Replanting
The act of moving a post you once made, that was in a bad environment (parasites, etc), over to your digital garden. It may live in isolation, due to climate change (Google AI), but at least the post will be cared for and grow strong roots again.

Example: https://cybercultural.com/p/tim-berners-lee-interview-2009/

(I am in the process of replanting a bunch of my other early or classic RWW posts, into my current digital garden: Cybercultural)

Projects such as Bluesky, Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc are pursuing a "strategy of radical openness" in terms of how a business school (rather than a developer) would probably put it.

I wonder: what other examples in other parts of the economy are there for a strategy of radical openness?

Samsung has rolled out a software update to its smart fridges that will display ads, despite saying they had "no plans" to do so. We're headed for a future where you will have to pay extra for appliances without ads.

Transformative technology with billions of dollars of investment and nonstop hype for the last 4 years, and this is what we get in return

It is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to contain the amount of excitement in making this post... We have the Shepherd init system running on Spritely Goblins running ON TOP OF GUIX! See the screenshot!

This is HUGE! We just wrote about Goblins + Shepherd a few days ago but progress is SO FAST! https://spritely.institute/news/shepherd-goblins-update.html

Do you have ways the PSF can solicit donations and you're wondering who to tell?

Me. I will gladly accept new and innovative (and ideally ethical) ways for us to convince you to donate. Some of them, like https://wandering.shop/@phildini/115226663830809655, I will even pass on! #Python

The advice? Lock down your social media accounts.

Personally I would recommend switching from saying antifa to just saying the full thing: anti fascism. By using the shortened version the fascists get to obscure it's meaning and trick people into not noticing how absurd it is to be anti anti fascist, and we shouldn't let them have that

If the server allows clients to upload arbitrary files, it MUST serve media from a different origin (e.g. from a different subdomain).

- Us fountain pen fans are so into collecting inks, it's easy to forget that the average person only stocks a few Iroshizukus and Emerald of Chivor.

- And Diamine Quartz Black, of course.

- Of course.

With original xkcd attached, because assuming everyone's seen it would be very quartz, of course #fountainpen #fountainpens #xkcd
