My spouse and I went today to a favoriteTex-Mex restaurant and were touched when, at meal's end, the waiter brought us complimentary servings of heart-shaped flan. Everything about the restaurant lifted my spirits on a gray, wet, coldish late-winter day — bright colors everywhere, pulsating salsa music, delicious food, smiling, friendly, welcoming wait staff, all immigrants.

I think the biggest gap in the whole notion of FOSS is that self-hosting as a concept is not accessible to normal people.
I don't even know *why* this is hard.
Edit: A great illustration of why it's hard:

highly suspect that when tech companies say they are "deleting" your data, what they are actually doing is just moving it over to a folder marked "deleted" and knowing that they'll never be called on this

Wrzuciłam dziś nową wersję portalu https://fediverse.pl. Chciałam go trochę uprościć i uporządkować, dzieląc go na sekcje przeznaczone dla konkretnego typu zainteresowanych Fediwersum (obecnie sekcja ogólna, instytucje publiczne i programiści, dodatkowe jak znajdę czas). Blog, który pokazywał jedynie że nie poświęcałam portalowi na bieżąco uwagi, zniknął ze strony głównej.
Celowo chciałam, żeby portal wyglądał na razie tak generycznie i skupiłam się na treści (ale zdjęcia zostaną te xD). Nie uważam opublikowanych treści za finalne, ale uznałam że lepiej wrzucić już to niż trzymać poprzednią stronę.
Zależy mi na feedbacku, uważam że trzymanie takiej generycznej domeny (kupionej spontanicznie bo chciałam miejsce na tłumaczone artykuły których blog mastodona nie chciał mergować) tworzy pewne zobowiązanie

"AI" bullshit.
I'm starting to expect to have to hear, for the rest of my life, over and over and over, about how *this* new version of the AI garbage machine is *the* magic version that finally makes all the lies true. So sick of it.
The AI stuff fills me with anxiety mostly because it's happening in the imperial, capitalist ecocide - and accelerating it.
What if there were narrow models, trained consensually, forced to use renewables, x, y, z? What if "I might lose my job" was actually a good thing? That's not our timeline sadly, but it is how it could look. Needs to look!
For me this is the perspective. The dynamic hasn't changed, it's "just" accelerating.
Just seems like a golden opportunity now to surface and delete bullshit jobs as well as surfacing and highlighting actually-very-useful jobs.
We should be challenging any outspoken AI-maxxers about their opinions on UBI and working hours, forcing their hand to speak up for life and dignity - or outing themselves as monsters.

bell hooks - intersectional feminist, 2026

I highly recommend her book All About Love, and she has a book specifically speaking to men I’ve heard great things about The Will To Change: Men Masculinity, and Love.
“Sometimes people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power - not because they don't see it, but because they see it and they don't want it to exist.”—bell hooks

I upgraded my Shokz OpenRun Pro to the newest Pro 2 mini model and the difference in audio quality for spoken word, shape of the headphones, and smaller circumference makes them so much better for sleeping in.

'They "move fast" when they "break things" so they're not hit by the falling debris. Similarly, the real race to space, wealth, and whatever the tech titans think they mean by "sovereignty" is less a race toward some vision of techno-utopia than a running away from all the damage and resentment they're trying to leave behind.'
- from Douglas Rushkoff (

All the "AI" products they developed would have been impossible without exploiting the creations and personal information of millions of people without their consent.
This is happening without any compensation for the hard work and data of the people without whom their technology would be impossible.
They are making billions from this exploitation.
Is this something you support?
@Em0nM4stodonEm 
“AI” first exploits people, then kills their jobs. Employees are being forced to train “AI” to take over their jobs. LLMs killed my job. #NoAI

Short musings on "cognitive debt" - I'm seeing this in my own work, where excessive unreviewed AI-generated code leads me to lose a firm mental model of what I've built, which then makes it harder to confidently make future decisions https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/15/cognitive-debt/
