In order for something to ever be a real solution it has to be a situated solution. Solutions in the abstract are just fictions. And I love fiction and theory but only as a thing that guides us toward trying the highest leverage thing for our particular situation.

I think if all we have to offer a struggling junior career person is "bosses are terrible," we are offering them a world in which they can never be ok because they need to have a job. And we know they need to have a job, and it's self-indulgent for us to screech at them about capitalism when we could be sharing tactics.

So offer, "here is one thing that helps manage a terrible boss," at least

I have been working on a question all year which can basically be boiled down to: "what rehumanizes?"

For me, the context is tech, but of course, tech needs to learn from everywhere else in order to see its own deficits.

Taking as a given that we are all existing in broken, cumulatively damaging cultures, I really want to move beyond sitting in that grief and move toward us being able to notice and recognize and ultimately protect repair

Often, people respond very negatively toward any comment about individual psychology because it does not solve the problems at the structural level

I recognize this, but at the same time, I think something is lost when we attack every mention of individual psychology

There's a big divergence between what we talk about when I meet with people 1:1 versus what's talked about on social media here and I don't like that divergence

still like the lighting system i came up with for midboss. it just draws all the tiles again (at a lower resolution) filled with the light color for that tile instead of the normal pixels, and then it blurs the shit out of it and that becomes the lighting

so simple but highly effective

midboss screenshot of a shrine. the shrine is illuminated by the player's line of sight, but it creeps through a door just below the player, then stops

Remboursement des fauteuils roulants : promesse tenue

politis.fr/articles/2025/12/re

Depuis le 1er décembre, la Sécurité sociale rembourse la totalité du coût du fauteuil roulant pour les personnes en situation de handicap. Une bonne nouvelle pour les 1,1 million de personnes qui utilisent un fauteuil roulant en France, et les 150 000 qui en achètent chaque année. Emmanuel Macron aura tenu au moins une de ses promesses dans ce quinquennat.

Albarracín is one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Teruel, Aragón (Spain), famous for its pink sandstone houses, steep narrow streets, and impressive city walls. Highlights include the castle, the cathedral, and great viewpoints over the Guadalaviar River. It’s also surrounded by beautiful nature like the Pinares de Rodeno. Wandering its narrow alleys, climbing up to the walls, and seeing the whole town from above was incredible.

Okay, I'm going to put this to the Fedi hive mind - does printer friendly needlepoint canvass exist?

I know about the various ways you can transfer a printed image from paper, but they're all too laborious to do in bulk, and I'd like something we can make ourselves.

This is really interesting. The prevalent thinking is you put panels on set-aside land not being used for anything else (or rooftops, of course). But actually creating a partial canopy of solar panels over crops can *improve* yields without losing farmland, the same sort of win win situation as you have with covering car parks:

Sýrie se rok po konci občanské války stále potýká s obrovskými následky konfliktu. Do zničených měst se vracejí miliony lidí, ekonomika je na polovině předválečné úrovně a v některých regionech dosahuje nezaměstnanost až 90 %. Přesto se objevují první náznaky obnovy.
👉 Více přímo z místa zahraniční zpravodaj ČT Andreas Papadopolus.

I agree with the storyteller: the experience of having a slave is abhorrent, simulated or not, and this story is a window into something •deep• about the present moment. Even without having slaves, we are all in danger of having a •slaver mindset•. It’s a disease that’s running rampant now in billionaire-shaped techno-utopian circles.

I wrote this thread on the topic earlier:

hachyderm.io/@inthehands/11329

…and even having written that, it’s still shocking — not surprising, exactly, but shocking — to hear those thoughts expressed so baldly by the colleague in the story above.

The only reason selective colleges and universities are anywhere *close* to parity is because of affirmative action for young men, defended not as a matter of remedial justice but as a matter of maintaining a particular campus atmosphere. Abolish that, you get 60-40 right away, 65-35 soon.

디지털 노마드 커뮤니티 몇 곳이 갑자기 추천 링크가 떠서 간만에 살펴보니 요즘 주제가 되는 디지털 노마드의 도시들은 전부 동북아시아였다.
정확히는
🇰🇷 vs 🇯🇵
가끔
🇹🇼이나 🇲🇾가 나온다.
2-3개월 체류 기준으로는
🇯🇵오사카, 🇹🇼의 가오슝, 🇲🇾쿠알라룸푸르,페낭이 주로 거론되는데
12개월 정도 긴 체류 기준으로는 가장 높은 총점을 받은 곳은
🇰🇷부산이다.
제일 큰 장점은 3가지는
급여, 교통비, 월세, 여름에도 괜찮고, 겨울에도 그렇게 힘들지 않다
단점은 비교 지역에 대비 비싼
생활 물가, 글로벌 모바일 요금제 단가가 비싸다, 슬럼가와 영어 응대였다.
급여가 장점이라니 이게 무슨 말이야?

Lots of talk in this article about being in hiding and in the dark on the Internet nowadays because it is overrun by bots and slop and algorithms.

ystrickler.com/dftrevisited/

It just so happens I am working on making dropserver.org "go dark" as well. I want it to be possible* to set up an instance with no public access, and use it solely through private networking (specifically Tailscale for now). I think this is the path forward. The Internet is changing and how we use the protocols that enable it will be changing too.

*It's possible now, but I want to make it more straightforward.

뭔가 이상하고 불길하다는 생각을 계속 했는데 대기업, 빅테크, 일부 자본/기술엘리트들이 컴퓨터 연산 자원, 컴퓨터 저장 자원(램, 스토리지), 지식과 그 아카이브&인터페이스(AI챗봇)를 독점하는 사이버펑크적 디스토피아였다. 공각기동대, 낙원추방, 사이버펑크 2077, 뭐 그런 종류.
