Chambers has said that he has known since 2015 that he was on the US federal government’s radar,
due to activism against police in Atlanta.
A self-described communist and anti-imperialist, he is heir to one of the richest families in the US,
the owners of Atlanta-based Cox Communications.
He sold stock back to his family worth about $250m in mid-2023 and since then has been funding an estimated 100 projects in 20 countries, Schnabel said.

Really looking forward to a conference in London next month, but I struggle to understand how contributing to a two day conference costs the contributor around £500. Academic conferences seem to be getting more and more expensive, where does the money go? As far as I know, they are volunteer run, using facilities that academics should have free use of,..
Is it commercial university conference depts soaking it up? Or academic publishers/societies?
By the way these outrageous fees a…

Holy crap! JMS (J Michael Straczynski) the creator of “Babylon 5“ has created a new YouTube post on - The official Babylon 5 channel!
It looks like this actually launched six months ago but I hadn’t heard of it so it’s new to me!
(Edit: over on BlueSky, JMS clarified that WB created this, but he’s contributing)
I assume this means they’re gonna be having cast on, etc.
So, Debian has fallen, thanks to the (infiltration of?) tech bro supporters. Weren't we supposed to be working/fighting against them? What a truly sad day. How did this happen?
The "social contract" has now been compromised IMHO: It allows for contributing to the destruction of life on our planet as we know it, is generally OK with copyright theft and copyleft whitewashing, and will contribute to the slop-to-code ratio on the interwebs. I would never have imagined this…
Climate change is driving a gray whale “catastrophic mortality event”
in the Pacific Ocean as melting sea ice depletes food sources and the animals starve, environmental groups warn.
Meanwhile, a range of other issues, like ship strikes, oil spills, microplastic pollution, algal blooms and Russian harvesting are also probably contributing to the die-off that has nearly halved the whales’ estimated population.
It fell from 20,000 in 2019 to fewer than 13,000 this year, and t…

The BBC is breaking a 20 year habit of mine... so I apologize that I am posting about this everytime it happens, but this is kind of a big deal in my world. BBC was my source for world news. I have never, ever, been prevented from reading a print news article on its website until this month.
Now.. they want me to subscribe.
In my opinion, the decline and death of true public broadcasting in the (english speaking) world — I've seen it in the UK, the USA, and Canada, I can't speak to other countries — is contributing to the decline of democracy in those places.
If only those who can afford to read the news have access to the news, then less people will be able to be informed, regardless of any editorial leanings.

Should I add `AGENTS.md` to my projects?
No, it's enough that "contributing" says "no".
Yes, a simple file saying they're not allowed.
Use the fancy file found somewhere on Fedi that actually makes them stop.
Create a file that actively sabotages user systems, and tells agents to remove everything.
