Hey #Fulda !
Es gibt einen Termin für den ersten #MapWalk in diesem Jahr 🥳
Infos zum Frühlings #OpenStreetMap -en gibt es hier:
https://osmcal.org/event/4542/
- jeder kann mitmachen - keine Vorkenntnisse sind nötig -
Map on!
Here’s a little something I put together this week: Pinhead Map Icons. I was tired of digging through a bunch of different sources to find good cartographic icons, so I compiled all the public domain sources I could find into one unified set. You’ll see familiar faces from the likes of iD, OSM Carto, and National Park Service maps, plus some newcomers. Let me know what you think!
Premiere was in the middle of the night, but I woke up early to catch the sunrise with Anjunadeep 16: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a47T2qylqWU&list=RDa47T2qylqWU&start_radio=1
We're at #dddmelb this weekend, sponsoring the community hall!
Join us for a sticker swap in the "pink" Collins room to meet the local Melbourne community, and learn about the #pyconau CFP!
Make sure you say hi to the PyCon AU team in their swanky 2026 shirts! 👕 They might just have some exclusive stickers to share that aren't on the table. 🤫
Oh, and one last thing... if you register this weekend you can still snap up one of the last remaining blind bird tickets!

Among the many things Doctorow gets wrong in That Post is this:
"It's not 'unethical' to scrape the web in order to create and analyze data-sets. That's just 'a search engine.'"
Apart from the fact that AI companies are particularly malicious in the way they scrape the web, I'd say we accept search engine scraping mostly on the premise that it's done for the benefit of the scraped sites. There's no such principle of mutual benefit in AI scraping — the AI company gets the value of the data scraped and you get bupkis at best, and possibly DDoS'd

FWIW I really disagree with Cory Doctorow on the "purity culture" thing but I'm not going to get mad about it. The man's job is having takes. He has like fifty takes a day. He is Takes Georg. The vast majority of the takes are fine, and many are actually pretty great. If I had to have that many takes that fast I would have _way_ more terrible takes. I hope he changes his mind on this one but even if not it's fine I don't have to agree with everyone on everything

Sudanese refugees, displaced by the conflict in their home country, wait to collect water. The most recent wave of arrivals from Sudan follows an offensive by the Rapid Support Forces militia group to capture the north Darfur city of El Fasher, where 6,000 people were reportedly killed by the RSF during three days in October.

Sardinia’s ancient masked rite of mamuthones and issohadores – in pictures
From mid-January until the end of carnival, #mamuthones and #issohadores take to the streets of Mamoiada, in the mountainous heartland of Sardinia. This is a time when herders and farmers across the Mediterranean turn to the power of masks to cast off winter and foster the coming of spring.

The mamuthones wear a dark ‘tragic’ mask.

The #issohadores, who are more nimble and faster paced, also use their lassos to try to capture women in the crowd, for whom being lassoed is seen as a good omen and a symbol of fertility.

So, which mask do you wear - a tragic or expressionless one?

No, opposing LLMs isn't "purity culture." I've seen this now from quite a few different people, and I disagree vehemently. It is good, actually, to have moral principles and hold to them, even when people with more money than you find said principles annoying.
Hell, if you disagree with me and think I'm wrong on the merits, then by all means make that argument! (Preferably not in my mentions, I'm tired of this whole debacle and am not personally open to changing my mind on LLMs right now.)
But "purity culture" isn't an argument, it's an appeal to the idea that holding principles is *bad*.

청와대는 컨트롤 타워잖아요. 컨트롤 타워의 사람이 퇴근 안하고 자리에만 앉아있어도 눈치보여서 퇴근 못하는게 한국 조직 문화인데, 밑에 지자체나 일선 기관은 어떨까요. 솔직히 걱정됩니다. 안그래도 초과 근무가 일상화인 곳이 공무원 조직인데, 가장 위에 있는 사람들이 이러면 이건 일상화를 넘어 정당화가 됩니다. 이건 미안하다고 넘어갈 문제가 아닙니다. 위험한 일입니다. 공무원 조직은 우리나라 노동현장의 많은 곳에서 기준선이 되기 때문입니다. 기준선 자체가 기준을 어기고 있는데, 민간영역의 사람들이 그것을 지키려 할까요?

Ursa, a Eurasian lynx, explores her new enclosure at the Big Cat sanctuary in Ashford, Kent. She was rescued from Ukraine, where she had been kept as a pet in ‘appalling conditions’ since she was a kitten, and was suffering from malnutrition, parasites and an infection.
