As an occasional journalist, I just love the way Ed Yong closes his latest OpEd at NYTs & couldn’t agree more. nytimes.com/2023/12/11/opinion… #GiftArticle #writing #journalism

ā€œJournalists can act as a care-taking profession that soothes & nurtures. We are among the only professions that can do so at a scale commensurate with the scope of the crises before us. We can make people who feel invisible feel seen. We can make everyone else look.ā€

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

This is so true - and both a blessing and a curse. Politically, the current brand of right-wing extremists (not just in the US) would still be a fringe anomaly in some dark and lonely corner of the internet, if journalists back then hadn't felt that they're a curiosity that needed to be reported on?
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

It is a beautiful piece. Shouldn’t even be considered opinion, imho.

We really need a nice mod manager/downloader for Doom on Linux. Think Prism Launcher for Minecraft but also with a full screen mode like emulation station, or at least an 'add to steam' button to be deck friendly...

Oh dear, a feel another unfinished programming project coming on...

awesome!
Thank you.
I’ve listened to Les Mis 3 times.
Highly recommend.
Beautiful story.
None of the visual adaptations do it justice.
in reply to selfcare.tech

I really like the idea. Although a lot of the Audio is not so bad, some Speakers are really not trained at all. Don’t want to judge, I see the effort, but I just can’t listen to poor voice acting. Have I probably missed some exceptions?


Today we should all be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This declaration was unanimously passed by the UN, and applies to all people of all colours, genders, religions, ages, etc. It was created to make the possibility of peace in the world more readily realisable.

You can read more about it on Heather Cox's blog.

You can hear my song about it here:

in reply to Brodie Robertson

this is interesting, waiting till it somehow stabilizes to see if it is a way faster over network than old solutions

in reply to Muse

exactly - the more your ego is invested in something, the more risky to your ego the execution becomes.
in reply to Muse

What I have been doing is just getting some "ugly" stuff down so I don't lose the main ideas, and then clean it up and enhance it later. Sometimes much later.

#AntennaPod has a great year end review called Echo. All of this data is stored and calculated on my device, and I am sharing because I choose to ā˜ŗļø

There were more stats but this is the share bit here.

I'm not surprised to see these as my top 5 now.

This one takes a bit of finding and when the stream is a full as this it involves getting wet feet to get the right composition.

I've been working on features to allow artists to add their own music to jam.coop this week.

As a consequence there's a load more things to listen to:
jam.coop/artists/

Including this wonderful jam.coop exclusive from couleurves:

We now even send a confirmation email to you when you buy something šŸ˜‚

This might sound ignorant of how fediverse actually works, but if y'all on PixelFed, follow me there please? Pretty please???

Interestingly, the default pixelfed public doesn’t have a follow button. Unless I’m missing it?

At any rate, I can follow from my site. Followed!

New species concept just dropped ... no, wait, it actually seems useful. Wayne Maddison & Jeannette Whitton published in @SystBiol's #DiamondOA BSSB so it's free to read and free to authors. Even if the concept itself doesn't take off, I think lots of lectures are going to use the figures and ideas.
