 100,000 Years - although air and water pollution will clear up rapidly, it'll take greenhouse gases several thousand years to drop to pre-industrial levels, as oceans and forests absorb the excess carbon, and by 80,000 years radioactive waste will finally decay to natural background levels. Rebuilding biodiversity will take a little longer, with Scientists estimating it will take 3 to 10 million years for global biodiversity and lost ecosystems to return to pre-human baselines. And when the Earth is once again clean and pure, I shall return to rule the new Eden. Have a great day, everyone! Not long left now! X

📱 F-Droid 2.0, Un nuevo capitulo para la libertad en Android

Después de mas de un año de trabajo duro, el equipo lanzo la versión 2.0, la mayor actualización en 10 años. Ahora es mas fácil encontrar aplicaciones con las nuevas categorías, y tener a la mano la lista de las aplicaciones ya instaladas.

Ahora las aplicaciones pueden buscar actualizaciones automáticamente en segundo plano, sigue teniendo posibilidad de utilizar la Red Tor para la conexión a los repositorios.

Sigue pensando en el mundo mayoritario con la posibilidad de restringir como se comporta F-Droid con datos móviles y con WiFi, con la función que permite a las personas usuarias compartir aplicaciones directamente entre dispositivos sin depender de un servidor central. Entre otras cosas que detallan en esta publicación:

am beispiel der philosophie – "eine disziplin zweiter ordnung" – und genauer der wissenschaftsphilosophie als meta-wissenschaft zeigt nicola auf, was eigentlich ziel der wissenschaft ist: erkenntnis-gewinn, -mehrung und -verbreitung mit der wahrheit als ziel.
[auch für diese vortrag empfehle ich die folien und die aufzeichnung zum nachlesen; ich kommt mit den folienfotos nicht hinterher. :)] #oat26

Dit is weer zo'n gevalletje 'lachen of huilen'? Ik ga voor lachen. En ik heb best zin om even op reportage te gaan in het land van de .si top level domeinnamen (tevens het geboorteland van Melania Trump trouwens): Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to replace the term “Artificial Intelligence” (“AI”) with “Super Intelligence” (“SI”) in the executive branch to recognize the continuously advancing technological frontier and the limitless promise it offers the American people. #Slovenië #Slovenia #Trump #AI #SI

Чи є ще у когось така фігня з F-Droid? Бо у мене він не хоче оновлюватись автоматично, можна тільки вручну з списку версій запустити оновлення.

Я знав, що скоро має вийти версія 2.0, сам про це писав, але вже пройшло кілька днів, а оновлення у мене все ще не з'являлось, зайшов на сторінку, а там такий сюрприз. Якщо що, то у мене Android 16, але найцікавіше що на старому Pixel 3a з Android 12 те саме.

Думав що вручну оновлю до нової версії, й тоді все буде добре, але ні, все далі як було так і залишилось.

in der #keynote 3 der #oat26 spricht Nicola Mößner über "Die Bücher sind geschlossen? Kritische Anmerkungen zur Publikationskultur in den Geisteswissenschaften": "Aufgezeigt wird, dass mit dem Problem des Science Trackings derzeit mehr als nur ein Anreiz für Veränderungen im System vorliegen. Eine Weiterentwicklung der Publikationskultur des geisteswiss. Denkstils scheint dringend geboten. Eine Möglichkeit besteht in der Wahl von Diamond-OA-Modellen."

@tinker unfortunately i've got an enforced holiday coming up in a week, so "a break" isn't really an option. I remember your story and I'm not worried about overdoing it, I don't feel i'm hustling past my capacity, the best way i can describe it is that the things i know i need to do aren't urgent enough to overcome my executive dysfunction, almost like procrastination but my threshold has been temporarily shifted upwards.

Lately I’ve really been considering moving from macOS to Linux. But y’all may not know how scary and chaotic that is. I assume I’m not alone.

Anyone have good stories making this transition?

I’ve been designing and coding for 30 years. THREE fucking decades. On Apple computers that entire time. And I have my family set-up on them. We share apps and stuff.

Moving to Linux would be a wild ride. Even though it’s the one place in my life where I’m contributing to big tech. It feels like the last holdout.

For an ADHD person like me, this is filling me with blend of excitement and anxiety.

I’m loving Linux on my old MacBook. But I might want some new hardware. Like a laptop from @frameworkcomputer. Their hardware is primo.

I’d love any/all advice, stories, etc.

@MarkAsser It has been half-heartedly drizzling here, about 5 hours later than originally expected.

Still doing better than the last couple of times rain was forecast though.

• “Of course it’s a #genocide. We would shoot at anyone, children and women too”.

• “Even if they didn’t pose any danger?”

• “Of course, none of them had any weapons! I think I saw an armed Palestinian only once, but we used to kill hundreds of them every day”

• “We were fine. We were happy. It was fun. It was like a videogame”

• “What do you mean? Killing was fun? Including children? Even if they weren’t armed? Whole families?”

• “There was a psychologist. We could talk to him if we needed. But we didn’t need it because we were fine”

• “Mine is an elite unity. We would identify the buildings to blow up while families were still in. We destroyed whole neighbourhoods. We destroyed the whole north of the Gaza strip because there should have been no houses to get back to. We set on fire memories, pictures, books, everything. We would fill up houses with gas and set them on fire, or we would gather all the pillows in the middle of the living room and set them on fire. Wool burns very well. In a minute the whole apartment was on fire. Mine was a unit made of left-wing youngsters. From Tel Aviv’s higher classes. We don’t hate the Arabs. We did it because it had to be done”.

• “The settlers, the crazy ones, those who believe in a crooked God and do strange things like not bathing or reproduce like rabbits: those perhaps hate the Arabs. But we progressive left-wing youngsters aren’t like that: we only did what we were told to do and then we’d smoke a cigarette or come back to have an aperitif together”

• “I asked my supervisor: ‘What do you think of what we’re doing here?’ He told me: ‘It’s right. You must just trust the system’”

• “We only do what the Israeli society tells us to do. If they tell us that Gaza must be wiped out, then we must wipe it out”

• “I went to Poland to visit concentration camps. I keep believing that Nazis were Nazis. But I don’t know what I am”

My first poster since more than 10 years.... #MOPRED symposium Frankfurt, Germany.

…A few things that would give me hope again, in no particular order:

- Launch of a national citizens’ assembly process grounded in the themes of the National Emergency Briefing
- Radical shift on housing policy to make multiple home ownership unaffordable
- Programme of moving water management and treatment into community-owned coops
- Programme of community-owned urban farming sites
- Programme of investment in public transport

@Hellybootwader back when I had a long commute I got into the habit of dividing books into Morning Books (difficult literature or non fiction to read when I had the energy to concentrate) and Evening Books (fluff, fantasy and sf to read when I was too tired to focus on anything difficult). I only have 20 minutes on the train now so it's not really worth reading, but I still divide books up that way and have one of each on the go at a time. So I have to separate to read lists

The current forecast for #Adelaide tomorrow is wet. 8-25mm wet. Let's see what really happens.
