creating models, like creating factories, takes a lot of capital. so it's not shocking that their creation is the concern of capital. it's the *output* that's of interest here, to me. and i think that this is happening, in the small, all over.

“Machos Alfa" is back today with a new season! It's probably my favorite comedy TV show in recent years.

Fellow *non*-Americans—are you using any or all of the U.S. support for Israeli wars and the Israeli genocide on Palestinians, the U.S. attack on Venezuela, the annexation threats against Greenland, or other U.S. policy decisions to move away from U.S. products and services?

"The government now wants to make it super expensive (>€100,000) for ordinary people to go to court to protect the environment.
The Government is currently engaged in an extremely short consultation on proposed rules to cap legal costs when you go to court and hold the state to account for breaking environmental law.

Dear people in #minneapolis, our public broadcasting news in Germany just reported from today's protests, interviewed locals and concluded with the reporter saying "the overwhelming vibe of people on the streets resisting #ICE, despite fear, is 'now more than ever' ".

You are seen. ✊

I haven't checked my (newly built last year) TrueNAS box in a while and had a panic attack when I saw i only had 2.7GiB free and it was fluctuating wilding…

Oh that's RAM… not storage…

Oops.

A lot of people support Firefox but hate the Mozilla direction. Has there been any serious effort to not just fork/tweak the browser but the entire project?
I think a non-profit aimed at focusing on making an actually great Free Software browser in 2026 would do well...
Or is it just that Mozilla is "good enough" that the few real objectors just move on and focus on other things entirely?

@ploum Non, bien sûr.
Il y a environ 15-20% des humains qui n'ont pas de relations sexuelles et nettement plus en-dessous de 25 ans. On peut supposer qu'ils sont frustrés et seuls.

and i'm not the first to say this, but it is a grave mistake that folks want to cede an important technology to the right we fight for technology so that we can direct it towards good ends. we don't just let the other side take good tools because we don't like how they use those tools

how to join the maquis

a thing i've been thinking about posting for a long time is "back in those days, the workers didn't say "eww factories were created by capitalists to enrich capitalists, we should abandon factories" they said "we should seize them and direct their output for the good of humanity"

Oui je suis tombé sur son profil, c'est 😐

En plus de son pseudo QI, croire a l'astrologie c'est pas signe d'être un bon nazi vu l’origine "asiatique" de l'astrologie

@ploum Chercher l'erreur? L'erreur c'est d'être nazi, bien sûr.

sort of along my recent repost, the issue at hand has been the same since the dawn of capitalism: when automation increases productivity, who gets to capture the value of that productivity increase? the beef is not with the productivity. it's with the value capture

Blog post: Dropserver progress for November and December. I talk about the difference between bog standard server software and Dropserver, and why I need to rip out old assumptions from the code.

PSA: I have enabled auto-deletion of my posts. Genuinely surprised why I didn’t when I made this account, it is my favourite feature of Mastodon and usually I activate it immediately 😅 apologies if I’m breaking past conversations. But I love the feature for 2 reasons: firstly, it helps limiting my digital footprint, secondly, it makes my “weight” on this server smaller and thus help with resources utilisation; and as a sysadmin myself, I like cleaning up past content 😎

is there a symbol people can use on projects that contain no ai generated code or assets

I'm working on a video to explain RunLoop in iOS and creating a diagram as visual reference to understand how the components interact each other. #iosdev

I would like your feedback. Do you think the image below is representing the interaction between RunLoop and a thread correctly? 👇🏻
