Under Pete Hegseth, War Minister, U.S. troops were told the war in Iran is for “Armageddon” the return of Jesus Christ. He's telling people this war is all part of God's divine plan and that Trump was advised by God to start it.
Reminds me of this quote from
“American Apocalypse: A History of Modern Evangelicalism” by Matthew Avery Sutton

Über 300 internationale Wissenschaftlerinnen aus dem Bereich IT-Sicherheit und Privatsphäre fordern nun ein Moratorium für jegliche Altersverifikationsinfrastruktur, bis sich die Wissenschaft
über die Vorteile und Nachteile von Technologien zur Altersüberprüfung sowie über die technische Machbarkeit eines solchen Einsatzes einig ist.

On March 26, I'll be hosting a #DefyAI writing workshop in Limon, Colorado.
Attendees will pick out a painting in gallery, and have one hour to write a story inspired by the painting. The only rule: you cannot use any "AI" or other LLMs.
This is a free event. I will talk about how my experiences and values inform my own writing, and I'll be joining the challenge as well.
I'm excited to be working with the Limon Memorial Library on this. https://nantucketlit.com/workshops.html

Wait what, you can't use a *code* editor when you're under 18 now? 🤔
睡不著來看一些歷史資料。昭和40年，日本因為工業化環境污染正嚴重時自動販賣機廠商推出一個奇妙商品，氧氣自動販賣機，投幣能換取一段時間的新鮮氧氣，這真的是很資本主義時代的商品。
人類污染了環境，然後販賣新鮮空氣當商品，1990年代左右我讀過的一本小說叫「怪物」的劇作集裡也有出現過類似的概念，只能說人類的罪孽深重啊🤧
雖然很久了這個劇本集裡讓我印象深刻的故事還有兩個，一個是建設道路，到最後在尋求回家道路的建築師的故事以及散發香氣讓所有人睡著的巨大花的故事。
半吊子的記憶力讓我記得概要，但詳細內容卻沒有完全記住，不過二十五年，竟然讓我記憶模糊，真是讓我感傷。

Four months of Ruby Central moving Ruby backward
From the moment RubyGems was first created in 2004, Ruby Central provided governance without claiming ownership, to support the Ruby community. Providing governance meant creating processes to provide stability and predictability. Avoiding ownership meant allowing the community to contribute, to the point where unpaid volunteers created and controlled the entirety of RubyGems.org for many years. Last year, Ruby Central flipped that successful formula on its head. They now claim ownership of both Bundler and RubyGems, but refuse to provide governance. Ruby Central now claims sole control over all code and decisions, despite paying for only a few percent of the work required to create and sustain the projects across 22 years. Instead of providing stable and predictable processes, Ruby Central suddenly hijacked the Bundler and RubyGems codebases away from the existing maintainers, shut out the community, and started issuing the threats to sue.

Awesome!
I hope my response didn't come off snarky, as that wasn't how I meant it - at worst I intended to be a bit pedantic. And relatable analogies are *always* at my fingertips when talking to the inexperienced or "non-tech" social network users, for sure.
But *eventually* we need to draw people in to a little more media- and tech-literate understanding.
I'm bookmarking your blog post, thanks - this is a topic in my current academic modules and my hoped-for masters capstone
@johannabJohanna, CanCon variant No, not at all snarky. 💕
What is so interesting is to discern between the technical and social, and I think that most people have a very functional-technical perspective of what it means to communicate online, so to say. Consider it merely as extra channels to interact with others, more choice to connect.
But of course our online social network is much more than merely a channel, and we have to 'project our social' somehow over these thin copper and fiberglass wires, while we try to make sense and interpret the social signals that come from other remote places.
I think we underestimate the impact of communicating online, and the narrow 'social bandwidth' that our current networking tools support. Then we translate online situations to how we would behave offline and get wrong expectations, misconceptions, and subequenctly miscommunications.
We are still all youngers online, still all learning the ropes, while we do social networking offline for 1,000's of years already.
“Recreate NextJS. Make no mistakes”
How the BBC chose to report on the US and Israeli attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran:
1. It used “dead” instead of “killed,” softening the violence and removing agency.
2. It relied on passive construction, carefully avoiding naming the perpetrators — the United States and Israel.
3. It added “Iran says,” subtly framing the massacre itself as an allegation rather than an established event.
