@jswright61@ruby.socialI have a major new feature for Left Wordle. I am testing the ability to sync settings and game history between devices. This feature is very much beta at this time and everything is subject to change.
My goal is to get as many people testing this as possible to identify any bugs that might cause problems once released. If you have time, please give it a try. Instructions here:

@david@boles.xyzThe Avant-Garde Never Left: Robert Hughes Described the Revolution and Then Declared It Over
Robert Hughes wanted it both ways. In the final moments of "The Shock of the New," his landmark 1980 BBC series on modern art, he declared the avant-garde dead and then, in the same breath, described its beating heart. He told us that the radical project of art was finished, that the market had swallowed it whole, that the institutions had filed its teeth down to nothing.

Mastodon's the right model. But to be truly *useful* politcally - the Bluesky/Mastodonian idea of "we will make our safe space over here" might be pleasant for many and that's fine
But they're not healthy for useful political discourse, which is often ugly, but generates the necessary talk.
The discussions I'm seeing on Twitter/threads e.g. left v. liberal are finally getting "good." (among others)

@mxp@mastodon.acm.orgThis article has the merit of showing that academics don’t have to adopt genAI uncritically, but it treats the uncritical adoption as the default, portraying those that take a more reflective approach as “refusing to use generative AI.”
Shouldn’t the burden of proof be on the AI advocates? And shouldn’t academics’ arguments go beyond regurgitating the companies’ advertising and trite claims of “it’s the future, use it or you’ll get left behind”?

@cheryanne@aus.socialStill don't know what's happening with the wee one. There was a MEETING today but we haven't heard the results yet. I am leaving for Civic in an hour, and husband was planning to drop my friend and me off at the nearest Rapid bus stop before making his way north to pick up the wee one from preschool. Left a message at CYF explaining our movements and that we need to know what's been decided (if anything) but haven't heard anything yet. Interesting times.
@hex@kolektiva.socialOn the first day of the #PTSD intensive, we talked about the shooting. I had felt like I was done with that, that it didn't have anything left for me. But there was something still that filled me with rage... that is still confusing and enraging.
It wasn't actually being shot. I wasn't even the possibility of death. I had been prepared to die. I always knew that was possible. It was something else.
I remember Marc Hokoana's face as he pepper sprayed pacifists, smiling and taunting, joyfully hurting people who he knew were refusing to respond. I remember their flags, the kek flag, literally a Nazi battle flag replaced in 4chan colors with the clover 4chan logo instead of the swastika. How many people have been tortured, have died? How much suffering, that these people not only welcomed but celebrated, joyfully participated in.
The cruelty was the point. It was the plan, the plan he posted to Facebook, the same plan as they have always had, of torturing people until someone responds and then murdering them. Inflicting trauma, responding with overwhelming force, showing how "big and strong" they are because they can always escalate.
Try to stop someone from peppers praying people, they shoot you. Shoot back, like Michael Reinoehl, and they send a death squad for you. But we keep standing up, so they keep escalating to the slightest imagined infraction. Now they just murder you for being in a car, for filming at a protest, for existing.
The bar for what justifies murder or torture will continue to move lower until there is no one left, or until they can no longer escalate.
The feeling of helplessness is still not the biggest thing though. It's the joy with which they inflict this on us. That's it. That's the thing.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsKinda related to #Gentoo, so cool" or "they stopped using it, so sad". And I'm like, "why should we care?"
Do they donate money to Gentoo? They don't. And if they did, it would probably come with obligations making this not worth it.
Do they contribute back? Rarely, and if they do, they are unreliable. They benefit more than we do. They just want to dump the packages they need, quickly duct taped together, so that we would maintain them going forward. Their employees rarely reveal that they're paid to do this, and if they do, it's not so they'd be held to higher standards, but to emphasize their importance: "you must placate us."
Well, sometimes they hire Gentoo developers. It's nice that these developers get some gratification for their work, especially if they're able to continue contributing on work time. But in the end, company priorities win. We are either left with loads of new packages with no maintainer and unclear significance, or a Google employee who appeared every once in a while to dump a bunch of ChromeOS patches and never bothered handling the fallout.
So, sorry, but I'd rather care for volunteers who want to make Gentoo better, than companies who see some profit incentive in it.
PS. I'm probably focusing too much on the negative aspects, and we likely had some positive interactions that are far less known and usually don't meet with such fanfare.

The economy is #1 issue among 41% of the voters, followed by housing affordability at 20% and threats to democracy at 10%, with crime and immigration each at 6%.
