"Withdrawal and indifference don’t need to be encouraged in a post-digital consumer world. That is what is supplied to us by default. Intensity and difference need to be encouraged—genuine striving and passion. The courage to love fragile transient things, to form deep attachments and let them sculpt and wound you. Desire for stasis and placation is the default. Desire for something more meaningful is the relatively unsung alternative. "https://sashachapin.substack.com/p/five-mildly-anti-buddhist-essays

This by @pluralistic is *so good*2023 capitalism not as late-stage capitalism, but straight-up feudalismhttps://pluralistic.net/2023/07/24/rent-to-pwn/#kitt-is-a-demon(Graeber touched on that in Bullshit Jobs from a different angle; computers didn't cause mass unemployment because these 'extra' jobs were swallowed up into 'status symbols' needed by feudalist managers to symbolise their power)

I'm going to do some science outreach in my son's primary school, and I've received the most wonderful advice: 'when they start speaking, first ask them if it's a story or a question. if it's a story, make sure to cut them off early or they'll talk forever.'*it works exactly the same with senior academics after presentations*

Looking around for something to better teach the Linux command line. I found bashcrawl, a dungeon-crawler that works on the command line! Every room is a directory, scrolls are textfiles, and your inventory is kept in environment variables. Such a cool idea!https://gitlab.com/slackermedia/bashcrawl

@ZachWeinersmith same for cockchafer soup! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockchafer_soup about 30 bugs per serving. The German wikipedia article talks about raw cockchafer bugs being a popular student snack from an 1844 quote.Especially interesting now that insect protein is coming back

Open source is aging out:'the percentage of [OSS] maintainers self-reporting that they are 46–55 or 56–65 has doubled since our first survey in 2021 (2021: 11 percent; 2023: 27 percent; 2024: 21 percent). Meanwhile, the percentage of maintainers under 26 has dropped precipitously from 25 percent in our 2021 survey to 12 percent last year and 10 percent today."'https://www.theregister.com/2024/09/18/open_source_maintainers_underpaid/who can blame them?
