I knew it was this way but it's really hitting me today how much the Open Source movement and copyright maximalism supplanted the idea of free software, and again how much the Free Software movement turned from a close ideological cousin of the remix and open culture movement into a culture of legalism. At the same time, copyright law itself has been extended to be near-immortal copyrights rather than brief monopolies to spur creation by enabling profit from creating works.

So far NASA hasn't released any post-flight images of the #ArtemisII heat shield (except for a weird under-water view) - but here is one, kind of, I have extracted from the series https://www.facebook.com/NavalBaseSD/posts/pfbid05mJ788QWZoVSugx81FqT9aqGMSmvdCNP9P7KQfXtc6GevGQMtCkh184xgFV3N26vl of images taken by the Naval Base San Diego during a series of precision crane lifts and movements to prepare the Orion spacecraft for its final cross-country trip to Kennedy Space Center.

People Before Profit's bill to sanction the state of Israel is coming to the Dšil this week. There's a petition here calling on the TDs in the Dšil to back the bill. I've signed, please join me: https:…

Pass the Sanctions Against the State of Israel Bill
Dear Deputies, We call on you to vote in favour of the Sanctions Against the State of Israel Bill 2026 when it comes before the Dáil.  The bill is being proposed by Richard Boyd Barrett (People Before Profit) but it comes from the long-held mass movement demand for sanctions on the state of Israel.  It will be debated on 14 May and the vote in the Dáil is due to take place on 20 May. For almost three years, the world has witnessed the genocidal destruction of Gaza  - the mass killing of...

For #monochromeMonday and #mountainmonday I chose this one!
I took this photo on a snow shoe tour a while ago. That day, I didn't even want to go that far, but it went all well and the views were just beautiful and the whole surrounding was just pure silence.

Why is it that two of my hobbies have US national organizations who are actively working against their membership? The ARRL's bylawys changes to try to disqualify from election anyone who argues for change were embarrassing, and now AOPA is using legal action to try to stop a movement for transparency.
I think they are probably both em…

Facebook should be held partially liable for the death of people like Mr Friesen who were radicalized by the algorithms on that platform during the pandemic.
This leader of the anti-mandate/vax movement in Saskatchewan had to be sent to Ontario for treatment at one point, had pneumonia multiple times since, and died of dementia and pneumonia.
COVID is a life altering and potentially ending disease.
please get vaccinated (for everything!)

Chinese firms
— some with links to the People’s Liberation Army
— marrying artificial intelligence with open-source data
to market information they claim can “expose” the movements of U.S. forces.

Beijing has sought to distance itself from any direct involvement in the Iran war, but the firms
— many of which have emerged in the past five years as part of the government’s push to harness private AI for military use
— are capitalizing on the conflict.

U.S. …

Chinese firms market Iran war intelligence ‘exposing’ U.S. forces
Private Chinese technology companies — some with ties to the military — are marketing detailed intelligence on movements of U.S. forces in Iran, even as Beijing seeks to keep its distance.

“Asking an AI chatbot a question consumes a great deal more energy than finding the answer via simple web search or calculator. It adds extra demand for no good reason... a bit like driving to the shops in an SUV instead of riding your bike.”
Or driving any kind of car. AI, like cars, aims to reconfigure everyday life in a way that’s vastly more energy-hungry and polluting… and profitable for a few.
