吃飽了閒著,就在燈會快結束前去看了晚上的燈會。很多人說今年的主燈秀很好看,但我只能說以「極光下的嚕嚕米」這主題來說,乾冰泡泡跟光線弄得氣氛很好,可是馬戲表演跟主燈有點不搭,然後主燈秀結束之後,主燈是暗的,好歹也亮一下燈啊!一堆人都以為划船的嚕嚕米是主燈啊!😆

最後一張照片裡的花燈是樂成宮提供的,原來姆明谷裡有月老廟ㄛ!😂

🌕 與陌生人交談的祕訣:如何開啟對話及為何你應該這麼做
➤ 當社會習慣性沉默,我們正在喪失的關鍵能力
theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2
本文透過兩則日常際遇,探討現代社會逐漸消失的陌生人互動文化。作者在火車上與年長婦人的對話,以及在餐廳與服務員的閒談,引發其子對「社交邊界」的提問。文中分析社交退縮的多重因素:科技防護(耳機、手機)、疫情遺留的社交距離、第三空間消逝等,並引用神經科學家警告Z世代認知能力衰退、心理學家提出「全球關係衰退」現象。作者強調陌生人交流是需練習的基礎社交技能,其價值在於強化社會連結與自我認同。
+ 深有同感!上週在超市排隊時主動和長輩聊天,對方眼眶泛淚說整天沒人說話,科技進步反而讓人更孤獨
+ 理想化觀點忽略現實安全顧慮,尤其都會區隨機搭話可能引發戒備,作者應更考量城市環境差異

Been thinking about someone's observation that one of the reasons so many people do so much in Excel is that it's actually a *phenomenally* observable programming system and lets people do things they otherwise couldn't.

I think, on much reflection, that this is 100% true. A lot of the bad things that people do in Excel are due to its lack of support for doing things better, but the observability? Top tier, with the next few tiers underneath it completely empty.

In space year 2026, it is *still* illegal to rip a CD you bought with your own money to play the resulting MP3s (or whatever) on your computer. That is not considered fair use.

But if the UK government gets its way (and it will – it has a massive majority, despite winning only a third of the popular vote), AI companies eating all of our creative work for free, forever, soon will be.

Fuck off, Labour.

Sixteen years ago we landed in Canada, a place we had never been before, with a few suitcases and our two cats Daniel and Björk.

So many people - so many! - told us it was the biggest mistake, everything was going to be horrible, that we were nuts. Maybe we were. Not saying it was particularly easy but these have been the best sixteen years of my life. Easier than it was before for sure.

I’m very thankful for everything and a very proud Canadian today. And Toronto is a wonderful city ❤️🇨🇦

A Dubai based hedge-fund executive has said to the FT:

No one knew 'you were getting exposed to geopolitics when moving to Dubai. It was not a consideration. People have moved families. This element of concern is new'!

Given the Hedgies are supposed to be the smart guys, how did they miss the Middle East is suffused with global oil politics, and that it has been unstable politically for generations....

Oh that's right; low taxes, folks... it'll all be fine

Again, there is no "age verification", there is only "identity verification", and "identity verification at the OS level" means specifically that there is no such thing as free software in any inclusive, democratic sense and no such thing as "computer ownership" in any way that involves meaningful choice.

Does anyone I follow work at Meta, or know someone that does? I created an account for my pizza business last night and it got disabled within the hour. I appealed, was unsuccessful and the account is now permanently disabled.

I could just create a new account, but I don't know what community standards I violated, I did almost nothing in the account and I don't want to risk a new account getting banned too, along with instagram etc.

Retoots appreciated.

I've been increasingly concerned about the corporate monopoly over frontier LLMs. While many ethically-minded people choose to boycott these models, I believe passive resistance alone cannot break the structural grip of big tech. To truly “liberate” these technologies and turn them into public goods, we need to look beyond moral high grounds and engage with the material basis of AI—specifically compute, data, and the relations of production.

I've written two posts exploring this through the lens of historical materialism. The first piece analyzes why current “open source” definitions struggle with LLMs, and the second discusses what it means to “act materialistically” in our imperfect world. My goal is to suggest a path forward that moves from mere boycotting to a more proactive, structural socialization of AI infrastructure.

If you've been feeling uneasy about the AI landscape but aren't sure if boycotting is the final answer, I'd love for you to give these a read:
