Eric Idle being the best surviving Python
Idle on John Cleese's anti-woke shit: "He's who he is now. The thing I try to remember is the good times when we were young and funny. And we are no longer those people or speaking to today's generation. We're old farts. We should be left to go quietly to bed and watch the telly." (He giggles.)
"Asked by an X user if he is still close to Cleese, Idle responded "I haven't seen Cleese for seven years." A fan replied saying this made them sad, to which Idle said: "Why. It makes me happy.""
"Idle appeared to disregard Chappelle's claim that cancel culture is a phenomenon because "Well where does he say it? On SNL" later adding "Well, you're not being that much canceled, are you? If you were in your room complaining, I'd have a lot more sympathy.""
"He continued: "You shouldn't moan about the audience. There's nothing wrong with the audience. If they don't laugh at your jokes, there's something wrong with your joke. And so... I'm not terribly sympathetic to that sort of attitude, to be honest.""

When people say you should "own your own data", or that the future of the web is "ownership", what does that mean?

We need to talk about digital ownership.

We need to talk about digital ownership

"Ownership" means ten different things to ten different people. Let's talk about what we actually want.

Low-Tech Magazine explores techniques of the past and combines them with the knowledge of today to propose more sustainable futures.

Based on this idea, Kris de Decker and Roel Roscam Abbing organize an evening exploring concepts from the Internet's history that can help create a more sustainable future internet. With talks by Kris De Decker, @rra and @timrodenbroeker

How about systems where independent publishers could own their platform? Or what about media where you actually get to see posts from those you follow?

The evening will start with short talks and then make space for a larger discussion and chats over a drink. Are you curious what fresh ideas from the past can tell us about the future and who are the people working on them? Join us at #Akasha Hub in #Barcelona on the 21st of February.

We in the #Socialcoop Finance Working Group just started a thread proposing an annual budget for the co-op: loomio.com/d/xqw7FtUT/toward-a… Please discuss!

Toward an annual budget

We in the Finance Working Group have determined that the co-op should develop a cohesive annual budget. We currently take in far more than we spend; our current balance of £24k, for instance, exceeds our total spend over 5 years of £22k.

ironically while gassing up this monstrosity we saw an actually imported mitsubishi ute. sadly i did not grab a picture, but basically a ute is like a pickup truck but built on a passenger car platform, and they tend to be smaller than a pickup truck.

Traditionally yes, it'd be something like this but as local car manufacturing has completely vanished you'll often hear people call things like a Hilux a ute, along with the more recent addition in our markets those giant US style pickup trucks like the F250.

An issue fixed for me is an issue fixed for potentially hundreds of people who don't have the same voice I do. So I'm interested.

Just having the ability to highlight text and send it to something like speech-dispatcher would be helpful for me.

Also a Breeze OLED dark theme would be nice. Black backgrounds are always better than dark gray, but a traditional High Contrast theme is too much and too ugly for me.
