You need to take action against NOW.

If things go as "expert groups" in the EU have planned, ChatControl might pass on the 19th of June.

Contact your representatives and tell them to vote a clear NO; to count abstentions as formal disagreements.

There are many challenges when designing federated applications. Here I share thoughts that I've been developing with the Commune group, as we envision a fediverse of agents, not a fediverse of servers.

Are you ready for the release of 4.8??

@darktable Yes, really looking forward! I really love how fast Darktable is evolving. Thanks a lot to all the developers! I am right now editing a whole wedding shooting and I am glad there is no cloud, AI or license bullshit I have to deal with, and no need to use Windows. Just editing images and my customers love the results.

@JamesGleick probably not, maybe Shakespeare but even in that case an American had to reconstruct the theatre because the British were totally uninterested

@humanhorseshoes I thought so too.

The Right’s Politics of Revenge

The responses to the Trump verdict offer an instructive – and alarming – reminder of what defines the American Right today: They are out for bloody retaliation, all dressed up as patriotism.

I always strive to be kind to everyone. This world is hard enough, and you never know what someone is going through.

But the truth is, this kindness never extends inward. It pains me to admit that I'm quite mean to myself—meaner than I've ever been to another person, ever.

I'm working on it, but it's a hard habit to break.

So I want to know: what's one simple thing you do to show yourself some kindness?

@SJHoodlet daily walks, usually with a deeply compassionate and contemplative podcast in my ear like On Being with Krista Tippett 🥰

@erlend That sounds lovely. I'll look into that podcast as well. Thank you. 💚 🙏

My latest video is now live on YouTube!

Nearly 3 million people pass through Shinjuku Station every day, which is an insane number. But despite the massive number of people transported, the area around Shinjuku supports some great urbanism, with vibrant street life and lots of independent shops

@notjustbikes Just watched it. Those are insane numbers 🤯.

In Duitsland zijn het dan weer intrieste getallen: https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/kijk/2024/06/16/j13-trein-duitsland-mimir-d37d9628-df0c-48f9-94fd-155af0c311cc/

Yes. The Guardian covers (effective altruism, longtermism, et) as what it is: eugenics and racism.

The WashPost's CEO was involved in some corrupt stuff when he was working for Rupert Murdoch.

Across the world the right to repair is gaining traction... in the UK Jay Blades & his colleagues on The Repair Shop have pushed repairing into the mainstream.

This has been going on for some time, including cycle repair Co-ops, repair clinics etc. Every now & then it pops up in the mainstream media... and here is this week's iteration.

Repairing is the future, but the Tech firms don't want us to embrace it - resist!

I like it a lot!

It's short, but covers some very important UX basics that are often done wrong, not just by beginners but also in commercial products.

I think this is very valuable and I hope you'll make more videos like these! :3

Very nice! Feels like a condensed version of one of the nice aspects of The Sims, making your own spaces

Ever been tempted to make a full life sim? 😅

@rubenwardy Oh absolutely, many - many times

Just finished this excellent talk:

https://maggieappleton.com/forest-talk

Very aligned with the project I've been working on recently, which is aiming to create a network of shared purpose so that you can find other humans who are interested in the same things you are.
