From Cory Doctorow
"I'm not asking you to credulously accept Carney's conversion at face value. Rather, I'm asking that you celebrate the vision that Carney articulated while threatening to destroy his political life if he breaks his word. Let every politician know that there is glory in standing up for us – and let them know that betrayal will see them tossed overboard, to drown in our wake."
Another stupid MacOS 26 Tahoe change making my life harder. In Tahoe, several USB tools I use are broken. They call `system_profiler SPUSBDataType` internally to get USB info. In Tahoe that's gone, replaced by "SPUSBHostDataType", which returns not enough info.
If anyone has any tips on a built-in equivalent, let me know!

Posted 55 weeks ago, and always relevant. Especially on calls with three coaching clients today.
tl;dr—
Moods are always tangled with assessments (opinions/interpretations). When you want to shift (or nurture) a mood, you can examine the assessments associated with it… See if they’re grounded or not… See if their actions you can take about them or not.
In my experience that simple process reliably moves moods.

If you want me to write a document, please let me know what KIND of output you expect? What voice, what length, what level of detail, what audience. Ideally, give me something similar so I can infer these things.

Let me just start with Kharg Island.
We can put troops on there. We can air mobile them in. We could land them by boat.
I guess the comment I have about Kharg is, I’m not sure what the significance is of putting troops there.
It’s only about 20 miles off the coast of Iran. So you’re definitely under the threat of their weapon systems.
You’d be very, very vulnerable there.
And I don’t know that it would give us any particular tactical advantage that we don’t…
@karlailona@mastodon.social Ooh, same! vBulletin was my jam! The federation aspect really does make it feel like “a bunch of little forums”, but more convenient.
Also did some HTML and CSS in the past, before falling out of it, but then rediscovering the joys of programming as an adult!
If you ever need someone to learn Dutch with, let me know! (Finnish always seemed like such a daunting language to me… 😅)

My message to Gaggle Mail:
I just want to let you know that I decided not to continue evaluating your service after I noticed that you have a setting to use ChatGPT from OpenAI turned on by default.
Among many other things, OpenAI is Trump's biggest donor and used by ICE.
It is one of the most morally corrupt companies in operation today and it was hugely disappointing to me to see a company that embraced the classic listserv platform (yay!) also integrating the w…
Heading to #Vancouver tomorrow, with some availability from March 19th through 24th. Not sure if any of my old contacts/friends from the linux/hacker community happen to be located there thees days. If yes, and interested in meeting over coffee, lunch, dinner or just drinks, let me know.
If you are currently blogging I have two things to say to you.
1. Thank you! Keep it up!
2. Let me know the address of your blog!

I was once trapped in a public loo and thought I was going to die when its auto wash cycle started as I thought the whole room was sluiced, and mainly I thought how embarrassing it would be for my family to explain how I'd died. It was scary too, until the automatic lock opened and let me out. I'd love to say I was about seven when this happened but no, more like 47 😄 I once had to call the fire brigade when someone was trapped in a loo so y'know, form.

Let me know if you see me at #FOSDEM this year!
If you know people on social.cologne who aren’t Zionists/genocide supporters please let them know that they cannot see posts by me and others who oppose Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people as our instances and accounts are blocked by their Zionist/pro-genocide server.
I can only assume Zionist/pro-genocide servers will not be allowed according to mastodon.social’s new server covenant and suggested as safe spaces to newcomers to the fediverse (including Palestinians suff…
My wife works as a dispatcher at the county sheriffs station, so in addition to EMS and Fire she works closely with local law enforcement in a predominantly rural county.
I know how some of you here on Fedi feel about law enforcement officers. So let me talk a little bit about this group before going on, and why I respect them.
We were at an awards dinner for the sheriffs office a few weeks ago. One of the awards given to deputies is for saving a life. It can be any life - a susp…
If you create visualizations with #Python, what would be your 2026 choice?
I recently learnt that #seaborn which I liked hasn't had a release over a year (which is not necessarily bad, but their move to an object interface was not nearly completed and now it's stuck).

I can understand why it works for dead-tree media—the instantiation costs are much higher—but it’s always struck me as a particularly stupid business model online: “If you don’t pay us, then we’ll deny ourselves the advertising revenue you’d otherwise make us.”
And it’s not as if most paywalls are difficult to bypass anyway. https://
So I busted out an old laptop and installed headless ubuntu minimal (I like to start small) so that I can start setting up some autonomous agents. My first step was to install Claude Code so that it could setup everything else for me, but after a few hours at it, both Claude and I admit that Claude Code is broken on a headless install. We tried a bunch a different way to get it to take a damn key, but the installer insists on an OAUTH auth that requires a browser.
I have a dislike fo…
I'm not going to make it to emfcamp this year sadly, due to a date clash.. Will be there in '28!
I *will* be going to a UK live coding camp the weekend after though, let me know if you're interested.. It was masses of fun last year !

DAYNA: There's nothing else. We just don't want to go back, that's all. We're not criminals; we're not hiding. We stay here because we want to.
SERVALAN: You mustn't let me upset you. It's just that I'm fascinated by your life here. I'm so grateful to you. I don't know what I would have done without you up on the surface. You saved my life. And that's a debt I want to repay. So, [caresses Dayna's ch…
Also, I haven't yet added captioning. I'm planning to do that later today. Apologies for not posting it in a completely accessible way, thanks for your patience.
Edit:
Updated. It should be more accessible now.
I usually don't add images to my posts. I realized half way through that I had a bunch more to do. I kind of had to power through before I ran out of dopamine, or I'd never actually post it. Thank you for your patience. I'm working on setting up a good OCR pipeline to make this faster in the future.
Thanks again for your patience, and please feel free to let me know if there are ways I could improve for future posts.
They are doing their best to piss me off. I have location turned off. They don't need to know in any way where I am working from
Creating a new document and this popped up.
Get out of my way and let me work without the BS.
My rpi openwrt router is set up. If all works as intended I'll be surfing from my home IP address when @ my girlfriends house as it tunnels all trafic over tailscale to an exit node in my livingroom. That means.... that we can use my streaming services at her place without the provider is bugging me about another household. Well it's proof of concept right now so I'll let you know how it goes when it's installed at her place.
I agree with the wish expressed here, that this year will bring a reckoning to Trump and the other named. Let’s add Putin to that list, too.
But one thing that frightens me — I suspect there people in Trump’s circle who know that US voters are unlikely to turn on their own president in wartime, and one sure-fire way for an unpopular president to turn the tide is to lead the nation in a righteous battle against an obvious enemy.
It could be Venezuela, it could be Iran, it could be…
My dear friends here in the #running community - I have some sad news to share.
Our friend @… lost his father a few days ago on the 30th. He's given me his blessing to let everyone know.

There had been another Stephen Rees, in the UK, who had tried to use Gmail by using his ID as ReesStephen
I had got though to him somehow. Obviously not by using Gmail so that ID appeared to available to someone in Australia
Gmail ignores dots and spaces in ID names
If you live in Australia and know someone with the same name as me who has recently opened a Gmail account just let them know nothing is going to get through to him. Sorry!
