Last Notes npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Hard to stay entirely sane in an insane world. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden RE: https://todon.eu/@faab64/116930045840569231 npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden I can get along with "It's even better in iMax" but screw "You can only watch this in iMax". npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden You have my sympathies. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden RE: https://mas.to/@fsinn/116874282494251971 npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden So stop relying on Amazon. It’s a UN report - not sure why you wouldn’t be allowed to see that. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden https://www.un.org/unispal/document/coi-report-23jun26/ npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden #OfCourseItsGenocide npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden America exists as it is today because of its genocide (as does the UK). Until they admit that was wrong it will be difficult to make progress. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden #ScribesAndMakers 6/12. Say something kind about yourself and your creativity. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Personally I'd support a 105% rate, so the more they earn above a certain threshold the lower their wealth becomes. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden RE: https://ieji.de/@DiaaMahmoud097/116710362456852936 npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden RE: https://mastodon.social/@MohammedHussein/116652688707907918 npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden The USA sends troops to distant trouble spots. Cuba sends doctors. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden RE: https://mastodon.social/@DrALJONES/116627899742058704 npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Unsophisticated people are all too ready to believe his weasel words, and have long forgotten his immediate post-Brexit denial of the promised £350m a week for the NHS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=3BNCmn208SfbRO5m&v=cA3XTYfzd1I&feature=youtu.be npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Victims of their own (un)popularity. The real question is which pretender to government do we collectively think will provide the best future. I don’t see Farridge having much insight into, or concern about, the average voter. 1/2 npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden thanks - I believe that removes my misunderstanding: it's effectively a capacitance mic with a built-in impedance converter? npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden As I understand it, electrets don’t draw current - am I wrong? (It’s been known to happen). npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Why does the government always insist on immediate repayment after they’ve caused a problem? Seems quite unnecessarily punitive. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Poll: the nation which most threatens world peace is: npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Hey, @npub1p09…m5vl, can you tell me why I appear to be the only person who has ever used the #OfCourseItsGenocide hashtag? npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden increasing specialisation/optimisation leads to increased fragility? Who would have thought?! npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden once collared a Beeb PR person at the Labour conference and took him to task: pure Teflon, the shit just wouldn’t stick. The empire-supporting self-righteousness was off the scale. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden what a pleasant change from their Israel coverage! npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Sounds like our wonderful BBC, which never saw an Empire it didn’t approve of. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden consider it an affirmation of your design and a warning (unless you were just scratching an itch) to do more thorough competitive research. Certainly not all bad news … npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden the Python Software Foundation has jumped in to enforcement with both feet, with no credible attempts to take any other actions than excluding community members. It’s sad to see an organisation one worked hard for go so wrong so quickly. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden great merciful heavens, is it six o’clock already?!! npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden What happened to “Sal the news that’s fit to print?” Nowadays it’s more like “all the news that’s cheap to gather.” npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden donated. Happy birthday, Joy! npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden good luck with that project! Too many gullible voters want to believe the lies, because it’s easier than thinking for themselves. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden you think that will stop Trump declaring whole groups to be antics and persecuting them to the point of death? npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden well yes, but thanks to the old guard who actually made this shit work, users don’t really need to understand the details anymore. I have only skimmed the surface myself! npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden I’m old enough to remember when TCI/IP was invented, and anyone smartcenougb to have deployed it could be trusted by default. And you tell these young folk nowadays, etc., etc. (stumbles off, mumbling and stroking into beard). npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Bullshit jobs are bad enough, but bullshit unemployment is a level up. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Same being unemployed in the UK. It’s almost a full-time occupation. The waste is criminal. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Most people have no idea how expensive being poor is. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden I’ve had to lend someone enough money to get passports for her and her two kids, otherwise whe would have been unable to pursue her claim against a neglectful council landlord. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden I don’t worry much about pixellated weapons, but still think (my opinion being worth no more than anyone else’s in this matter) that the psychology of these games is unhealthy. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden that the majority can remain unaffected. I’m not concerned about them. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden it hardly seems surprising that violence is becoming normalised when things like this are sold as entertainment. No matter how “harmless” they are generally, what about those extremely vulnerable to suggestion, for example? npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden #OfCourseItsGenocide npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden he’s no slouch. Love his take on taxes. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden if you believe that the official figures are the total extent of the damage. Which I don’t. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden the last good thing I remember the EU doing for open source was funding pypy - must have been at least twenty years ago. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Acceptable and unacceptable Palestine actions npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden why must they have done anything wrong? Moral outrage is a broad spectrum treatment. They are citizens of a genocidal state. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden you do realise, I hope, that equating Israeli nationality with Judaism is anti-Semitic? npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden There have to be consequences. This should be the worldwide response to citizens of a state that commits genocide. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden would it surprise you to discover I find those remarks anti-Semitic? Many Jews oppose the Israeli regime. @TorahJews, for example. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden imagine if this were normal in your life. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden just another religious nut job? npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Yesterday I celebrated three quarters of a century on this planet. Looking back on the promise of the 1950s and 60s, frankly I’m disappointed in us. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden It seems Ben Gvir is admitting he is a Nazi. Not before time, either! npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden maybe, but that came rather later. The real money was in the big metal - and that too was eventually overtaken by possibly inferior mass market products. I’m sure we’ve both watched many instances of corporate hubris play out. Remember Ken Olsen’s daft “Unix is snake-oil?” npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden I worked for Eric Schmidt’s division at Sun Microsystems when he took the decision to monetise development tools instead of keeping them open. This departure from the UNIX philosophy ultimately cost Sub dearly, I believe. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden Sorry. Doing what I can to help the foundation. I know about foundations ... npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden You should definitely come to Python by the Sea. It should have a web site soon ... npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden The world will once. more have to learn how to do things bottom-up, but with a shared vision. Step 1: tax billionairedom out of existence. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden in my (now outdated, UK-only) experience, academia knows little of solidarity. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden sounds to me like you’ve swallowed some information you don’t understand. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden as happened in my case in my mid-fifties. “Pre-cancerous,” I was told. Still here twenty years later! npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden I found the book highly interesting, but want to know why she stayed so long before realising FB wasn’t for her. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden and what proportion of total income do those 5% recurrence? npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden green-fingered kid! npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden most important: use a toast rack to ensure correct crispness after toasting. Butter when required, early slices melt the butter, later ones less so. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden One might paranoidly believe this was a name-collecting exercise. Am I wrong? I hope so. npub1uyekuhmc76dcfrx55kzffl5ckhx0lzuq4gmk20uf68mpyzn668lqjax0q6 Steve Holden only if you’ve selected a case-insensitive file system?
