Ihr Lieben,
ich gründe eine Liederbühne - zusammen mit Ellen Bonte ( 
@ahoibrowserEllen Bonte) und im Rahmen der 
@LeipzigerLiederszene - Juhu!
Sowas hatte ich schon immer mal vor u freue mich wahnsinnig, dass es jetzt Wirklichkeit wird.
Und haltet euch fest - unsere erste Gästin ist die wunderbare Alin Coen! Sie engagiert sich viel für FLINTA*s in der Musikbranche und hat auch Music Women Germany mitgegründet. Wir werden sie zu ihren Perspektiven und Wünschen interviewen!
Possibly dumb #snac #snac2 question, but what is the best way to install the latest version without affecting the existing users and posts, etc.? I thought I needed to use the command line option "snac upgrade" but looking at the manuals again, I don't think that's actually what that option is for? Is there a write up for just updating to the latest version out there anywhere?
There are at least a few runners here, so let me try asking this question.
I hear a lot about benefits of running in the zone 2. Right now I'm reading an article discouraging being in zone 3 for light runs (or hard ones - this is what zone 4 is for).
The question is: what if I'm not capable of running in zone 2 AT ALL? Everything that qualifies as running gets me into zone 3 after ~ 5 minutes, and to get out of it I need to start walking (very quickly dropping into zone 1).
I thought the library looked nice in the luscious blue twilight so I snapped a photo. As I did, this swan silently appeared out of nowhere. I assume it had just sailed out of a storybook in the library and that it does this every night when it thinks we're not looking.

I couldn't bring myself to post it yesterday because I was completely floored by this. But Jay from Liminal Fiction has reviewed #HeraldPetrel and it came back with a solid 5 stars and the summary:
"If you enjoy ‘hard’ science fiction and space opera with a helping of romance, you will love this book."
I never would have been bold enough to even think of it as hard #SciFi

📡 at very long last, today is the big day! my beloved book, OTHER NETWORKS: A RADICAL TECHNOLOGY SOURCEBOOK, is officially available for pre-order!
This a speculative index of communications networks, a love letter to experimental art & technology, & a liberatory guide for escaping the corporate present. Many of you know that, for years, I have been compiling and cataloguing a history of communications networks, one full of alternatives to the monolithic, surveilled internet as we now know it. The result is this compendium of possibilities that existed before or outside of the internet and a tribute to their experimental use by artists, covering everything from pirate radio to barbed wire telegraph, from synthesizers that transmitted over the telephone to encoded messages bounced off the surface of the moon.
Because of the hard work and creative genius of Mark Iosifescu, Jesse Pollock, and everyone at Anthology Editions; Robert Beatty who made the breathtaking cover and section designs; and Ella Gold for book design, OTHER NETWORKS is also a feat of beautiful design. And as if that weren't enough, the talented 
@jomcjoanne mcneil wrote the Foreword and the legendary 
@hrheingoldHoward Rheingold wrote the epilogue. So, so many people to thank, including many of YOU, for making this happen! https://shop.mexicansummer.com/merch/495898-lori-emerson-other-networks-a-radical-technology-sourcebook

The void that everyone’s screaming into, is it federated with other voids? Can I choose the void instance that’s specific to my screams, or should I use the general void?

English is so dominant in #academia that it's easy to neglect work in other languages. About half of what I've published is in English. But, so far as I can tell, the piece that's most widely read is one I wrote in French. It's focused on the intersection of contemporary political and historical discourse with respect to Indigenous peoples in #Québec.

I've been eyeing up this monster at my local record shop for about 18 months. Today I gave in. Probably my fav opera.
The record shop is literally a couple of streets away from where part of the opera is set. The opera texts are by a 13-year old #autistic kid. No-brainer, really.

Not as good as helping directly, but easier to justify to your accountant (or in my case, the bank manager ;-)), you could aways purchase one of these amazing plushies. Currently shipping is only possible in the USA, EU, Switzerland, Norway and the UK. Other regions to come later!

Ah, sigh, rejection from the one job application where someone was even willing to interview me. I'd not had my hopes up, but one can't help but daydream in the uncertainty, regardless.
I highly appreciate that they were even willing to give me the chance. And that they took the all too rare effort to get back to me with a few sentences to explain. At least I have closure on that one, a certainty.
It has been suggested I'd be more suited for a devops/sysadmin role if they had one, which they don't.
I am a coder. I want to write code. I enjoy writing code. I've full respect for devops and sysadmin work, but it I don't regard it to be my core skillset. I've only just learnt what devops is. It isn't what I most want to do. (I mean, I'd accept a job in any such field and could probably enjoy it, but all the same it really gets me down to be told this.)

The precision given to incantations and the exactness of potions is in a way the development of formulaic necessity and such stories, or practices, a good way to transmit it's usefulness for future generations. This exact process, with this exact ingredients, yields this exact thing.

Hello there! For those who don't know me, I'm Murilo, Brazilian, full stack developer, creative technologist and aspiring computational artist.
For the past 8 years I have been working doing research and development for companies with focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) such as Kano, Strawbees, Makey Makey and Arduino. Last December I wrapped up my almost 2 year fruitful contribution at Arduino and for 2025 I would like to do something I have never done before: Freelancing and commissions!
I have updated my website and started actively looking for projects, contracts, partnerships and all sorts of work opportunities. I am a versatile professional with experience in hardware hacking, server infrastructure, digital design and fabrication, apps, websites, UI/UX, interaction, teaching and content development.
Let's make things together! Reach out and let's find out what that's going to be 😉
@actuallyautisticActuallyAutistic group Several weeks ago, I undertook to post more about the concept of the #kaleidotropic mindset — a further development of the classic concept of the #monotropic mindset underlying autism. I'm continuing to develop my thoughts on these topics, but they are threatening to overrun even the 5000-character limit of the zeroes.ca Mastodon server — in fact, they're starting to look more like something I'd consider submitting to NeuroClastic than like a Mastodon post. Also, I've now realized that if I'm right, it's not just the theory of #monotropism that will need to be revised, but the formal diagnostic criteria for autism as well. So rather than try to wait until my thought process is complete, I'd like to share something of the current state of my thinking — especially what I consider to be most essential.
The concept of #kaleidotropy was suggested to me as a consequence of my recent self-diagnosis in late 2024; while I appeared to be mostly a very good fit for C.L. Lynch's Person One (a classic "aspie"-type autist), there were a few important details that didn't fit. In particular, while I definitely shared the characteristic #monotropic intensity of attentional focus, I felt that the characterization of my interests as "narrow and restricted" was not merely untrue, it was the exact polar opposite of the truth. Intensity of focus and narrowness of focus don't necessarily correlate. Although my self-diagnosis and my familiarity with the concept of #monotropism are very recent, I've known for a very long time that my interests and my focus of attention were a departure from the norm, and in a very different way than the concept of #monotropism or the formal diagnostic criteria for autism would suggest. I've been aware that my interests were broader, AND deeper, AND more labile, than is typical for most people — the supposedly #polytropic neurotypicals emphatically included. To me, THEY are the ones whose interests are narrow and restricted!
I realize that this assertion is likely to be challenged — and my attempts to anticipate and answer those challenges has been one of the principal reasons for the rapid growth in volume of this material. Unlike autism — which is so heavily stigmatized that a self-diagnosis on inadequate grounds is usually unlikely — CURIOSITY mostly has a very favorable reputation. Implying that someone's supply of it might fall short of the theoretically possible maximum can look like an accusation of stupidity, and tends to draw emphatic denials. But rather than present the considerable evidence available, to the effect that my interests really do exceed the norm along several different dimensions, I'd like that possibility to be at least taken seriously for the sake of argument — and consider how and why such a state of affairs could be consistent with a diagnosis of autism.
In the theory of #monotropism, the characteristic social difficulties of autistics are explained in terms of an inability to allocate attentional focus optimally for social interaction. Social adroitness requires a myriad of things to be monitored in real time — a task calling for #polytropic breadth of attention. The formal diagnostic criteria for autism simply require social difficulties and a restricted range of interests both to be present, while remaining agnostic as to any potential causal relationship between the two.
What I suggest is that the theory of #monotropism has the causal relationship backwards. The fundamental characteristic of the neurotypical mindset, that separates it from autistic cognition, is precisely the intense and constant, though diffuse, focus on the social world. For this reason, I propose that this mindset be given not the misleading label #polytropic, but a more accurately descriptive characterization as #ecotropic — yoked tightly to the social environment. An #ecotropic mind has a wider focus of attention than SOME autistic minds, not because it CAN, but because it MUST. The complementary autistic mindset I term #autotropic — responsive to its own internal logic, rather than to the environment.
An #autotropic mind is thus under far weaker constraints than an #ecotropic one — and we would accordingly expect to see a much greater variety of subtypes within #autotropy. The classic, stereotypical #monotropic mindset is certainly one of these — the ability, for example, to focus exclusively on a single spinning object, oblivious to all else.
But other subtypes of #autotropy can also exist. Attention can be given, not to fewer, but to MORE topics at once, than is likely for an #ecotropic intellect subservient to its social surroundings. Likewise, while an #ecotropic attentional set is limited by external reality in the speed with which it can undergo change, this subtype of #autotropic intellect — which I term #kaleidotropic — can refocus from one entire panoply of topics to another in an instant. Just about anything can have the effect of Proust's madeleine.

You who wronged a simple man
Bursting into laughter at the crime,
And kept a pack of fools around you
To mix good and evil, to blur the line,Though everyone bowed down before you,
Saying virtue and wisdom lit your way,
Striking gold medals in your honor,
Glad to have survived another day,Do not feel safe. The poet remembers.
You can kill one, but another is born.
The words are written down, the deed, the date.And you’d have done better with a winter dawn,
A rope, and a branch bowed beneath your weight.
– czesław miłosz, “you who wronged” (orig. polish title “który skrzywdziłeś”)
