So relieved and delighted to have this stuff out into the world where it can help new (and maybe also some experienced) fedi admins and mods think through their work. And maybe help convey to others at least some of what makes the fediverse such a structurally interesting place.
I'm even more optimistic about the fediverse than I was when we jumped into this—and sobered, too, by how much work there is to be done. But I think it's doable.

#OTD in 1911.
Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre by museum employee Vincenzo Peruggia and was not recovered until two years later.
The theft and subsequent recovery in 1913 led to the publication of many cultural depictions such as the 1915 opera Mona Lisa, two early 1930s films (The Theft of the Mona Lisa and Arsène Lupin) and the song "Mona Lisa" recorded by Nat King Cole—one of the most successful songs of the 1950s.

You might want to reconsider your use of Anaconda / Conda. Updated terms of service are unclear about what is and isn't allowed under their free tier, with potential of contamination of "off limits" packages due to dependency resolution (using environment files).

Anaconda puts the squeeze on data scientists now deemed to be terms-of-service violators
Academic, non-profit organizations told to start paying up – or elseThomas Claburn (The Register)
@marcoshuerta Ow, thanks for this! I didn't look for alternatives yet and this might just deal with all the concerns I have.
I mentioned on LinkedIn that the backlash might be swift with people pivoting to alternatives fast, but I didn't know the ecosystem was already in place.
The `conda` package manager (and mamba) are BSD-3, so Anaconda's TOS only apply to their repository/channels. miniforge uses the conda package manager, but the default channel is conda-forge (which I prefer anyway...)
conda-forge had Apple Silicon binaries of pandas etc early on, so I've been using their channel via miniforge since I got an M1 Mac Mini a few years back.

The crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests and press covering the demonstrations in the streets of #Chicago during the #DNC should be seen not as a surprise, but part of a strategy of counter-insurgency.
This is coupled with an attempt by the party to incorporate a "progressive" veneer - made possible by politicians like #AOC and others - which seeks to crack these movements and defang them.
To move people off the streets and herd them back into the terrain of representative politics. To expand the divide between "peaceful protesters" and "outside agitators" to its logical conclusion: the nullification of class struggle and anti-colonial conflict.
The Democrats want to throw a wet blanket on protest movements and social struggle, and instead make them part of a broader coalition that takes orders from the party apparatus that is managed by those loyal to the Pentagon, Wall Street, and ruling class interests.
