We need to remember that not everyone shares our same preferences, like how I use none of these platforms, but others do.

If we want to the fediverse to thrive, we need to focus on making everything easier.

Like sharing a post on Loops.

As already stated before, we do not use GPTs when writing our texts. We may have inadvertently copied GPT-style writing by following Kickstarter guidelines, but all words are paw-written by our lovely team.

We understand the distrust because we've ourselves been disappointed by many orgs and companies falling down that AI sloppification, but please keep in mind that LLMs have been trained on existing documents and we have professional copy-writers who are tuned to write texts based on a certain style. And if Kickstarter has a certain style, they match it.

On Fedi/socials we do not have such guidelines and can walk over the keyboard as we like to.

Our copy-writer feels a bit hurt by this accusation, please bear in mind that there's actual real people behind this ordeal.

EDIT: To clarify, some reached out to us and where just really friendly throughout the ordeal despite their alarm bells ringing. This is entirely valid and we thank you from the depths of our hearts for this. We're just sad about much more hostile wording by others. Love y'all <3

Edsger Wybe Dijkstra was a foundational figure in computer science. His pioneering work established the groundwork for several key domains, including algorithm and program design, operating systems, distributed processing, and the formal verification of mathematical arguments. The "E. W. Dijkstra Archive" contains the manuscripts of Edsger W. Dijkstra that everyone in compsci is must read.

How can improve

Sustainable Bites: Food and Our Future What can we do to help make our food systems more sustainable? UBC researchers share small steps that can make a big collective impact. 

March 24, 2025

"Indigenous households experience food insecurity at rates two to three times higher than non-Indigenous households in Canada. Dr. , an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Forestry and Faculty of Land and Food Systems, studies Indigenous food sovereignty and food systems, and how to revitalize them.

Did you know?

, or , a lily-like plant with a starchy bulb, was an important staple for along the .
Kwetlal was cultivated in Garry oak by and Quw’utsun Peoples, until nearly destroyed these unique food systems.

What does Indigenous food sovereignty mean?

" 'Indigenous food sovereignty is the reclamation and revitalization of our food systems,' says Dr. Grenz, who is Nlaka’pamux of mixed ancestry, whose family comes from the First Nation. She grew up and lives on the coast of BC.

"The lands across , Dr. Grenz explains, were purposefully shaped since time immemorial for foods, medicines and technologies by the Indigenous Peoples who lived there until colonial settlers dispossessed them of their lands, culture and traditions.

" 'Indigenous food sovereignty is also about : being able to access those foods and medicines again and find new ones as we face a changing climate,' said Dr. Grenz. 'Heal the people, heal the land. Heal the land, heal the people. I think that’s really what food sovereignty is about.'

"Revitalizing Indigenous food systems can help diversify and localize food systems in ways that could buffer against in a changing climate.

"Dr. Grenz’s research team is working alongside Indigenous communities impacted by the 2021 heat dome and wildfires to understand the effects on culturally important plants.

" 'If you think of land as just vegetation and an aesthetic notion of what belongs, you’re going to have very different approaches and different outcomes to recovery than if you see that land as a food system, not just for humans, but for our animal, bird, fish and insect relations,' says Dr. Grenz. 'We’re working alongside communities to develop those Indigenized processes around wildfire recovery that honour Indigenous food systems, sustainability and resiliency.”'

How can support the revitalization of Indigenous food systems?

"Learn about the histories of the lands you live on and what the traditional food systems were, what they are now and what they could be, says Dr. Grenz.

"Incorporating reciprocity into your relationship with the land is also important. 'Learn about the plants of those lands and find a way to invite them into your life. How can you take care of them, nurture them and steward them?' asks Dr. Grenz.

"One way might be to Indigenize your own back yard or community garden. Or learn about Indigenous food system protocols and the concept of '.'

How can land-based learning support Indigenous food sovereignty?

"Land-based learning is an opportunity to get students and people out on the land—and start taking steps to give back while they are learning.

"At , Dr. Grenz and students are starting two different Indigenous food systems to work as part of the agrarian food system that exists there — 'essentially bridging two food systems, and our understandings of what foods are and how those two systems work together to benefit both.'

"In one, they are establishing a Garry oak ecosystem and growing camas, which is a traditional food system of the W̱SÁNEĆ  and Quw’utsun Peoples. Another type of , similar to other Coast , or food systems, will see the forest shaped by different plants like beaked , , and .

The students will be able to practice how to care for plants ordinarily thought of as forest plants, and 'learn how to reclaim traditional practices to actually increase the production of those berries.' "

I really wish the Internet Archive could stop lying in their HTTP User-Agent headers. To be specific, I wish they could stop claiming to be either ancient versions of browsers or modern versions of browsers that are different from the browser engines they're actually using. It's hurting their ability to, you know, archive stuff, because these days such mismatches look a lot like bad crawlers.

RE: mastodon.social/@dansup/115759

I developed shortcodes back in 2020 iirc, the idea was to pave the way for username changes without breaking links, using a hash id of the snowflake status id. We no longer need to pollute urls with usernames, because they (can soon) change.

Existing permalinks will remain supported, but we will transition to shortcode links across the platform (including federation urls) in the new year.
