The uncertain economic waters are making me more price conscious, but it's also making me more aware of how I vote with my wallet. So I've tried to buy local more, mostly in the form of food from standalone restaurants rather than chains. It's small, but at least it's something that helps me see how can take action.

trans discourse

Transfems debating between each other what terminology transmascs should use to talk about their own struggles just comes off as disrespectful. Like if I, as a white-hispanic motherfucker, started policing what terms black people can use to describe their oppression I'd get fucking laughed at on the street! And rightly so!

Question: How big is the number of persons in your country who would donate 1% of their income to fight global warming?
Answer: Much bigger than you think.

A recent global survey (nature.com/articles/s41558-024) found that in all surveyed countries, people estimate the number of people who support climate action too low, usually about 2/3 of the real number. And 89% of the population worldwide want stronger action to fight the climate crisis (theguardian.com/environment/20).

You can check at gccs.iza.org/rankings the values for your country.

Mattermost and Rocket.Chat are both open-source, self-hostable collaboration platforms, but they have some key differences in their focus and features. Both open-source collaboration solutions are available on FlatHub.


Mattermost is geared towards technical teams, focusing on collaboration features like code sharing and workflow automation.


Rocket.Chat is more feature-rich and customizable, often preferred for enterprise-level communication.

KDE and Gnome are probably the two most popular desktop environments available for Linux. Both have a dedicated Matrix client that is available to install as a Flatpak package.

NeoChat is a simple Matrix client actively being developed as part of the KDE ecosystem.

Fractal is a Matrix messaging client for the GNOME desktop written in Rust.

Southern California and folks, I need your help!

I'm in the planning stages of forming a PyLadies chapter based in the San Gabriel Valley (that's Pasadena, Monrovia, Arcadia, but could also include Glendale and Burbank, and many more communities on the east side of Los Angeles).

Before I submit requests and get the ball rolling, I'd like to find a third person who's interested in signing on as an organizer. Initially there won't be much responsibility beyond getting the word out and helping to decide what our first events will be. It's a great opportunity for someone looking for leadership experience in a volunteer setting.

If you're interested, feel free to reach out to me here, or at my email address on mechanicalgirl.com, or even on the PyLadies or SoCal Python Slack spaces.

looks like we're actually getting pkgbase in FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE. i did not expect this to be ready in time, but there's a lot of last-minute work going on, like bsdinstall support that was just committed.

快進場前才知道片名是《雷霆特攻隊*》(Thunderbolts *),重點是那個*

很多人說這一輪漫威的電影有影集化的傾向,我覺得這一部也不例外。它的規模、它的故事其實更像一部影集。不過在劇情交待、演員表現方面,至少全部都是在線的。

這一部是一部關於療傷的電影,如何面對、治療精神創傷,一群邊緣人自我救贖的故事。中間眾主角要面對自己內心最黑暗的回憶,很難想像Winter Soldier為了救一個素未謀面的人,重新經歷一遍自己的故事。電影沒有詳細講述這個過程,只有冬兵輕描淡寫的說「I have a good past」,如果一路有看Marvel的觀眾,應該可以想像這樣一句背負著多少的重量。

後面的彩蛋也是滿棒的。至少Marvel也通過這部電影做了一次自我救贖。

My half-baked deep thought of the day is that we are living through a time in which imagination has been de-legitimatized generally, and we are reaching the necessarily absurd crescendo of this process. It is taking physical form in technologies such as generative AI, literal Anti-Imagination generators.

Let me be clear what I (don't) mean by "imagination". I do not mean "creative", "fictional", "imaginary", or "artistic"--those words can be related, but they've also been co-opted into exactly the trend I'm calling out. I also don't mean interesting images that appear in your mind or dreams but are then dismissed as lacking significance. I do mean truly imaginative acts arising within and from the mind, and not subjected to editorial scrutiny by logic, empiricism, or other instrumentalized forms of reason. Dreams are one way to access imagination; active imagination--stream of consciousness directed but not edited by the conscious mind--can be a way to explore it. Religious, magical, mystical, or meditative practices can too if that's your jam. So can psychoanalysis and some other forms of therapy. There are countless other ways and I don't pretend to have any special knowledge of this, I'm just riffing on an idea.

More and more I believe that we have to rediscover and exercise this aspect of ourselves if we're to navigate the current crisis. (*) Our collective imagination lacks force at a time when generative Anti-Imagination is reaching industrial scale.



(*) "Crisis" has a medical definition: "that change in a disease which indicates whether the result is to be recovery or death" (Webster's dictionary). Its Greek root can also mean "decision", which I like to think about when considering "crises". They are decisions that need to be made.
