@Linux_in_a_Bit @fsf @fsfe Yes, that's my point. Libre licensing *is* political. Remove that and it turns into just "no cost code". It's worth examining why nationalists focusing only on personal freedom has a negative connotation and how the same negative aspects apply to focusing solely on freedom software.

I see people who believe that the final stage of rest is restlessness and I'm here to tell you that this feeling is simply the first sign that resting has begun. Restlessness means that you're no longer dead fucking tired, not that you're rested. The feeling to look for is sustained calm. Most Americans don't have enough vacation to rest in this way.

The urge to hustle during rest is like the urge to itch a healing wound. It's a symptom that you've begun to heal, not that the wound is gone.

Adobe is buying Figma. If that's not a monopoly move then nothing is. Will the regulators even blink?

@Rasp Machinists would say that the lines are out of square. They need to tram their chocolate milling machine! 😉

Personally, I'm ding dang happy to see groups like Nextcloud offer no-fuss instances. Not everyone likes to self-host and it's better than everyone DDoSing that one big node.https://nextcloud.com/blog/no-need-to-trust-musk-we-go-federated-with-nextcloud-social/

@datatitian Yep. Obs lots of ways it could go wrong but I like the way that they're talking about it so far.

I wonder when the AI assistant pushers will figure out to shard the algorithm into multiple, topic specific agents who are rendered as not very bright animal friends. A creepy ladybot who's expert at nothing? No, thank you. A pack of dorky dogs and parrots who give me questionable but occasionally interesting advice, each on a single topic? Yes, please.

@simon @KevinMarks Ha! I love it. Sign me up as an alpha tester. I originally daydreamed about such a flock of animal advisors when I was working on a web browser for VR headsets. It was pretty clear that something like ChatGPT was coming and that it would have all of the flaws that it currently has so finding a way to embody those flaws in a transparent but useful way seemed important. Most importantly, they need to be obviously not human and a little dim.

The first poll to determine which retrocomputer I'll miniaturize next has eight hours left and it's a three way tie of one vote for each machine. 🤦♂️ My life is ridiculous.

I used to study a ton of late-night shows to learn the formulas (because, reasons) and I've watched all of Taylor Tomlinson's one hour specials. Folks, I am deeply excited to see what she gets up to in the slot after The Late Show. I hope they give her the reigns enough to break some talk show norms.https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-67296327

@aral Oh, yeah. The overflowing list of effects with no indication of which ones are basic utils. It's confusing when getting started. The folders you mentioned are 💪.

Groggy morning daydream: I wonder what percentage of my brain by mass is dedicated to being amazed by 4K remasters of films I originally watched on VHS. "Aliens", which just received its third (or forth?) remaster release, is now a radically different film, at least to me.
