In unserem CLTiergarten dürfen wir in diesem Jahr ein paar Neuankömmlinge begrüßen. Ein paar Plüsch-Mastodons haben sich auf den Weg zu den #CLT2026 gemacht und warten hier auf ein neues Zuhause. Also wenn ihr schnell seid....

Well Valve is one of the few companies willing to battle copyright trolls instead of settling (the Rothschild case comes to mind), so they might have gone for the wrong target this time.
"I had indeed wondered how Coleridge could have put so man vivid descriptions of ocean life into his 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner,' given with all the appearance of first-hand knowledge, when the only voyage he had ever made, apart from the trip across the channel, was from Italy to Malta. The answer has been given to us in that remarkable study, almost a detective story, The Road to Xanadu, by John Livingston Lowes...as a subtitle 'A Study in the Ways of Imagination.' With the insight of a Sherlock Holmes, he traces the source of nearly all these descriptive passages. By consulting the old records of the Bristol Library, he was actually able to find out the books borrowed by Coleridge at the very time he was writing 'The Ancient Mariner' and showed that he had read the accounts of many of the voyages of the time, either in separate books or in some of the descriptions given in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society."

This note is really interesting to me, as an artist using this book as a source of reference material for an artwork about, in part, Hardy's creation of methods to analyse plankton populations. I am also using the library to consult a first-hand report, along with other materials, although I do also hope to collect some plankton in a bay and am working with data scientists and laboratories. I wonder if Coleridge did too.
Are you an avid lover of #Nutella and other spreadable butters and #margarines? Consider that many popular brands come tarnished with dirty #palmoil. Why is palm oil dirty? It has destroyed million…
Sadly, the largest 'sustainable palm' oil certificate (RSPO certifies currently about 20% of the world's palm oil) is a greenwashing initiative heavily influenced by the industry.
@earthworm @leviticoh @paoloredaelli @GinevraCat @connynasch Thanks for this Earthworm - very true. Hey is your account related to the new sustainability initiative for palm oil also called Earthworm, or is this just your moniker/chosen handle? Thank you
My friend Аня Мамотюк is a super talented artist who strings intricate beadwork by hand, carves wooden sculptures with chainsaws, and paints the most beautiful paintings. Seeing her wonderful art online is how I started following her so long ago, and I figured it was long past time I finally purchased a Mamotiuk original for my home.

I've been gushing about my friend Anna for a few months now, and for my birthday, she's letting me share this video starring her on my #PeerTube!!!
She's the most talented artist I know and way too humble to brag, so I'm doing it for her! Please go say nice things in the comments so that she'll maybe want to do this again 👉👈

@Gargron Thank you so much!!! My birthday was actually on the 1st, I just dragged my feet on editing this cause I was lowkey embarrassed by how dumb I look 😅

I couldn't find any, so please enjoy the sounds of this Mac Plus booting from the internal floppy drive I made. Sound on!

You used to be able to hear a computer do work. Hard drive noise meant it's busy reading or writing files, fan noise meant the CPU load is high. My modern MacBook is just silent 99% of the time. I had to put gauges into the menu bar so I could see how busy it is.
as a developer in Brazil another reason to get off this hellhole. Im now afraid of contributing to OSS because I can be fined or arrested for writing code... Yay. And yep, nobody is talking about that here bc this country is hell.
As many other laws here, this one is as vague as you can expect and encompass anything and everything... Not just OS and AppStores.
Glad that the BSD world is taking a strong stance against these stupid laws.
I'll never welcome this kind of government overreach, it doesn't matter if its from a conservative who pushes this to protect Christian values from pornography or from a "progressive" who believes to know what's best for you or your kids mental health.
The search for life on Earth is speeding up, not slowing down. Scientists are now identifying more than 16,000 new species each year, revealing far more biodiversity than expected across animals, plants, fungi, and beyond.
I believe that so many people have been badly treated by our society that they are essentially feral. I love watching stories about feral animals who with sufficient love and care become whole and healthy creatures, enjoying life and interacting with others. I believe we could be doing the same thing for human beings. Give them (not sell them) a home, sufficient food, health care, and the help of compassionate people, then watch many of them flourish!
@Gargron Doctorow's whole deal for decades has been about interoperability. one major talking point was people being able to move their social media accounts wherever they want and/or using a service that allows accounts from different media companies to see and follow each other. he has specifically mentioned blue sky as not allowing that and that's why he isn't there. he made an account on 3/6. bluesky had changed nothing about how they operate. so what changed?
@Gargron he also admitted to using LLM/AI to do management on his blog. when he could've, I don't know, paid a human to do that? it's becoming obvious he has changed his mind on previous convictions without simply saying "i've changed my mind". the blog post about LLM/AI usage was all about (paraphrasing) how awesome it worked for him and wasn't that amazing? this was the same few days when it was revealed that bluesky devs admitted to using Claude for coding. coincidence? maybe?
Yes, ultimately it's up to the receiver to figure out how the file type is to be handled. For example, GIFs are converted to MP4 files without sound in Mastodon. Is that an Image or a Video? I'm not sure you'd gain anything from specifying this on the protocol level.
Strict global rainforest laws like #EUDR, enforcement of anti #poaching units, and a consumer boycott of #palmoil, hold the key to protecting #Sumatra’s last living #tigers.
In October 2025, comedian Chris Gethard guest-hosted Going Down, a leftist political-satire public-access show. He used this opportunity in front of the show’s audience of young creatives to discuss the death of the middle-class comedian and how giant companies have bastardized the concept of DIY to exploit artists. “Artists should not have DIY ethics used against them, where they have to choose between betting on their own art and maybe owning a house someday,” he said. “You shouldn’t have to choose between your dreams and the so-called American Dream.” He added that this reality has seeped into stand-up and will soon spread to all creative and media professionals.
Gethard’s argument contrasted the current moment to where comedy was 15 to even five years ago, a period generally considered the Second
In October 2025, comedian Chris Gethard guest-hosted Going Down, a leftist political-satire public-access show.

Gethard’s argument contrasted the current moment to where comedy was 15 to even five years ago, a period generally considered the Second Comedy Boom in which the internet offered many comedians opportunities to get noticed, build active fan bases, get jobs, and make money. And while the current era of short-form video social media has been a boon for a number of comedians, it’s starting to prove increasingly unsustainable, especially when mixed with Hollywood’s post-streaming-boom, post-strikes era. On this week’s episode of Good One, Gethard — whose latest special, A Father and the Sun, debuted this past September — expounds on these ideas by outlining what pursuing a creative career used to look like, where things went wrong, and where artists must go from here. Listen to the full conversation here.
🔒 Cuando la privacidad no importa, hablemos de seguridad colectiva
La privacidad ya no es un valor individual que movilice, pero la SEGURIDAD sí: cognitiva, económica, física... Con Trump, Meloni y el tecnofascismo avanzando, los datos de activistas son armas. La respuesta no es épica tecno-individual sino colectiva, feminista, holística.
The results of our planting weekend! We're turning an old stock tank into a sort of aquatic plant zone, so there was also much pushing-around of things to plan out the layout in there. Many of these guys will be in a ring around it.
On Saturday evening, we had to say a sudden goodbye to our dog Buba. It was completely unexpected. She was my best friend, my favorite photo model, my muse.. my heart is broken... Rest in peace, my little girl * Buba K. 2013-2026*
