THE SLOG.
When you're not inspired—you're just stubborn.
I wrote something on what no one told me about writing a book. But really, it’s about anything worth doing.

The Slog - What No One Told Me About Writing A Book.
There’s still so much prestige and status attached to a book deal. I'm not sure that’s how it should be—but just 0.Kristie De Garis (By Hand)
P. G. Wodehouse once said he would:
"write every sentence 10 times"
Assuming you're a Scots lassie and as a Scotsman myself, I rather like this quote from the article:
"It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine"

just heard a young person describe how an unexplained, sudden onset, and pretty dramatic health issue arose this morning, and then she cheerily said, "but the important thing is that I didn't miss a stream!"
we're normalizing so hard that we've normalized how hard we normalize things.
😬
I feel like so many of us in the covid-avoiding community have had bad disease experiences that have informed our caution now.
I wonder how many people on Team Virus Slurper have *also* had life-changing experiences of illness and just let the life lessons whoosh over their heads… 🤔
With all the shit going around about how important the gender marker is on identifying documents, I have a question:
How many cis guys do you think add an inch or two when they fill out that form at the DMV? It's not like they measure...
*the UK has the worst post-pandemic health outcomes. Our mental health is staggeringly bad & it's driving up welfare costs. But heaven forbid we address health disparities, invest in health infrastructure & access, get people care for mind/body, improve life so we are more resilient.
*Israel has "tried everything" except a serious 2 state solution...

I’m vaguely interested in running local models to experiment with contextual search and summarization (I have a massive PDF library), but not interested enough to finish the setup process. Way down the list of priorities.
On the other hand, looking at that thumbnail… when will we see the first MNT 10 inch mini rack server? ;)
wait !? They designed a non-upgradable desktop after fully customizable laptops with swappable parts !?
Are they running backwards ?
I really don't understand ! And I am a happy framework laptop user... I don't think their move is wise but as stated by others before maybe fedi users are in a bubble ? Or they are ?
FTC says credit card charges are capped at $1, amid other budget shortfalls.

You know that stupid kid in early grade school who ate paste, and you are still surprised they are still alive, with all the stupid, irrational, and illogical choices you know they made?!
That is your target audience, and you should assume there are millions of those types of people. If you can make something, even they can use without putting any thought into it, and easily wrap their head around, you will have created something widely successful.

On The Insecurity of Telecom Stacks in the Wake of Salt Typhoon - Dhole Moments
Towards the end of last year, we learned that a group (allegedly affiliated with the Chinese government, referred to as “Salt Typhoon”) breached T-Mobile and other telecommunications co…Dhole Moments
Any act of repair a gratifying gesture of refusal and subversion these days. A poke in the eye to corporate waste and consumer lassitude.
Feeling like renegade heating engineer Harry Tuttle (Robert De Niro) of ‘Brazil’ right now, having decided: eff no, not into landfill—not yet.
And how fitting: while finishing up, @pluralistic heard on CBC radio discussing DCA & right-to-repair.

@404mediaco has obtained a list of sites and services monitored by an ICE contractor ShadowDragon to let government analysts search and draw connections between people.
"The long list of sites and services that ShadowDragon’s SocialNet tool accesses is a reminder of just how much data is accessible and collected from and about us to provide surveillance services to the government and others."

The 200+ Sites an ICE Surveillance Contractor is Monitoring

Another reason I don't feel great about using Firefox is that I just got another fund-raising email from Mozilla. It doesn't say "Corporation" or "Foundation." Just "Mozilla."
They are asking for contributions because $3.55M in federal funding is "currently at risk."
Again, for the nth time, MOZILLA CORPORATION HAS HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS FROM GOOGLE. USE THAT MONEY.
Mozilla Corporation should fully fund Mozilla Foundation.
