@JessTheUnstillJess👾 there's a dimension of psychology here, that can't really be glossed over. The OP would be perhaps stated a little differently, to accommodate this psychological dimension:
"People who aren't good with technology first need to develop humility, and turn down the dial of trust in their own emotionally-based (not all that factually-based) intuitions - to select TechBros dead-end technologies - and turn up the dial of trust in favoring those who are good with technology, and aren't the insidious, untrustworthy TechBros"

@carnage4lifeDare Obasanjo This is light on actual mechanics. Federal taxes are collected directly by the Federal government, and you personally face prosecution if you withhold them.
How do you convince every taxpayer in the state to simultaneously commit tax evasion?

Dependabot security alerts have terrible signal-to-noise ratio, especially for Go vulnerabilities. That hurts security!
Just turn it off and set up a pair of scheduled GitHub Actions, one running govulncheck, and the other running CI against the latest version of your dependencies.
Less work, less risk, better results!
Hello Mastodon 👋
I'm rogi.
I have a 2014 ThinkPad. I run a blog with €5/month. Zero cloud.
I read privacy policies so you don't have to.
Last month: an AI had a 24KB psychological profile built from my conversations. Last week: my passport went through 17 US companies just to get a LinkedIn badge. Nobody mentioned that.
That's what I write about. Not paranoia, just what's actually in the documents.
LLM bullshit
"The Go team debates AI-generated contributions", that's nice but there's probably no real debate. A lot of the Go team work at Google, and Google has very likely mandated that everyone use LLMs to 'help' with programming and made them part of performance reviews.
The same is true for major corporate contributions to any FOSS project. Don't accept LLM stuff? Either people lie or you lose those corporate contributions, take your pick. (I pick the second, but that's a hard sell.)

Hot take, so controversial it counts as trolling: all notifications should default "off". Anything that can interrupt or distract the person using a computer or other device should be explicitly turned on by that person.
There are exceptions for things that can cause serious harm if ignored. "You've got mail" is not an exception. Neither is "someone liked your social media post".

This conference paper template overhaul for 
@ecscw2026 was a huge (by my standards) LaTeX project.
Love and respect to Saturnino Luz, the author of the 2006 template, which remained untouched up to 2025. A revamp was overdue. The new template uses current-decade LaTeX features to make document metadata more accessible and searchable, add alt text to figures, and integrate services like 
@ORCID_OrgORCID Organization.
The @ecscw2026 account will probably post about more of these improvements over time.
Sneak peek into our upcoming episode of #HiddenFiguresofPython!

What I'm listening to today: "Down With Silent Night", Irena and Vojtech Havlovi
From 1992, a married couple playing a duet on piano and cello. Feels like a movie score both in the 10,000-foot atmospheric vibes and the weird echoey way the cello is recorded. It's gorgeous, "evocative" and *slow* in a beautifully deliberate way, with chord changes minutes apart. It's also half an hour long so sincere suggestion: Hit stop at 19:41 exactly. That's where I would have cut.

What I'm listening to today: Butt music from hell, Hieronymus Bosch
Around 1500 CE Bosch painted "The Garden of Earthly Delights", an epic triptych of surreal scenes concluding in Hell. In the hell scene, a naked man has a fragment of musical notation painted on his ass. In 2014 a blogger named Amelia Hamrick transcribed it and a YouTuber named James Spalink recorded this ghostly version on period instruments. What Hell left unfinished the Internet has completed
Particle physics is facing a crisis: we’ve found the particles that were staring us in the face, but many more theories are proving elusive to prove or disprove. Using autoencoders and unsupervised AI, scientists hope to comb through data more quickly to unearth hidden patterns. https://spectrum.ieee.org/particle-physics-ai?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

Hi folks -- I am pleased to announce the public release of Tetro Domain, a small #pico8 strategy game playable on desktop web and mobile: https://puleo.itch.io/tetrodomain
As I mentioned in a previous post, this game is built around the concept of the strategy-stealing argument: its rules have been designed so that there is a nonconstructive proof that the first player always has a winning strategy on any board the game can generate. As the proof is nonconstructive, it does not actually provide any indication of what the winning strategy *is* -- but I believe it ends up being an interesting little strategic challenge to work out the winning strategy that is guaranteed to exist.
The computer opponent you play against is not *especially* strong, but I've found it to be strong enough to sneak out the occasional win against me if I let my guard down. I'm biased, of course, but I've found playing it on mobile especially to be an entertaining way to get a quick strategy fix within a couple of minutes.
I think that *probably* the strategy-stealing argument could be pushed much further to a game with more complexity than this game has -- this design is fairly simple but I'm quite pleased with how it came together.
Nachdem wir in Deutschland aktiv die #Solarindustrie kaputt gemacht haben, politisch die Weichen gegen #Elektromobilität und für Verbrenner gestellt haben, lassen wir nun auch die heimische Industrie für #Wärmepumpen sterben und überlassen auch hier wieder alles China.
Alles Schritte in die falsche Richtung.
"Wie bei Solar und E-Autos: China greift jetzt auch bei den Wärmepumpen an"
