GenAI sits at the intersection of fascism, capitalism, labor, climate change, and environmental degradation. It is the quintessential technology of our time, the epitome of our current struggles. Defeating it is the key to defeating capital.
L'UE è una "colonia digitale degli Stati Uniti", ma un'italiana sta cercando di cambiare le cose, con un certo successo
Tutta l'Europa è dipendente dai prodotti e dai servizi delle aziende tecnologiche americane. Un gruppo di europei sta cercando di cambiare questa situazione. Ma come si fa a convincere 27 paesi a unirsi e a vendere qualcosa che ancora non esiste?
Today is Public Domain Day 2026 🎉
Some creative works finally become free, but copyright is not global and rules change by country:
in New Zealand Tolkien’s books have been public domain since 2024. In Europe/US we still have to wait decades 💍
It would be nice to have one single, fair copyright law:
One law to free them all,
one law to share and bind,
one law across all nations,
and leave long waits behind.

A seal pup covered with lanugo, a protective layer of fluffy hair, stained yellow with amniotic fluid. As the pup grows, its coat will become pure white, which it will then moult and gain its final coat, with a spotted pattern unique to each animal, a helpful means of identification for researchers.

Remember:
I like the term 'traumatic masculinity' more than 'toxic masculinity'.
It provides greater clarity to both cause and effect. "Toxic masculinity" doesn't snap into existence fully formed, it is caused by the traumatizing way we raise men. And its effects are that it further traumatizes - women, men, everyone.
This term also provides real guidance to what healthy masculinity looks like (tho that's not for me to figure out). What parts of masculinity are not trauma responses? Lean into those.

・チェックインして渡された鍵、古の🗝️タイプ
・鍵穴に挿して回す魚類、突起が折れる鍵
・受付、笑いながら予備を渡すも目が笑ってない
・部屋のドアは棚が邪魔で半ドアしか開かない
・トイレは狭いので斜めに座らないと無理
・トイレの蓋は狭過ぎて手前に倒れてくる
いいところ
・シャワーは綺麗、ベッドも広い
You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is “Never get involved in a land war in Asia.” But only slightly less well-known is this: “Never mention dissatisfaction with a Microsoft or Apple product on Mastodon if you aren’t prepared to switch to Linux!”

It relays events and expands references to commits, issues and pull requests
I wrote about setting up logging that's more useful than console.log() but doesn't require a Ph.D. in configuration. Covers categories, structured logging, request tracing, and production tips.

grateful for the books that made 2025 a little less hard
In case you're wondering: adding a number to the current year won't make any difference. Things are still as bad as they were yesterday. 2026 will most probably be worse than 2025 if you look at the current trends.
