This was definitely one of the most energetically received talks I've ever given
I talk about the technical and political challenges we're facing, why the current fediverse is not enough, but why there's hope, and why joy is essential to our success
"Oh, no - you don't understand. In these meetings, they're not talking about how to make things better, or more effective or turning out great products.
They're talking about their next Ferrari.
Oh, yes, they have Ferraris, but the conversation is always about the *next* one."

News about the NO KINGS! protest.
Millions across US turn out for ‘No Kings’ protests against Donald Trump
As tanks and soldiers paraded through the streets of Washington on Saturday, several million people around the country turned out to protest against the excesses of Donald Trump’s administration.
The protests, dubbed “No Kings”, rook place at about 2,100 sites nationwide, from big cities to small towns. A coalition of more than 100 groups joined together to plan the protests, which are committed to a principle of nonviolence...
No Kings organizers estimated the day’s events have drawn millions of people, with some hundreds still under way in all 50 states and to some cities abroad. These included over 200,000 in New York and over 100,000 in Philadelphia, plus some small towns with sizable crowds for their populations, including the town of Pentwater, Michigan, which saw 400 people join the protest in their 800-person town, the No Kings coalition said.

The video for Sting's song "If I ever lose my faith in you" includes imagery from the story The Arrogance of King Canute. This is a later version of a story that was about how wise the king was, but this version more potently expresses the hubris of many in power. In the story the king believes he can walk out into the ocean and command the tide to turn.

I love to read and every once in a while, I find a book that I cannot put down, no matter what is happening around me. For those of you who have ever been lucky enough to encounter this transcendent state of being, this drawing is for you! 😀 Imagine curled up in your favorite comfy chair, with a hot cup of tea and plate of delicious cookies nearby. All of your "friends" surround you and you have found that peaceful space, entranced with the story before you.

Genuinely curious about how people over here think, not going to judge.
A couple of years ago I read that Logseq was going to add some integration with OpenAI: Is the Logseq community (and the It's FOSS crowd now that I have you here) cool with OpenAI and/or the other big ones? or is there an anti-AI sentiment?
