I'm much less upset about the destruction of rare (old, out of print, niche) books by megacorps than I am about the fact that those books can't be digitized by libraries for public access or benefit because the former is legal and the latter is not.

Hi #PyConUS, miss you all!! Still stuck at home sick, but maybe one day I'll be better...

You've heard of IPv6, but are you ready for IPv8? https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-thain-ipv8-00.html

Someone said something about ingesting libc and this is what popped into my head

I am especially sending my love to the people of Iran, who have fighting their authoritarian government for so many years and now also must fight US-Israeli weapons in the name of some twisted "liberation." What freedom does a dead child have? These people are not my enemy.

Before going to bed last night, a friend told me they were already hearing bombs dropping (in the Middle East, but not in Iran or Israel). Their flights back to the US got cancelled.
Millions of people who don't want a war dragged into it anyways. I'm praying for the living and mourning the dead.

These "we broke the webpage because you use an ad blocker and we're blaming you for it" notices have been getting very aggressive lately. I've found they can be bypassed by disabling JavaScript, but that can cause other problems. Just gross. https://adguard.com/en/blog/ad-blockers-website-crash-blame.html

*sees news about Mastodon quote posts*
You know, with how long I've been on mailing lists, I'm honestly shocked this was opposed for so long, and not like... demanded post-haste. Maybe the objection was that quotes are only ok if they're bottom-posts?

I don't know that it's compatible to both criticise companies for irresponsibly integrating FOSS into their products without a plan for maintenance or sustainability, and then also turn around and blast them for doing the boring bureaucratic work to make those things more possible

2025-03-20 02:03:45 UTC

Today I stumbled across a neat FOSS project by @npub1cdq…2x6k, redshiftzero, @npub1kx8…97yg and @npub1tvd…53xk to help people get their data out of Twitter called https://cyd.social/
If that speaks to you, they are looking for contributors! https://docs.cyd.social/docs/contributing/contributors
They could also use some donations to support their work! https://opencollective.com/lockdown-systems

Today is a great day to share Mariame Kaba's list of actions that are neither protesting or voting. Take a look, pass it on! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OSWxykA1WHOi0vTPLAJDaCeVhR3uSfh7PhlCj4t4yT0/edit?usp=sharing

As far as I'm concerned, Mastodon has already enshittified because I can't spend 5 minutes on my timeline without seeing people go on and on at conspiracy length about how everywhere else sucks

sounds like you are not on the kinds of social networks where you receive a lot of bot DMs

I don't want to waste time trying to decipher a robot's incomprehensible babble but I fear that real people will be caught up in this by accident

I've heard people say that LLMs are helpful for ESL speakers but honestly one of my biggest fears with LLMs is that I can't tell the difference between a robot and someone who lacks English proficiency

If you have not seriously looked into this before, be prepared to discover that this process is bureaucratic, slow, infuriatingly difficult, often requires a job offer in advance, often requires formal education. It favours people with means and is nearly impossible if you are ill or disabled, even if you have family.
In all likelihood, it will be easier to move to another US state than to leave the country.

Quote: My colleagues and I in the Times Tech Guild are now on strike as management has really dragged their feet about fixing just cause and remote work verbiage in the contract that would strip us of job protections union or no.

This is a cool tool for US gardeners: an interactive daily light integral map by month! https://webgis.coe.clemson.edu/storymaps/light-integral-map/
I follow a lot of gardeners in California who are starting seeds now, and as someone up in Seattle I have a knee-jerk reaction of "practically in September??? How???" Well, this is how! Southern California gets more light in September than we do up in Western Washington in July 🤯 @npub1v5a…ny6w #gardening

Today is #SevereMEDay, a day to mourn those who have passed away from medical neglect and complications of severe myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and to recognize the struggles of the 25% of ME patients classified as severe. The day was chosen by the 25% ME Group: https://25megroup.org/
I have had severe ME for over a year now. I wrote about my experiences in https://hashman.ca/me-cfs/ @npub1gxp…cjhq @npub1er2…nz37
