🎛️🔬🧬 Redesigning Hylo: When community stewards guide platform evolution
A Q+A with Hylo Co-Founder Aaron Brodeur and a big report on our collaborationAaron Brodeur (New_ Public)
The Beauty of Being Average
"...Let’s change the narrative. What if an “average” life means a job that pays the bills, relationships that matter, and a home filled with laughter and dishes—not something to escape but something to honor?
"There’s dignity in showing up daily, even when no one applauds. There’s significance in being a reliable friend, a compassionate stranger, and a steady coworker. These roles seldom go viral, but they weave the fabric of society together in ways that fame and fortune seldom can."
Why you don’t need to stand out to live a meaningful life.
In a world that idolizes success and visibility, choosing to live an ordinary life can be a radical act of self-acceptance and quiet power.Sam Goldstein Ph.D. (Psychology Today)

#Deextinction is a scam on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. It will *not* help us save endangered species. Instead, we should spend our money on preserving their habitats *before* they go extinct.

I've just published a new page on my website documenting the last 3 months on an art residency exploring fire through the plant aiteann (gorse) and its relationship to sitka spruce: shanefinan.org/VAP/15_aiteann.…
This was part of the international research project investigating wildfires called FIRECULT. For the project, I created charcoal and made new drawings, made work with fire, and created two new video artworks.

Also, when will this code be integrated with the default Nextcloud Talk app by default, so additional installation and maintenance is no longer needed for basic app functionality?

Another security tip: Don't use Debian or LTS distros. Those distributions constantly use outdated software and usually only fix security issues if they have a CVE number.
Ubuntu also does not guarantee any fix to "Universe" packages. Even well known software with critical security issues might not get fixes, if the package maintainer loses interest (this for example happend with Mozilla Seamonkey webbrowser in the past!)
"Cuts of 30 to 70% are rumored at USDA next week. NIH & NSF funding is being destroyed & the agencies themselves facing cuts.
