time for the usual show of hands: who's going to #39C3 this year? :blahaj:

Momentum is building to tap more of Russia’s central bank reserves
— immobilized after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine
— to help fund Kyiv's war effort.
As the U.S. moved to wash its hands of Ukraine’s fate,
the gradual realization Russia’s war would not end any time soon
and that Kyiv would continue to need large amounts of external funding
has spurred European initiative to unlock the cash tied up in Russia’s frozen assets.

So in another dream I just woke up from, I was talking to someone about "the idea problem" (that it's becoming harder to monitize ideas, from a vox article written by an AI cooked reporter).
iheart.com/podcast/105-it-coul
Basically, I was arguing that the majority of inventions target men because patriarchy puts economic control in men's hands. As men have started to help more with childcare, there have been more inventions related to childcare. (I don't have any idea if this is true. Seems legit, but I'm just relating my dream. I think I was also oversimplifying a bit to "men" and "women" because of my audience, but anyway it was a dream.) There's actually more low-hanging fruit, I pointed out, related to making care work easier.
So I argued that the real problem was a failure to invest in research into solving that problem. Today there are all these boondoggles built around killing people. What if, instead of all this government research into killing people, we dumped a ton of money into making it easier to support a household? That would be great for the economy. (Being asleep, I seem to have forgotten that working people need money.)
In the blur of being just awake I started thinking about how you could kickstart the US economy by taking the money from the AI boondoggle and other autonomous murder bots and create something like a program to build robots for housekeepers. You'd still be funding tech with government money, so the same horrible people get paid, but you're now actually solving real problems. It wouldn't even matter if it was a boondoggle, honestly. Just dumping money into something other than murdering people is good enough.
I imagined first if there was a program to fund a robot housecleaner, like robot dog with AI some laundry pickup, that would be provided, free of charge, to help people with children. It would work the same as the military boondoggle where a private company makes the government buy a piece of hardware from them and then also pay them to service it for some number of years. But instead of that hardware sitting around waiting to kill someone, it would be getting brought to people's houses to help them.
Then I thought, hey, you could even boost the economy more if you just had government funding for doulas and housecleaners and paid them a living wage. Hey, you could really kickstart the economy by nationalizing healthcare and including doula support as part of all births. Oh, and you could also just include the optional household help for families with children until the kids turn 18.
None of this is perfect (I don't actually think most of this is possible from any state), but the point is that it's actually wildly easy to figure out all kinds of ways to invest in the economy and monitize ideas as long as you aren't entirely focused on the same old "make money from spying on people and killing them." Funny that. Like they said in the podcast, maybe "finding ideas" isn't the problem.
Hope you enjoyed the weird semi-awake brain dump/rant.

Me holding a felt bound stack of zine-like papers. In the background the kitchen table with more pieces of paper, scissors and my daughter’s hands folding paper.

In a tense meeting at the White House on Friday,
Trump tossed aside maps of the front line,
and urged Kyiv to concede its entire Donbas region to Russia to clinch a deal
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is rallying the support of his European partners
after the bruising meeting with Trump,
in which he was told to make concessions to end the war or risk facing destruction at the hands of Russia.

Of course I try to counter this — warning them up front about what a merge conflict looks like, helping them overcome their fear of asking for help, doing hands-on exercises with intentionally creating merge conflicts — but the fact “OMG DELETE EVERYTHING” could •ever• be a newcomer’s response to a minor merge conflict is a blaring klaxon of design failure.

Indirect CW for teen pregnancy, rape, death.
Just finished "Girls Like Us" by Randi Pink. Pink has a knack for telling stories that capture the grim but also vibrant nuances of African-American history. I previously read "Under the Heron's Light" which has more elements of magical realism and connects more directly to the history of enslavement; "Girls Like Us" is more historical fiction, with a bridge at the end to contemporary times (circa 2019, when the book was published). It tells the story of a disparate group of mostly-Black teens who are pregnant in 1972, and shows a range of different outcomes as varied as the backstories of the different girls. Rather than just separate vignettes, the girls' stories are women together into a single plot, and Pink is a expert at pulling us in to deeply contemplate all the complexities of these girls' lives, showing rather than telling us truths about the politics of teen pregnancy and abortion, and how even though the choices involved don't have simple answers, taking those choices out of the hands of the people they most intimately affect is cruel and deadly.

Whenever people are worried about criminals using #privacy-oriented software, I'm wondering who do they mean by "criminals"?
Let me point out that in some countries people verbally opposing the authoritarian regime are "criminals", while rapists become presidents. Or people peacefully protesting against genocide are "criminals", while nazis openly calling for violence are model citizens.
So yeah, if I were to develop such software, I'd rather have it used by "criminals". Because, guess what, true criminals will get their hands on that kind of software anyway.

Xiu Xiu: African Imperial Wizard is a middle aged white man. We had the extreme displeasure of playing with him last night not knowing who he was until he came back stage and, to our shock, took off his hood.
