Lately I’ve been thinking about quitting my job, not because I hate it or because the money really makes a difference, but because I’d rather spend my time on something simpler that keeps me active, something meaningless that just helps me feel less trapped than being bossed around all day for almost nothing.
And since I’m part of the welfare system now, it feels pointless to keep forcing myself into a routine that only measures people by profit, when all I want is to waste my time on …

When we dance, we go beyond thought, beyond mind and beyond our individuality to become one in the divine ecstasy of the union with the cosmic spirit. This is the essence of the trance dance experience.’ — Goa Gil.

A black and white image of a tree with no leaves stands out against a snowy winter landscape. The tree's bare branches reach out in all directions, creating a stark contrast against the white snow covering the ground. The scene is enveloped in a foggy mist, adding a mystical and serene atmosphere to the winter landscape. The image is devoid of color, emphasizing the monochromatic beauty of nature in its simplest form. The tree is the focal point of the image, its shape and form highlighted by t…

To work my mind, when body's work's expired:

Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Looking on darkness which the blind do see:

To my mind the following article suggests that the present day "AI" approach is very wrong.
Why? Because biological RI (Real Intelligence) out performs CI (Computer Intelligence) by orders of magnitude on many dimensions: power required (perhaps 20 to 50 watts for the human brain), weight, size, cooling, and ability to innovate in new ways.
Our present digital computer approach to intelligence seems about as apt as trying to power passenger airplanes using onboard coal…

Most won't be surprised that I said Cement. Yet, Biomethane is not what people usually have in mind. But bear with me, it makes a lot of sense.
CCS is a controversial topic to begin with. That has a lot to do with the fact that many see it - often rightfully so - as a delay strategy by the fossil fuel🛢️ industry.

"I need a dump truck, baby, to unload my head," Bob Dylan howls toward the middle of his epiphanic 1965 album, Highway 61 Revisited, shooting out of a ragged harmonica solo during the rollicking "From a Buick 6" to diagnose his own condition. At that moment, the twenty-something Dylan-the unofficial youth poet laureate of the United States, as well as the sneering voice of an emergent counterculture-had a lot on his mind, and perhaps more on his professional plate.

I’ve worked over the past year to reduce the amount of noise in my consciousness on a daily basis.
By that I mean - information noise, not literal sounds “noise”. (That problem was solved long ago by some good earplugs and noise canceling earphones.)
I’ve gotten used to spending less time on social media, regularly blocking most apps on my devices (anything with a feed news, most work communication apps, etc.), putting my phone and other devices aside for extended periods of time. Often go to work places with my iPad explicitly having its WiFi turned off and selecting cafes that don’t offer WiFi at all.
Negotiated better boundaries at work and in personal life where I exchange messages with people less often but try to make those interactions more meaningful, and people rarely expect me to respond to requests in less than 24 hours. Spent a lot of time setting up custom notification settings on all apps that would allow it, so I get fewer pings. With software, choosing fewer cloud-based options and using tools that are simple and require as few interruptions as possible.
Accustomed myself to lower-tech versions of doing things I like to do: reading on paper, writing by hand, drawing in physical sketchbooks, got a typewriter for typing without a screen. Choosing to call people on audio more, trying to make more of an effort to see people in person. Going to museums to look at art instead of browsing Pinterest. Defaulting to the library when looking for information.
I’m commenting on this now for two reasons:
1. I am pretty proud of myself for how much I’ve actually managed to reduce the constant stream of modern life esp. as a remote worker in tech!
2. Now that I’ve reached a breaking point of reducing enough noise that it’s NOTICEABLE - I am struck by the silence. I don’t know what to do with it. I don’t know how to navigate it and fill it. I made this space to be able to read and write and think more deeply - for now I feel stuck in limbo where I’m just reacquainting myself with the concept of having any space in my mind at all.

Hard losing the trust and closeness that once was.
Radicalization can ruin so much. We are all vulnerable to it.

So down the list I go. Those of you on Mac or that other O/S ("little&soft"?) won't understand, but I went through each of the various desktops, just to see, not expecting a lot given my hardware.
Well, Ubuntu on Wayland works now, but, egad, it is ugly. Gnome and its Classic look, well, almost the same. One of the others is just a blank screen, but remember, my machine was already broken.

Content warning: Getting into playing music as an adult ...?

I'm learning Clean Interviewing - skills of not letting your own biases shape the other person's answers - and I want to do an assessment thing to get a qualification in it, which means I need a few people to "practise on"!
Would anyone like to volunteer to be interviewed over Zoom for 20 mins or so? about their musical journey as an adult, or current wish for that?
I could pick _any_ topic, but I thought this would be a good theme to go with, because creating adult-learner music groups, or just encouraging people to have a go and enjoy it, are things I'm planning to do more of! So your thoughts and experiences along the way could feed in to better support for other people on similar paths :-)
For example,
•you could be just now resolving "I want to be playing music"
•you could've recently acquired an instrument or dusted one off, or joined a group or started looking into possibilities
•it could be you're playing regularly now.
Doesn't matter what kind of music!
And you could be starting fresh with pretty much no experience yet, or you could be coming back to music a bit "rusty" after leaving off in childhood.
(Or maybe you _did_ get into music as an adult, a while ago, and you'd be happy to think back about that. Or maybe you're someone who's supported _other_ people to get into music.)
Time zone considerations: I'm in England, so people on the America/Canada side of the world would probably need to be available in a morning or early afternoon.
I'd like to find at least one or two people who wouldn't mind their interview being recorded, so that I can pick one or more of the recordings to use for being assessed for the qualification. This would only be seen/heard by me and the people reviewing it - who'd be interested primarily in my interviewing-skills, rather than your actual answers :-)
Or, if you don't want to be recorded, I'd still potentially be up for one or two unrecorded ones, just as practice and for the interest of the topic.
Let me know if you might be up for it, or feel free to pass the info on to a friend!
Boosts appreciated :-)

So last week or so, gassing up, my car got the best “compliment” I’ve ever gotten, & TBH probably the best it is EVER going to get in my life.
A 7-8 yo kid basically lost their mind seeing it
It was just adorable & if it made their day like their mom said, so much the better - it sure made mine 😂

There's a small Japanese-French bakery in our hood run by a mother-daughter team (the best bakery in Toronto, IMHO). Everything they sell is mind-blowing. The milk bread may be my fav, though their French translation (pain de mie) entirely fails to give it the credit it deserves. Their milk bread is to even the best sandwich bread what handmade Swiss chocolate is to Hershey's.

My guess here at a distance is that it’s a terrible mistake to think of “Harvard” as a single anthropomorphic entity with a single mind. There are surely terrible internal battles raging at Harvard right now: between those who think it’s truly for education and those who think it’s truly for ROI, between those protecting the dollars and those protecting the brand reputation, between those cowering at the short-term financial risk of angering an authoritarian and those who see the long-term risks of capitulating.
What does “Harvard” think? Harvard is a bunch of different people. I wish them luck, and wisdom. Heaven knows they’ll need it.

self esteem issues are the mind-killer. self esteem issues are the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my self esteem issues. I will permit them to pass over me and through me. and when they have gone past I will turn the inner eye to see their path. where the self esteem issues have gone there will be nothing. only I will remain. and hopefully i'll be cute

Currently reading @… 's iOS26 review and... he's changing my mind. So far I think the visual changes are actually very attractive; it's almost like iOS 7 and flat design were a detour, and this is more like an extrapolation of iOS 6, but from the future

Well I didn't expect my mother to be fixated on the idea that people think she's gay when I went to the hospital today 😄 I have a horrible feeling that as her mind succumbs to #MSA she's having boarding school flashbacks. While I can see the funny side of reassuring my mother that no-one thinks she's gay but that it wouldn't matter if she was, it's cruel if those days she's…

Btw I don’t care how much Apple charges for cases, you don’t need to buy them and there’s plenty of cheaper options.
What’s blowing my mind is that you can buy a brand-name wireless optical mouse for less than $10 delivered.

Still blows my mind that in Germany (and some other European countries) it’s mandatory to put an imprint with your actual address on your personal website. So basically doxing by default, unless you pay a provider to hide behind a proxy address to forward legal letters.*
* There are exemption for private, non-commercial sites but that boils down to .htaccess protection. Anything else is not considered private or non-commercial in legal practice.

“My conscious mind goes blank. I feel nothing, I hear nothing, my eyes watch the puck, my body moves–like a goalie moves, like I move; I don’t tell it to move or how to move or where, I don’t know it’s moving, I don’t feel it move–yet it moves. And when my eyes watch the puck, I see things I don’t know I’m seeing.”

In line with my longtime pet issue of cascading #SystemicFailure in complex systems which we've created and come to depend upon, yet have seemingly forgotten how to maintain.
We saw a hint of what's possible in the early years of Covid when shortages rolled across the economy in unpredictable ways. I fear what might happen as the Fash keep dismantling all forms of systemic in…

Basically, someone I know in real life, is blatantly pretending and lying, attempting to trick my mind into believing that anarcho-syndicalism is the same thing as authoritarianism. The absurdity of this conflation is laughable.
Anarcho-syndicalism fundamentally opposes authoritarian structures by advocating for decentralized, worker-controlled organizations and direct democracy, whereas authoritarianism centers on concentrated, top-down control and coercive power.
The attempt to…

@… The important detail to keep in mind, in my opinion, is that it’s a large statistical model.
Answers you get aren’t “known” but rather “likely” based on the text trained upon.
That’s a really important nuance for anything fact based.

I’ve been getting beta reader feedback on my #novel and it’s the most magical thing hearing how other people have formed their own relationships to and feelings towards my characters.
I made up these characters in my own mind, they didn’t exist a few months ago, and now they are real to not just me but other living, breathing humans.
Artistic creation feels like one of the closest ways we have of approaching a sense of something almost divine.

After yesterday's encryption shizzle on my beloved Slackware, I'm happy to report FreeBSD 15 installed in under 15 minutes.
Providing all required encryption ootb, in a straightforward install process.
River window manager and all other related applications, on Wayland, are working perfectly fine.
One issue remains though: I had exactly this setup up and running two days ago.

I don't want any of those to be illegal but I always keep in my mind the fact that the overwhelming majority of wagering opportunities/solicitations come from profitable businesses whose core business is making winning wagers with people whose lesser knowledge and resources put them at deep disadvantages.
I'm not big on wagering...
