I know you’re getting a lot of text messages, and if you can read one more, I want to tell you why.
The latest polling shows me basically tied with Susan Collins.
-- But I’ve got to run this race like the odds are 99 to 1. 
Because Susan Collins has been building a warchest for 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴. 
She has billionaires, corporate PACs, and the entire national GOP willing to spend anything to keep her in office. 
We’re starting this race from way behind and with just 93 days …

Troy Jackson for U.S. Senate
Troy Jackson is ready to flip Maine's Senate seat and unseat Susan Collins once and for all. He's a fifth-generation logger from Allagash, a lifelong labor champion, and former Maine Senate President, who's proven he can win — by 20 points — in a district carried by both Susan Collins and Donald Trump.

RE: https://cosocial.ca/@mhoye/116686699570387780
I agree with this in very large part, although I want to be careful not to read it as dropping the responsibility on individual developers.
It’s perfectly fair to say, “I made something that might help people, so I’m sharing it, but I don’t have the capacity to support everyone who depends on it.” It’s also fair to say, “This thing would really help me, but I don’t have the capacity/ability to take on responsibility for its maintenance just so I can use it.”
No •individual• is in the wrong there. It’s a sign of broken systems and broken society that in such situations we so often cannot muster the collective capacity to support that kind of commons — the kind that exceeds the capacity of any individual maintainer — for the good of all of us.

I wrote this in a discussion where someone was posting anti-ebike stuff:
“I’m a cyclist who switched to an ebike last year due to health issues. As a bonus it also allowed me to bike to work. I ride as courteously as I did on my acoustic, maybe more so. It’s about the rider, their experience, and the respect they show others, more than it is the bike.”
This seems like it’s shaping up to be a rough summer for responsible ebike riders who read the comments.

In an article on #BBC I read “Of course, that is only anecdotal evidence, …” and the puzzling thing is that this kind of classification¹ is so rare in journalistic texts that it immediately caught my attention.

We casually crack open million-year-old fossils but stress about opening a bag of chips at a party.

Because we bet future tech won't learn more than we can right now. We bet progress slows from here.

Just thinking about the political discussion going on here these days... Seems to me we need better labels. 'Right' in English has the unfortunate connotation of 'correct', and 'Left' the connotation (but perhaps only among the better read) of 'sinister'... I think new terms without that baggage are required. I propose that the Left<->Right spectrum be replaced by the Nobel<->Ignoble spectrum, which is more objective accurate in any case.

Rezension zu "Platform Power and Libraries" (Christine F. Smith 2025, https://litwinbooks.com/books/platform-power-and-libraries/ &

Once a bunch of companies are firing people (perhaps for reasons they don't even understand), other companies will do the same because mass firings will be taken as an economic indicator. Partially, this is companies seeing other companies "tighten their belt," which smaller companies may read as an indication that larger companies are predicting an economic downturn, and because mass firings may *cause* an economic downturn.
It's easy for folks to jump from descriptions of how economic power works into conspiracy theories about economic control, but the simple fact is that it's often very easy to explain the way that small intentional manipulation by class conscious people can cascade into large emergent behaviors. This all happens without any centralized control.
That is *specifically* one of it's greatest strengths. It is not a coincidence that conspiracy theories would lead you to ignore this specific strength.

I’ve read that our memories are mutable things, that every time we remember a memory, what we recall will be different from what we remembered last time we remembered it. Just the way it works. It occurs to me that a cultural memory likely works the same way, maybe slower than before we invented writing, but still. Will digital speed it up or slow it down? Digital memory’s way easier to edit en masse than print memory.

I even bought some actual books printed on actual paper. Its a bit sad, but DRM these days is somewhere between hard and impossible to break, unless you own Amazon hardware, and the trees will just have to take it.
They also don't drain the battery.
I think I'm moving to paper in general. Mostly only reading in bed anyway.
Which is ironic, because I will definitely take the paper books to a charity shop when I have read them so they will be shared whereas if they gave me a DRM-free copy I could read with my open hardware I doubt anyone other than me would read it.

The classic metaphor for introductory computer graphics is the turtle -- the point on the screen is thought of as a turtle, and you tell the turtle to turn, move, and so on.

I pay for the Economist. Every time I want to read a new article in the Android app I have to swipe forward. Twice, once to skip over the ad page. Then I let the article sit on my screen for about 10 seconds ready to swipe back to it because the app navigates forward to another ad page. It does that twice, then I can read the article.
I think the underlying problem is I'm blocking their ad server via DNS. So those ad pages don't load and show up blank. And then they have some aggressive error handling to try to force the ad to load again if it failed the first time.
