Oh nice, one of the updates:
"Shorten caching of quote posts pending approval"
New post: Why your R package wrapper needs a sitrep() function.
One command to surface auth status, config issues, and connectivity — instead of 20 questions with frustrated users.

Sometimes, people on Facebook don't know the Fediverse exists.
The European Commission likes to tell them. 💜 😉
I want to address something that happened here recently. I wasn't involved, though I did know the people who were. The bristly situation was not an isolated occurrence on this platform.
My main takeaway from that kerfuffle is that no one here owes anyone else a conversation. "But why can't we have a discussion; isn't that the point of this place?" has real "Debate me, Bro" vibes. It's not a discussion without mutual agreement.
This has nothing to do with the point(s) being made. If, at any time, you have been asked to leave by the person who started the thread, you have to leave the thread. You don't have the right to keep engaging after someone tells you to stop. Full stop. If you feel like you were possibly misunderstood, and want to clarify, you'll have to do that in a separate post of your own: "I was part of a discussion today, and here's the point I was trying to make . . ." That's fine, because it's your space, not someone else's. It's a bit like being in your own home instead of at someone else's front door.
The rules of discourse apply in this online space just like they do in any physical space. If someone doesn't want to argue with you, they don't have to, most especially in their own home.
Max & Molly relaxing on the balcony
Max, the black cat, just about tolerates Molly. But he's never affectionate with her, likes personal space, gets annoyed if she comes too close
Molly, on the other hand, adores Max. She thinks the sun shines out of his butt. Which is why she's always looking for it up there
This picture shows a rare occasion when he let her sit next to him. You can see in her eyes she knows it won't be long before he gets up and leaves in a huff
grrrrr apparently its pc needed another reboot because today the e key was stuck (even when unplugging the keyboard, seems like the kernel driver just kept on spamming e)

This 30/01 we're leaving Spotify, join the #boicotspotify #BoycottSpotify
Why? 1. Spotify owner investing in the military and the biz of genocide, 2. Spotify hardly pays anything to the artists (only to the famous ones), 3. Spotify uses AI generated music to avoid paying artists
On Sunday we join La Instrumental, to imagine musical futures that are more free and collective. For musical production and use that is + ethical, responsible, solidary https://www.lainstrumental.org/
So there’s a new Guardian interview with Jimmy Wales out (to promote his new book, with an affiliate link for the Guardian in it) titled “‘People thought I was a communist doing this as a non-profit’: is Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales the last decent tech baron?”* that’s making the rounds here.
For those who only read the headlines, here’s a TL;DR: No. There is no such thing as decent tech baron, that’s an oxymoron.
From the article itself:
“‘I’m actually quite in favour of business and capitalism and all that.’ (He’s currently president of Fandom, an ad-funded entertainment site that hosts user-edited pages, owned by private equity firm TPG Capital).”
And:
“Does he still regard Musk, the world’s richest man, as a friend? ‘Friends is probably a little strong. I mean, not, not that –‘ he sputters, editing himself in real time. ‘I want to be careful how I say that, only because I’ve met him maybe five or six times, so that I would be overstating to say friends. We’ve been friendly, and even now he’s much nicer to me in private than you might think. I mean, he’s got a big public persona, and that’s a little bit different from the private Elon, who I think is more thoughtful.’”
Also, some more background:

From what I gather, most of the big wikis on Fandom are trying to leave because it's so filled with ads. Apparently the process is difficult, and compounded by the fact that Fandom refuses to delete content after a wiki has moved somewhere else. Which means they keep the higher SEO rating to keep driving clicks to ad-riddled pages that are out of date or full of vandalised garbage.
