Over the years I've been hearing from folks that it's hard to remember which zines you've bought
So we built a new library website where you can see & download all your zines!

If you think of universal basic income as just "more money," you aren't understanding it and what makes it so different and effective. The fact it comes at a regular frequency is a key factor. When you know that whatever happens next month, you can still buy food, that's a huge deal.

#sunbeamcity took a little nap but we're back now
At this year's #fosdem were many urgent calls to save #democracy (e.g. by 
@RichiHRichard "RichiH" Hartmann), yet we don't even deal with fascist tendencies in our communities.
Mostly men™ with authoritarian behaviours, using their positions of [limited] power to oppress and only know escalation, no dialogue.
Start taking action by stand up against unacceptable behavior more, correct your friends and colleagues when they have their shitty, unnecessary power trips.

Just discovered part of my HRT has been discontinued due to an AI note taking error. Gynae did not say discontinue, and I have letters to prove it. Now I may have to be without testosterone until this is proven, which may mean another 6 month wait to resee a gynaecologist via NHS. Hopefully my letters will suffice, but currently unclear.
I am beyond furious. Also, wow. Fuck living in this dystopia.
Keep every medical record you get, you're going to need it in this new terrifying timeline.

As someone who was a true devotee of FutureWave SmartSketch (which became FutureSplash Animator, which became Macromedia Shockwave Flash, which became Adobe Flash, which became Adobe Animator) my sorrow is incalculable. Every day I long for software I had in the 90s which I can't find anything as good as today.

#Git v2.53.0 is out:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/xmqq4inz13e3.fsf@gitster.g/
Some of the highlights:
* Both "git apply" and "git diff" learn a new whitespace error class, "incomplete-line".
* "git blame" learns "--diff-algorithm=<algo>" option.
* Halve the memory consumed by artificial filepairs created during "git diff --find-copies-harder", also making the operation run faster.
* Add a new manual that describes the data model (https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/gitdatamodel.adoc – see also: https://jvns.ca/blog/2026/01/08/a-data-model-for-git/ )

Just discovered there is a fediverse party [called 2a FEDIFESTA] happening in #Alicante #Spain on the 28th of this month!
I added it to this list of fedi events going on I started recently https://hackers.pub/@wakest/2026/upcoming-fediverse-events
in the future when you hear a little bird singing in a tree, you'll be able to hold your phone up in the air and it'll identify the bird based on its song. and a big red flashing message will appear on your phone like "CRIMINAL BIRD DETECTED. THANK YOU FOR IDENTIFYING THIS BIRD" and you'll hear a distant buzzing as three police quadcopters converge on your location to arrest the bird

People complain, but then when organisations actually listen they don't share *that* story.

Ghostty nightly now supports the `click_events` extension introduced by Kitty and supported by Fish. If you're using Fish 4.1+, you can click (no modifiers!) anywhere at a prompt to move the mouse. I believe Ghostty is the first to support this extension outside of Kitty.
As far as as I can find, the only shell to support this is Fish (4.1+) and the only terminal to support this previously is Kitty. It'd be great for more of both ecosystems to support this.
Other terminals do support moving the cursor with the mouse to some extent (Ghostty included since 1.0), but do so by another, more fragile mechanism: when you click, it just best-effort calculates a number of synthetic left arrow key inputs to pretend to move your cursor. This is super fragile because it can't take into account shell behaviors particularly around indention, multi-line, and if you're not at a prompt at all...
The `click_events` extension allows Ghostty to know when you're at a prompt line, and works by encoding a mouse click event while at a prompt line to the shell. The shell then takes over and handles all the logic of moving the cursor, which makes the most sense!

Maximum Toronto?
North-facing Union Station on the left is lit by sunlight reflected from RBC Plaza across the street and behind the camera (not visible in pic).
The Royal York Hotel is on the right. I stayed there when I was a kid. I was the annoying kid on the train yelling "I see the CN Tower! Mom! Dad! Random stranger! Look!" (Any other Gen Xers remember the paper fold-together trains they handed out to us kids?)
The CN Tower rises above.
