Interesting proposal from Australia: 'The federal government's proposed digital duty of care could let Australians opt in or out of algorithmically recommended social media content.' https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09-08/labour…

Australians could get the power to switch off social media algorithms
Labor wants to make social media platforms proactively reduce foreseeable harms while giving users control over whether algorithms shape their feeds. 

Time and Self are inextricably linked
In Search of Now, by Jo Marchant
P.188-9
What, when, where, why, and how is “Now” a thing?
I’ve thought and read a lot about how our minds work, what they are, why they’re necessary, are they necessary? And still Marchant manages to explode my understanding of it all. #recommended

In the Netherlands, petrol is relatively expensive (due to taxes). But media often report on the 'recommended price' by Shell c.s., which is way above the average sales price.
Today, that is €2.61, while in real life, people pay an average of €2.33.
It's not because it's hard to find the average.

The fact that the authors (SIEMENS) sell DSO control systems is unlikely to help the substantive quality of the recommendations.

The Uptake of Preregistration, and Its Impact on the Proportion of Supported Hypotheses, in Sports Science - Sports Medicine
Background The proportion of studies with results supporting their hypotheses has been implausibly high in sports science, suggesting the widespread presence of questionable research practices (QRPs). Preregistration is recommended to mitigate QRPs. Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the uptake of preregistration in sports science journals, and its association with the proportion of supported hypotheses. The influence of journal quartile on these factors was also examined. Differe…

While I generally do not listen to political speeches, an English friend recommended listen to Andy Burnham's speech at the Labour Party Conference. WOW!
Clearly articulated the problems, linked to plans to address them - credible plans, not marketing promises.
I wish the "moderate", "centrist" Democrats would listen and learn from this.

MX was recommended, but since it was previously running Mint, I went with the #LinuxMint, no issues withe Live CD, and so far, no cursor or suspend issues!

Time for another book on my #Bookstodon: "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents" by Isabel Wilkerson. I'm pretty sure I've read it because someone recommended it on Fedi, and it's a good recommendation. However, note it's a bit on the emotionally heavy side.
The book is built upon a thesis that the racism in the USA is actually a caste system. It covers a lot: the history from slavery through Jim Crow regime to today's white supremacist movements and US elections; comparisons to India and Nazi Germany; detailed analysis of causes ("pillars of caste") and consequences. As it turns out, these can be pretty detrimental to the dominant caste itself too. All of it is illustrated by many examples and personal stories.
It's an important read, and it reads really good though. However, it weighs heavily, so I had to take breaks while reading it.

Mercator gets the relative areas of regions at different latitudes 'wrong' but their shapes locally right: Africa in particular looks like it actually does (check it out in Meteosat and DSCOVR images ... or by looking at a globe from a distance). In the UN-'recommended' projection it is markedly distorted, however: how this is supposed to make Africans happy is beyond my understanding.

my Social app installation in #Nextcloud is giving a strange error:
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://nextcloudpi/push/ws.
My config defines a proxy for ws:// and the notify_push:self-test checks ok as does systemctl status, but a grep of the app/social code shows js mentions of wss:// - I also notice the dashboard also logs these errors, likely because Social is active? or because my systemd adds --allow-self-signed?
I tried modifying the ProxyPass to wss: to no avail, double checked installed modules and the reqs from the notify_push git page. I did find mention that wss is the secure version, only recommended where NC and NP are on different machines, which they are not.
maybe it is benign? My only symptom so far is nothing goes out, and nothing comes in to @… and one of these days I'm going to figure out why!
