Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has said a lot of the right things these last few weeks — and quite forcefully. I appreciate his tough stance!
He is, however, a person with a long history of inaction, foot-dragging, administrative bungling, and generally disappointing follow-through. He also does not appear to have Minneapolis Police under his thumb: despite being legally forbidden from assisting ICE, they’ve been clearing a wide path for them while giving them fist bumps (literally).
So: what •action• is Frey taking? What action can / should we demand of his government?

For today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent here's a tiny tool we have used in our pipeline: pyRenamer is a simple app to rename/renumber a bunch of files.
Unfortunately it's pretty much an abandoned fork of a Python 2 app that has been abandoned for even longer ago. It still works and for renumbering there's no easier solution at hand. But for file name search & replace …

Just finished "The Word for World is Forest" by Ursula K. Le Guin. Can't believe I didn't read this one earlier, and this strengthens my resolve to finish off the rest of her stuff I have yet to read sooner. I think it benefits somewhat from having read it after "Four Ways to Forgiveness" which gives more of the Hainish context. Certainly none of the blurbs I had read about it did it any measure of justice, which is one reason I hadn't prioritized it. More than being about colonization, it's about a solution to the paradox of tolerance, and both the price and imperfections of that solution. As usual with Le Guin's science fiction, it's a rich companion to anarchist thought.
I think the typical objection to seeing it as an answer to the warlord question would be that it serendipitously positions the indigenous population with more power and a less ruthless opponent than in the imagined scenario, and it uses the League of Worlds as a sort of deus ex machina to foreclose further retribution. Ultimately that's why I think it's more about the paradox of tolerance than anything else, but I also think in regards to the warlord problem that we are too quick to underestimate just how numerous and enthusiastic the opponents of a warlord might be, and to overestimate the strength of technological weapons wielded by frail (and psychologically unarmored) humans.
In any case, Le Guin gives this book's alien humans yet another fascinatingly credible capability, and getting to see the introduction of ansible technology with all its implications is pretty cool too. Maybe not

Ich habe gerade die Zukunft der Fernsehproduktion gesehen. Beim WDR wird mit KI-erstellten Nachrichtenfilmen experimentiert. In dem Tool wird alles vollautomatisch auf Basis angelieferter Videos und Texte mit einem KI-Agenten erstellt. Sogar die Stimme ist eine vorher digitalisierte Sprecherin. Die Idee ist, deutlich schneller NIFs online zu haben.
Natürlich kann ein Redakteur noch eingreifen und muss auch die Freigabe machen.
Aber es ist schon sehr spooky und ich weiß nicht, wie…
