This Friday at 12PM US Central, I’m doing a special live stream to celebrate 10 years of TuxDigital and my YouTube channel! I've got a LOT planned, live episode of This Week in Linux, a Giveaway, a live AMA, & more!
Storytelling, World Building, and Establishing a Better United States
I know things seem dark right now, but creators have the means to point people in the right direction, so that we can pass through the challenges we now face in the US and out the other side to a better world. And I do mean world, not just the United States.
We have to have clear and hopeful dreams for what can be. The clearer our dreams, the faster our changes can come into being
I am calling upon our patriot storytellers to join me for a talk on Hopecore worldbuilding. What would a United States worth living in look and feel like? What would we need to do to make it a reality? What national and cultural changes would we need to pursue? And how do we build these ideas into stories that inspire?
This is an extension of my Hopecore talk, but the focus is solely on world building.
For a long time people told tales about going to the moon, then we in the US decided to **GO!** Our National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) was established on July 29, 1958.
I've been putting things like this into a single UI that I can bring up with a hotkey. Screen brightness, ASCII chart, current IP address, app launcher etc, all in one place. It's incredibly convenient

A new study published today in Nature has found that X’s algorithm – the hidden system or “recipe” that governs which posts appear in your feed and in which order – shifts users’ political opinions in a more conservative direction.
Led by Germain Gauthier from Bocconi University in Italy, it is a rare, real-world randomised experimental study on a major social media platform. And it builds on a growing body of research that shows how these platforms can shape people’s political attitudes...

i know linux should be more accessible, but i feel that 1 gentoo should stay gentoo (though arch has also been un-arched due to arch-install) and 2 immutable distros dont stimulate new users to experiment, and after all, today's new users are tomorrow's linux kernel maintainer

Wrote a blog post, instead of another GitLab Snippet, on upgrading our two #Tor relays to use the new Happy Families feature that was released yesterday in Tor 0.4.9.5. All in all, it was extremely uncomplicated to set up, and maybe that can encourage more people to try it out sooner rather than later! 😎
Awesome to see more operators upgrading to #Tor 0.4.9.5, but also to see the number of Happy Families increasing! Over the weekend, the following has happened:
- We have gone from 185 to 952 unique relays uploading Happy Families keys. Of those, 104 are Happy Families only.
- Of the Directory Authorities, Babelmoo and Bastet joined Moria1 in running 0.4.9. We need consensus method 35 for HF to show up in microdescriptors.
The United Kingdom is escalating its censorship and mass surveillance. When Mullvad tried to criticise this with the TV ad “And Then?”, it was banned on British television.

Debian's official tagline is "Universal Operating System". It's more than just a tagline: it's a deeper concept that underpins the very nature of Debian as a project.
can’t wait for this to break a ton of mods. But it’ll be worth it I think. After all, with the recent de obfuscation it should surely be easy to fix them?
While not in game dev as a dev who's looked a bit into it (work does offer us copilot if we wish to use it)...it's worth noting this is likely to make some junk, some possibly really interesting games....but if no one actually checks it there will be a slew of some very insecure/inefficient games. AI can be a great tool for certain applications but it is limited to it's model learning and goes for make it work, not secure or efficient (without hounding it)
Standard.site provides shared lexicons for long-form publishing on AT Protocol. Making content easier to discover, index, and move across the ATmosphere.
instead of being defensive we could take this as an opportunity to see that there is a lack of communication on a bunch of fronts. The roll out of quote post support across the fediverse has been great to see but there are a lot of frustrations with it still and I think a lot more could be done in future standard upgrades with inter-project communication

My #nextcloud setup needs some rework. After seeing latest video from @nextcloud I am thinking about a new instance of my year-old current one. There is no real need, but I would like to clean up my installation with newest architecture and maybe start integrating talk what I missed all the times. What is the recommended installation method nowadays? AIO? Apache, mariadb, php vanilla? Any hints welcome. Its a two user and some guests install. Data privacy is highest requirement.
Most people probably think that the rainforest of central and west Africa, the second largest in the world, has been around for millions of years. However recent research suggests that it is mostly…
🔨 Luditas <distinto> tecnofobia: eran personas trabajadoras organizadas contra el despojo capitalista
Contra el mito de que rompían máquinas por miedo al progreso, los luditas del siglo XIX resistían un sistema que usaba la tecnología para destruir sus medios de vida. No era odio a las máquinas, era odio a las relaciones de poder que las máquinas imponían.
A menudo se tacha a los luditas ingleses de tecnófobos chiflados. En realidad, se trataba de un movimiento obrero premarxista que daba prioridad a las personas y a la naturaleza sobre la propiedad privada.
tengo bastantes dudas de que se pueda equiparar el avance técnico contra el que estaban los luditas con la amenaza de la IA. Lo primero al fin y al cabo liberaba de trabajos manuales penoso y eso puede ser bueno, lo segundo nos libera de pensar y eso se está demostrando que no es nada bueno.
se podría aplicar tb al uso de rrss privativas? cuando argumentamos como dañan el tejido socioafectivo, manipulan y degradan la salud mental de muchas personas, infinitas veces sacan la palabra tecnofobia o antidesarrollo para desacreditarlo... cuando solo señalamos como esa forma de usar la tecnologia se usa para favorecer el status quo y perpetuar violencias.. Por no hablar q considerar tecnologia solo a máquinas y lo occidental nos parece terriblemente colonial y patriarcal..
las (no tan adecuadamente llamadas) IA benefician enormemente de las estructuras que impulsaron anteriormente las redes sociales y estas tecnologías digitales anteriores, etc. Por eso para nosotres el elemento clave de la discusión estaría en las inequitativas relaciones de poder desde las que nacen y profundizan.
@ColectivoLoairas p. d.: de hecho muchas veces en los artículos o publicaciones que escribimos solemos llamar tecnologías digitales, justo con el ánimo de no invisibilizar las muchas otras formas de tecnologías existentes. Seguramente alguna vez lo omitimos y aún así se mantiene en la base de los que hacemos.
esto que compartió hace un tiempo @rvfeh como una campaña simbólica contra la IA me pareció muy interesante: quili.ai/
Yo lo vivo como un asalto existencial, contra el planeta y humanes. Además del impacto extractivista, ecológico y la alianza tecnofascista subyacente, todo el impacto cognitivo que genera, la idea de automatización, me genera absoluto rechazo. Y eso comparto con mis círculos.
Very sad to see how AI kills everything nice. But instead of murdering terminators, it is killing via some AI bros that want to boost their GitHub stats (or whatever the reason for their PRs is).
it's about time for them to limit PRs to humans-only and forbid the use of AI in either writing code or text.
let's be real, whoever wants to contribute will take an extra step to learn how the code works (or be open to it), instead of just submitting AI slop. they will be interested in writing things themselves, instead of using AI.
