Twelve years ago a mass movement shaped by the ideas and practices of anarchism erupted out of New York City's Zuccotti Park. Taking inspiration from the Arab Spring, the Green Wave of Iran, and the Indignados Movement of Spain, participants in Occupy Wall Street boldly experimented with participatory democracy and mutual aid in public spaces.
Next week we're excited to host Marisa Holmes, one of the originators of Occupy Wall Street, for a conversation about her new book on the movement, "Organizing Occupy Wall Street: This is Just Practice." She'll be joined by author and media studies scholar @ntnsndr for a lively discussion of Occupy's experimental structure and the lessons we can learn looking back on its successes and failures.
Register for free and grab the book at firestorm.coop/events/3097-mar…. Not sure if you can make the event? Sign up anyway and you'll receive a link to the recorded conversation when we post it!

But other than that sad fact, solid lineup, just bought a ticket. The lineup so far is more how it used to be, before it became more "metal" over the last 2 or 3 years.

One of the (many) good sides of teaching: you get plenty of time to delve into topics and develop your own material (and code).
I now want to share part of my materials as a #DataScience textbook online:

(work in progress)
All materials and source code is on #github: github.com/florian-huber/data_…
And a pdf version can be found on #zenodo: zenodo.org/records/10074475

@foaylward installation of Python from the first-party installer works well for Windows and Mac.
I know that veteran programmers love environments, but this is just another confusing abstraction that students have to understand. Better to say "hey, if you want pandas, do `pip install pandas`" and it will just be there. I don't think the 3 conda steps starting at florian-huber.github.io/data_s… are going to make any student say "I love python"

(I would like to compare that with Slovakia. Last time I've checked, one of the figures was to the tune of approx. 30M€ for three years.)
When I was a child in the 80s, the night sky was filled with stars. And those stars inspired us to imagine other worlds & ask really big questions.
Decades later, the night sky looks like a much lonelier place. Light pollution is increasing & I fear we may lose the ability to be awed by looking up & recognizing our place in the universe.
I don’t know about others, but I sure miss the stars. Image: Luke Stackpoole via Unsplash

Super powerful. In my ignorance, I am moved.
"We call for a ceasefire in Gaza, a solution for the safe return of the hostages in Gaza and Palestinian prisoners in Israel, and an end to Israel’s ongoing occupation. We also call on governments and civil society in the United States and across the West to stand up against the repression of support for Palestine.
And we refuse to allow such urgent, necessary demands to be suppressed in our names. When we say never again, we mean it."

*Slime mould appreciation post*
Slime moulds usually live as single celled organisms, but will occasionally perform an astonishing feat of cooperation - gathering together as a collective ‘organism’ to form structures such as fruiting bodies. They may resemble fungi, but are really a unique group of amoebozoa.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮 • • •I ported abuse to SDL2 some time ago. You can find it at github.com/jjsimpso/abuse-sdl2 but I don't currently have prepackaged binaries for it. My version also adds gamepad support and I fixed choppy audio that I experienced on my system.
I haven't played the game extensively, so I'd be curious how well my version performs compared to the others. There is also at least one other SDL2 port out there besides mine.
