Hey Mastodon, can you please help me out here?
Which is the best *free tool* to organise a community of school parents in Italy?
For now they consider a GoogleDoc for documentation (just 4-5 pages for now) a Facebook page (to organise the discussions in threads). I'd like to propose a free alternative
People involved could be 10-30. There should be some sort of collaborative document management (like a wiki), and ideally a space for discussion (like a forum).

AI generated pages explaining things, that cite other AI generated pages that just hallucinated details. Web's unusable.

Just finished "The Raven Boys," a graphic novel adaptation of a novel by Maggie Stiefvater (adaptation written by Stephanie Williams and illustrated by Sas Milledge).
I haven't read the original novel, and because of that, this version felt way too dense, having to fit huge amounts of important details into not enough pages. The illustrations are gorgeous and the writing is fine; the setting and plot have some pretty interesting aspects... It's just too hard to follow a lot of the threads, or things we're supposed to care about aren't given the time/space to feel important.
The other thing that I didn't like: one of the central characters is rich, and we see this reflected in several ways, but we're clearly expected to ignore/excuse the class differences within the cast because he's a good guy. At this point in my life, I'm simply no longer interested in stories about good rich guys very much. It's become clear to me how in real life, we constantly get the perspectives of the rich, and rarely if ever hear the perspectives of the poor (same applies across racial and gender gradients, among others). Why then in fiction should I get more of the same, spending my mental bandwidth building empathy for yet another dilettante who somehow has a heart of gold? I'm tired of that.

"Should organisations put 'share on twitter' links in their pages?"
I have been of the opinion, for many years, that sharing should be a function of the browser, not the website. Sharing links embedded in pages are as much advertising for social platforms as they are functional.
Should UK government websites be advertising Twitter? No, but I don't think they should be advertising, say, Facebook or LinkedIn either.

I watched the 1st meeting day of RFK Jr’s handpicked committee of vaccine advisors. It was utterly depressing.

Just read two quite intense novels back to back, and was feeling a bit at sea about what to read next. My TBR pile was not enticing me.
So I got out my 30 yr old copy of Neuromancer, because it's always right!

"Spoiler alert: unless there happens to be some breakthrough in physics that will drive more gigahertz to our CPUs, more crypto to those GPUs, more watts to our batteries, and more money to cloud providers, we most probably will not see any difference between the computer you are using today and the one you will receive as a gift in Christmas 2033. Get used to this fact."

The pages of this magazine have often orbited around the subject of retrocomputing. Take, for example, the editions about sustainability, computer museums, hardware, hobbies, gaming, operating systems, or the one about BASIC published last summer. If you pay attention, you most probably have realized how much retrocomputing has grown in popularity in the past few decades, with more and more people learning on YouTube or TikTok how to replace the batteries or leaking capacitors from the motherbo…

I am 172 pages into "Legacy of Ashes - The History of the CIA" by Tim Weiner, and if I read an account of a fictional intelligence agency this corrupt and this incompetent I would dismiss it as impossibly unrealistic.

@… Thanks for chasing that down! I would humbly suggest this might be useful information to have on the donation / membership pages in the future.

- la disparition des pages Facebook "Gen Z Madagascar" et "Madagascar Aviation",
- l'apparition de dizaines de fausses pages Gen Z,

Malgré cela, convaincre de ne pas utiliser exclusivement les grands réseaux sociaux mainstream comme moyen de diffusion des informations reste un défi.
La sécurité minimum est d'avoir au moins un site (non en jachère !…

Is irony dead? USDA pages are displaying a banner saying Trump "wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people" while Trump lets a billionaire buy the US military.
While the administration is preventing the SNAP program from tapping into contingency funds to feed people while the government is shut down.
This donation and the decision to prevent SNAP from operating are an end-run around the Congress' power of the pur…

Are there any librarians or bibliophiles out there who can tell me what the best glue is to use to reattach these loose pages to the spine? 🙏🏻 (book is 30 yrs old & often reread)

"So here is what we should all be doing instead: embracing the Big Ball of Mud. Let us be honest; in an age where mental health concerns are finally gone mainstream, I find accepting such truth after 25 years a deliverance for the software engineer in me. Our projects are like hourglasses glued to a table, so we should just breathe."

Goodness Gracious, Great Balls Of Mud!
On June 25th, 1999, Brian Foote published a seminal article that became, for a short while, one of the most commented pages of the early Internet, at least by struggling software developers and prospective architects. Such was the impact that it "was twice featured in Slashdot" (kids: that is the 1999 equivalent of "this article hit the homepage of Hacker News"). After almost exactly 25 years since that publication, one question still lingers: when are we going to accept defeat?

Our mortgage renewal was quite simple this time. I have been working with the mortgage broker for a couple of years and is quite good and friendly.
Online call, go over the documents and terms. Electronic signature and download of the paperwork. From start to finish maybe 30 minutes.
Being paranoid I made a physical print of the pages.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.
Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI.
After finding the document in the trove, I called her.
She broke down in tears.
“I’ve waited 30 years. I…
