It honestly can't be said enough about how important #libraries are. In today's world, they truly sound utopian.A place where you can go for free, to gain knowledge? To get access to services? Without someone trying to make money off of you? Wild! If you don't already have a library card, go get yourself one this week. And if/when you do, check out what services your local library offers. Community events, borrowing of musical instruments, free access to newspapers and magazines.

"For many library workers, the material consequences of unchecked capitalism are the stuff of everyday life. Often we are the only indoor public space in our communities and provide the only accessible public bathroom.We provide broadband internet to people who can’t access it otherwise, and assistance with the email addresses and online forms required to access public welfare programs. Extreme poverty, unaddressed mental illness, the opioid crisis — all of it walks through our doors and makes itself at home."https://inthesetimes.com/article/public-libraries-are-commons-in-america#libraries

And instead of asking ChatGPT, you can literally just ask a librarian!https://ask.loc.gov/faq/420132https://www.bklynlibrary.org/balhttps://library.nyu.edu/ask/https://www.njstatelib.org/research_library/ask_a_librarian/#librarians #libraries

"We want to hear from you. What brings you library joy? Show us with your original creative work: a drawing, painting, poem, essay, photo, video, song, comic panel—you get the idea."https://www.ala.org/conferencesevents/celebrationweeks/natlibraryweek#NationalLibraryWeek

I do wonder if this is connected to the recent Bluesky outage.https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/17/its-not-just-you-bluesky-is-sorta-down/A bit hard to find more detailed information that's also reliable, but from https://www.securityweek.com/bluesky-disrupted-by-sophisticated-ddos-attack/:"A hacker group called 313 Team took credit for taking down the social media service, but their claims have not been independently verified."#security #infosec #bluesky #DDoS

I just finished working on my first ATProto/Atmosphere/Bluesky app!No, really. It helps you find your friends who have joined the fediverse.Might be worth sharing with your friends!https://friends.jointhefediverse.net#fediverse

So there was an interesting conversation over on Bluesky the other dayTLDR is that a member of the Bluesky team who runs some popular feeds or labelers or whatever subscribed to an "Anti-AI" blocklist, and people who have been added to it got all blocked (300k of them, I think?) and lost access to those feeds/labelers/whatever.

Some have responded that this is all fair, nobody owes us free labor, etc. Definitely agree with that. Some countered that these blocklists are problematic and people often end up on them without really belonging there.Also a fair point.

Anyway.This is just an opportunity for me to say that one perk of running a server full of bots that are followed by 10.7k+ people from 1.3k servers is that if you're eg. not cool with my trans homies, you can say goodbye to live views from the South Pole and such.With me, you always have a choice!

I like this framing."[...] what I mean by “art is easy” is that art is natural. So much of being an artist is paying attention and being attuned to what is already happening materially and socially.[...]It’s not easy if you’re judging yourself and putting pressure on yourself and having a certain expectation of what the outcome is. Then it’s impossible."https://thecreativeindependent.com/people/artist-hannah-tishkoff-on-why-art-is-easy/#art #artists #interview

And this ties into how some people insist that they need to use "AI" or LLMs to make art.You don't. You just make the art that comes to you naturally, not someone else's art.https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/116114769547580581#art #artists #AI #LLMsRT: https://stefanbohacek.online/users/stefan/statuses/116114769547580581
