We also never achieved truly personal computing. Computers could've been personal knowledge bases, with structured semantic connections akin to HyperCard, that take advantage of the semantic web and open standards. (...) AI is not a triumph of elegant design, but a brute-force workaround."

@only_ohm@mas.toHaving off-site backups of your data is a good idea, they said. There exist cloud storage providers with open (NextCloud) standards, they said. Some have the servers located within the jurisdiction of GDPR, they said. You can encrypt on client-side with rclone to maintain privacy, they said. They didn't mention transferring my data over my ADSL uplink would take two months and slow my interactive internet use to a crawl in the meantime.

@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialHow popular media gets love wrong
Okay, my attempt at (hopefully widely-applicable) advice about relationships based on my mental "engineering" model and how it differs from the popular "fire" and "appeal" models:
1. If you're looking for a partner, don't focus too much on external qualities, but instead ask: "Do they respect me?" "Are they interested in active consent in all aspects of our relationship?" "Are they willing to commit a little now, and open to respectfully negotiating deeper commitment?" "Are they trustworthy, and willing to trust me?" Finding your partner attractive can come *from* trusting/appreciating/respecting them, rather than vice versa.
2. If you're looking for a partner, don't wait for infatuation to start before you try building a relationship. Don't wait to "fall in love;" if you "fall" into love you could just as easily "fall" out, but if you build up love, it won't be so easy to destroy. If you're feeling lonely and want a relationship, pick someone who seems interesting and receptive in your social circles and ask if they'd like to do something with you (doesn't have to be a date at first). *Pursue active consent* at each stage (if they're not interested; ask someone else, this will be easier if you're not already infatuated). If they're judging you by the standards in point 1, this is doubly important.
3. When building a relationship, try to synchronize your levels of commitment & trust even as you're trying to deepen them, or at least try to be honest and accepting when they need to be out-of-step. Say things and do things that show your partner the things (like trust, commitment, affection, etc.) that are important in your relationship, and ask them to do the same (or ideally you don't have to ask if they're conscious of this too). Do these things not as a chore or a transaction when your partner does them, but because they're the work of building the relationship that you value for its own sake (and because you value your partner for themselves too).
4. When facing big external challenges to your commitment to a relationship, like a move, ensure that your partner has an appropriate level of commitment too, but then don't undervalue the relationship relative to other things in life. Everyone is different, but *to me*, my committed relationship has been far more rewarding than e.g., a more "successful" career would have been. Of course worth noting here that non-men are taught by our society to undervalue their careers & other aspects of their life and sacrifice everything for their partners, which is toxic. I'm not saying "don't value other things" but especially for men, *do* value romantic relationships and be prepared to make decisions that prioritize them over other things, assuming a partner who is comfortable with that commitment and willing to reciprocate.
Okay, this thread is complete for now, until I think of something else that I've missed. I hope this advice is helpful in some way (or at least not harmful). Feel free to chime in if you've got different ideas...

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caDear Canadians supportive of #Palestine and against the ongoing #Genocide in Israel and the Humanitarian catastrophe that is ongoing.
There is a House of Commons e-Petition e-6751 currently open for signature.
It states:
Whereas:
Under Common Article 1 of the Geneva Conventions, Canada is required to respect international humanitarian law;
Under Article 59 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, Israel as an occupying power must allow and facilitate humanitarian aid by impartial organizations;
Canada’s own International Assistance Accountability Act requires that all Canadian foreign aid uphold human rights and international legal standards; and
Israel’s policy and actions violate all of these obligations.
We, the undersigned, Citizens and Residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to
1. Publicly and unequivocally reject the militarized aid model currently used in Palestine;
2. Request the full restoration of access for UN agencies and established humanitarian NGOs, including UNRWA and the World Food Programme;
3. Insist on safe and immediate entry for Canadian healthcare workers and other international humanitarian personnel to Palestine;
4. Withhold Canadian funding from any entity or model that does not comply with principles of neutrality, impartiality, independence, and humanity; and
5. Ensure that all Canadian aid to Gaza is delivered through internationally recognized humanitarian channels.
