it's really cool to see this movement pick up! 😄

I recently also wrote an article on how to degoogle, with a lot of European alternatives, which I think is also relevant: arvela.pt/posts/a-practical-gu…

"Still the night and full of starlight,
And the frost burned on the land;
Do you still remernher how I taught you
To hold a revolver in your hand?

A girl. a sheepskin and a beret.
In her hands she holds a gun,
A girl with her face as smooth as velvet
Keeps watch of the enemy’s caravan.

An aim, a shot right on the target,
Her small pistol had reached its mark,
An auto filled high with ammunition
Her shot had stopped it in the dark.

At dawn she crept out of the woodland,
With snowy garlands in her hair.
Encouraged by her little victory
For our future freer heirs."

They Might Be Giants - "The Communists Have The Music"

"I got handed an Ayn Rand sandwich
Straight from a can, it tasted so bland
I asked a lass to pass me a glass
Of Engel's Conditions of the Working Class

Right away they dragged me to the committee
To explain my un-American activity
They're gonna see they made a mistake
If they'd only let me play my mixtape

I'm not partial to the martial
Or the plutocrats in their beaver hats

And the fascists have the outfits

But I don't care for the outfits

What I care about is music

And the communists have the music"

And for them I guess it's true

Not for workers like me and you

Well I'll tell you mister capitalist

I recently found my old galaxy 10 and wanted to install graphene only to find out it's not supported. After a little searching, it looks like e OS is a degoogled option for older galaxy stuff.
Does anyone have any experience or advice with e OS? Specifically, how hard is it for a not terribly techy person to install and navigate?

@Christian_Freiherr_von_Wolff @GrapheneOS @cR0w I run GrapheneOS because they find and block the WEIRD stuff before I come near realizing it needs blocking. So that when I'm leaning over a kiosk desk in some random city thinking "oh crap did that just do what I think that just did..." the next thing that happens is _it not screw up my phone_. 😁


I used to marvel at the observational powers of some writers. To a great extent I still do. I am, somewhat unwillingly beginning to understand that this comes with the craft. I will offer an example.

Pre-writing me: Hey, look, they have a battery charger plugged into that power bar.

Writing me: A battery charger in their power bar. Interesting. I wonder why they chose this location. Did the charger come first and then get moved to accommodate the power bar? Is this a location central to what they use the batteries for? There's a little dust on the charger. Has the intended use been abandoned? Was there a project that needed rechargeable batteries that has now been left to rot? How did the success or failure of that project affect these people? Did it cause a conflict and if so was it resolved? And OMG stop already!

While this is undeniably useful for crafting a story, I am beginning to think this skill might be as much a curse as a blessing.

Oh, yes, it's both. Be warned: try to curb speaking all the random speculations out loud when people casually comment on potentially fascinating trivialities. Non-writers do not understand the process and quickly become irritated with the constant "speculations". 🤪
in reply to Janet Fraser

@braxa26 Oh for sure, totally internal dialogue. But then I'll mess up by correlating things to come to an accurate conclusion and then asking a question they might not have gotten to yet, which is... far beyond awkward.


Last month, during #ElonMusk’s appearance at CPAC, as he hoisted a #chainsaw in the air, stumbled over some of his words, & questioned whether there was really gold stored in Fort Knox, people on his social-media platform…started posting about #ketamine.

#Musk has said he uses ketamine regularly, so for the past couple of years, public speculation has persisted about how much he takes, whether he’s currently high, or how it might affect his behavior.

in reply to Nonilex

The WSJ has reported that #Musk also takes the drug recreationally, & in 2023, Ronan Farrow reported in The New Yorker that Musk’s “associates” worried that #ketamine, “alongside his isolation & his increasingly embattled relationship with the press, might contribute to his tendency to make chaotic & impulsive statements & decisions.”

Excessive use of the drug can make anyone feel like they rule the world.

#USpol #DOGE #Trump

in reply to Nonilex

#Ketamine is…a dissociative drug…during a high, which lasts ~1hr, people might feel detached from their body, their emotions, or the passage of time. Frequent, heavy recreational use—say, several times a week—has been linked to cognitive effects that last beyond the high, including impaired memory, delusional thinking, superstitious beliefs, & a sense of specialness & importance.

If they voted for Trump they are likely on Meta, not Fedi, and sadly they probably approve of such actions.

I personally find it appalling. Though, I did not vote for Trump nor did I hand anything over to him or his administration. Unfortunately, I am bound by law to tolerate his actions for the next four years despite my objects. I can only make legal protests against such actions.

So it turns out the geniuses over at Bluesky trust the client app to fetch, and honestly report, webpage metadata for preview cards, so with a little tinkering in the debug tools you can post whatever news stories you like and they look exactly the same as real ones.

in reply to Andrew

tbf that's somewhat minor?

I mean that client is just sending arbitrary posts as well and you could just send wrong URLs that don't fit the text.

idk why you would ever do it that way, but i've seen worse.

in reply to Cegorach

@dat couldn't this be fixed by the server digitally signing the card metadata so that it can't be modified? If the card metadata is sent back modified, the sighash breaks and the server should reject the post.
in reply to ikeacurtains

@ikeacurtains @dat it could, but it sounds like bluesky don't want to do that kind of solution because "the server" could be anyone. you know, because bluesky is """decentralised"""
in reply to Andrew

anyway so bluesky continue not to fix this nonsense so i am going to keep abusing it until someone does something about it
in reply to Andrew

This is why Mastodon has the collective DDoS orbital death laser, because every instance does this individually on the server when a link rolls in. Would be nice if there were a happy medium for this
in reply to Les Orchard

@lmorchard I mean there is, though, if you're BlueSky, because BlueSky is not in fact decentralised, so they could just fetch the image themselves instead of letting me do it
in reply to Andrew

Yeah, that's true, they can avoid being a thundering herd if they're just one critter
in reply to Les Orchard

@lmorchard Mastodon could also do better than this, since Mastodon is not a zero trust environment. Mastodon is a system which is largely *made of* mechanisms for rating actors according to levels of trust! Servers could easily configure "well, mastodon.social, THEM I trust to generate accurate preview cards, but racistfurries.club we don't trust so I'll generate my own"

This is what I like about it here, we admit we are not perfect, and could do things better. Is the discourse forum still up to discuss issues around activity pub / Fediverse, I am sure I was signed up at some point, but not sure what the website is.

Well Roan is the clear favourite, but electing a pope requires a two-thirds majority, which she didn't quite get, so it's black smoke this time.

I just figured out the ending of one of my WIPs. Of course, that just means I have another 50k words to write to complete the novel. I may actually have some backing to let me complete that, too. It feels weird that I'm completing a novel that happens in the middle of my timeline, instead of providing a proper starting point for readers, but then I suppose that it really doesn't matter as I have no idea how the beginning gets to this middle point, specifically. I mean, I do, but there are significant gaps that need to be filled in before I can consider the starting novel a complete work. And before all that, I have to figure out how to get published.

The memo still hasn’t made it to everyone about the systemic function of the #TeslaTakedown protests. I still keep getting well-meaning quesitons like the one below from @tymwol.

The purpose is •not• just to register symbolic discontent. The purpose is •not• just to take individual action that directly harms Musk.

The purpose is to tank demand for Tesla’s product, and thus tank their stock price. This is Musk’s biggest vulnerability, Smaug’s exposed belly.

1/ hachyderm.io/@tymwol/114111199…

in reply to Paul Cantrell

- Make the Tesla brand a PRACTICAL LIABILITY: maybe you don’t feel bad about buying one, but…people vandalize them, and so many people are getting rid of them that the resale value is going to be crap for a long time. Owning one is a headache, and you’re going to lose a lot of money on it.

(I get a lot of replies to the effect of “How does it hurt Musk to get rid of a car you already bought??” Get your systems thinking hat on! A supply glut in the used market both creates downward price pressure on new cars •and• changes people’s financial expectations when buying a new one.)

in reply to Paul Cantrell

- Make the Tesla brand FRIGHTENING: They surveil you. They trap you inside. They burn people alive on a regular basis. They’re extremely vulnerable to hacking, even more than other modern cars with OTA software updates. One of these days, some hacker is going to make every Tesla in the country drive through its garage door…or worse. Driving a Tesla puts you in danger.

(This isn’t just logical; it’s visceral. Bombard people with images of Teslas vandalized, smashed, on fire. Make it a Pavlovian reaction: Tesla = danger, chaos, destruction.)

Quick checklist for #TeslaTakedown action:

- Does it make Teslas socially toxic?
- Does it make Tesla a practical liability?
- Does it make Teslas feel dangerous?

Any or all = good.

Do not underestimate the power of brand death over consumers and investors. The brand is already associated with fascism. Amplify that. Judo it. Take them town.

the vast majority of our digital equipment and infrastructure has similar issues. sure your smartphone won't run anyone over, but malware, account hacks or google turning your location data over to the cops can be devastating. Zuckerberg, Sundar, Bezos and the AIbros among others are very cozy with the new regime
in reply to Paul Cantrell

> They burn people alive on a regular basis.

They also poison people around with hydrogen fluoride when they burn. This is why using fire to vandalize them is a horrifying idea.

Yes this also implies that if they catch fire in one's garage for no reason whatsoever, one can *still* end-up with crippling long-term problems from the fumes.

Those things should never have been allowed in residential or public areas.

in reply to LisPi

@lispi314
I’m not thrilled about vehicle fires either — they’re dangerous, wasteful, and (as you say) toxic — but I’m also mindful of the context here. We’re fighting a group of fascists attempting to end democracy. The potential social and environmental damage of •that•, the sheer quantity of suffering, is so many orders of magnitude larger than a few dozen vehicle fires…well, not saying it makes vehicle fires OK or harmless, but I want to make sure that I’m responding to these two things in a way that is proportional to the harm and keeps the larger context in mind.

Like…imagine somebody set a Nazi truck on fire in Germany in 1934. How would we feel about that in hindsight? Is the (very real) air pollution what would stand out to us?

Maybe you’re on the same page about all that already. I just feel like it needs saying.

ImageMagick


One of the most frequent issues with my Friendica instance is that the scripts using php-imagick are not handling exceptions. This is not a huge issue though it is an example of how a lot of the code base, in my opinion, is rushed and loosely implemented. I decided to learn more about ImageMagick in order to address some of these issues. I know it is a small issue, though we start small and work up to larger tasks right 😁.

I have used ImageMagick in the past to do some quick batch processing on files for the web. I love how it has grown in version 7. I will be testing soon. Will post any significant issues I find/ resolve.



I'm gonna get some crap for saying this. After watching the Commander in Corruption's speech last night, I feel the urge to tell everyone listening to Fox News to please for the love of God find something else to listen to that isn't full of Russian propaganda. Turn on football, or even better yet, a progressive radio station or podcast or whatever. If you want the truth, watch the MeidasTouch Network on YouTube.


Is there anyone running for OSI leadership positions who understands that the "Open Source AI" definition was a dismal failure that allows branding proprietary plagiarism machines as "Open", and has a platform of stopping future mistakes like that?
in reply to Josh Triplett

While I don't agree with all of your assumptions there, @bkuhn and I are running on a platform that considers the OSAID a mistake and calls for its repeal: codeberg.org/OSI-Reform-Platfo…

Vivaldi


I remember a while ago installing Vivaldi and deciding that since it was just a Chromium derivative I did not need it. As I already used a self compiled Chromium. I have been test driving it again for the last week and I must admit I am impressed. It is a nice interface on top of Chromium. I do not know that I will continue to use it, though for now it meets my needs just fine.


Let’s be clear: Trump and Musk are stealing from life-saving programs that millions of Americans rely on, just so they can cut taxes for the ultra-wealthy.

Time to cast off lines and put Cape Town to our rudder as we set sail for Sint Maarten
in reply to Trammell Hudson

"Paquebot" allows mail to be marked "Posted at Sea" along with the coordinates and then delivered postage free by the next port of call.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Successfully climbed the 699 steps of the Saint Helena "Jacob's Ladder", enjoyed the view, and then climbed back down since there isn't much to do atop Ladder Hill.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

After a busy morning of unfurling and rigging work, we have sailed off our anchor and are making way towards Sint Maarten.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Enjoyed the sunset over the south Atlantic while finishing the fore mast stun sail rigging. Won't hoist them until morning, however.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Moved the outer sheets and other lines from port to starboard during the morning watch.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

The waxing moonlight is nearly strong enough to read by during the quiet night watches.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Found a point of chaffing on the ratlines and installed some antichaff that will last until we lower the halyard at sunset (and will try to find a better lead during the night watch)
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Sunset means it's time to douse the stunsails from the fore- and mainmasts and to prepare for the night watch.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

This time it worked! The overhauled gear on the main course and awkward hoisting position on the sloop deck makes it challenging to thread the Swedish furled stunsail and yard through a narrow window of staysail sheets.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

I love the way the gear, topping lifts and footropes can be seen in silhouette through the sails.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Prepared to wear ship during the maintenance watch by shackling blocks for the port stunsail gear to the mainmast yards and mousing them closed for safety.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

First visual contact by the lookout in a week as we approach the TSS near the coast of Brazil. We hope the northerner ocean currents will help carry us through the doldrums if the winds fail.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Today we celebrate the halfway point on our voyage from Cape Town to Sint Maarten.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Enjoyed a beautiful full moon rise at sunset as we continue our run westward on a port tack towards the Brazilian coast.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Learning how to turn a three lead decorative knot into a five lead version is tricky but doable during a quiet watch.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Finally finished the French spiral and decorative knotwork on the foredeck ladder handrails using the bosun needle.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

And then relaxed on the fore royal yard to enjoy Sailors Sunday before evening watch starts.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Just before sunrise we lashed down the mainmast stunsail booms for the last time, marking the end of the broad reach of our Atlantic crossing as we switch to a downwind run north for the rest of the voyage (with both port and starboard stunsails set on the foremast)
This entry was edited (5 months ago)
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Unbent the heavy main course and tied the lighter weight "tropics sail" (480g/m2) onto the yard as we approach the equator.
This entry was edited (5 months ago)
in reply to Trammell Hudson

At sunrise we could just make out the buildings of Natal and nearby cities.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Enjoying the Vapor Wave aesthetic this sunrise, mostly since it means we're almost done with this watch and can go eat breakfast.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

We paused during the stunsail hoisting to appreciate the actual sunrise.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Noon sight just below the equator during the equinox means the sun is nearly 89° overhead and shadows are almost straight down.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Nearly two knots of northward current as we transit the doldrums at the equator, which means that around a third of our distance per day is not coming from our sails.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

1°S and the sun is directly overhead, making the nearly windless downwind run even hotter.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

One last night watch to enjoy the southern stars before we cross into the northern hemisphere.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

And we're past the equator on a fast beam reach! The line crossing ceremony will be later today once all the watches are awake.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Although the northern trade winds mean we will be on a beam reach for the rest of voyage, so we can properly furl the stun sails for stowage, unreeve the gear, and ship the booms inboard to lash them securely to the yards.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

We encountered squalls during the night watch and doused the skysail plus the main and mizzen royals. This also helped reduce the heeling.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Since crossing the equator we've been seeing more sargasso and am curious how the winds and currents create such long straight lines.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Be careful tightening the course tack on the capstan or you might be going aloft to repair the head lashing.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Chaffing inspection found wear between the main upper topsail halyard and a backstay deadeye. The three sheave block will need to be relocated next time the yard is down.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Due to the heeling and the waves we have moved the lookout station to the sloopdeck.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Steady winds on a beam reach means we set all the mainmast stay sails, including the "deckswabber".
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Just before sunrise the orders came for "more canvas!" So we laid aloft to release the clew gasket and unfurl the mizzen top gallant.
in reply to Trammell Hudson

Sunrise was spectacular with the waning crescent moon coming above the horizon just before dawn.


Sarah O'Connor (FT) warns students taking up AI to get them through their studies may be counter-productive;

Good careers depend on employees being able to demonstrate they add value & if they depend on AI to deliver what they claim to know, why would employers not just 'employ' artificial intelligence directly?

While clinging to AI might be understandable in a time of student stress & anxiety, educators (universities) should help them resist the siren call of AI!

I completely concur!

#Mutualaid for March

Just $10 bucks away from covering the PO box renewal fee. Thanks so much for the help so far!

Having been housing insecure for a bit having a PO box is a tremendous safety net so I really appreciate the help maintaining that.

Thanks so much for the support so far this month!

We making slow progress on our March fundraising goal, can we break $500 before this weekend? We've got a couple bills (cell phone and credit card) due in the next few days.

So far y'all have really helped me survive capitalism while taking time to focus on our tiny human and look after my partner as they recover from childbirth.

URGENT #MutualAid

We're urgently needing to send in our rent check, but there's more.

With @nat's postpartum depletion, I'm falling behind on work, and we need childcare ASAP to start catching up.

We got to 70% of our Feb goal; this month we're only 15% of the way.

So right now we need a HUGE push. I have over 4k followers and 18 monthly subscribers. If even 1% of y'all made a monthly donation, that would double my monthly patrons.

PS Thanks so much for your boosts and support. Got some racist hate on my fundraising posts this week. I really appreciate y'all recognizing that it's fucking hard to ask for help and it means a lot when this community comes thru for us.

EXTREMELY URGENT MUTUAL AID

Trying to send rent check TODAY but we still need $1920 (have $450 on hand). I know a lot of people are struggling and don't have much to give, but if you're able to help, it would mean SO much.

Help a Black activist & my partner & baby!

in reply to luce !!!

@luce !!!

In today's society The Bible is a book people can hold in their hands. So it is not as obvious to them that The Bible is not a book but is a collection of books. Revelation 22:18 is referring to the book of Revelation not the entire collection of books.

As to whether the Catholics added Apocrypha or it was removed by the Protestants is really of no concern to me. I am an Atheist, more specifically a Secular Buddhist and have no horse in the race. Though it is nice for people to practice tolerance and allow everyone to believe as they choose to believe.



Interesting how you can confuse people by calling a spreadsheet a spreadsheet instead of "an excel".
