if you compare an upstream package starting to use a new dependency (Rust) with someone hitting you over and over, you need to quit. seriously.

the Linux distribution model of software distribution is outdated and I find it more of an obstacle to overcome than a contributor to my life. it needs to be either improved or replaced. if you can't do either of that, I'm okay with you doing absolutely nothing

Statues Come Alive (12 Photos)

STREET ART UTOPIA @streetartutopia@streetartutopia.com

Some statues are made to be admired from a distance. The best ones practically dare you to jump into the scene. From a superhero showdown in Guadalajara to a giant troll bridge in Wyoming, these playful works prove public sculpture gets even better when people become part of it. Here are 12 brilliant works that fit “Playing With Statues” perfectly — including 4 picks from StreetArtUtopia’s Street Artists archive! 🪢 The Infinite Tug-of-War — Counterpoint in Salt Lake City, Utah […]

전에 한 번 언급했지만 ‘인스타그램에 해시태그 달아서 포스팅하면 음료 하나 제공‘도 엄밀하게는 뇌물이고 여론 조작입니다. 너무 이런 것에 대해 경각심이 없죠.

This blog post recently crossed my timeline. blogs.gentoo.org/mgorny/2026/0 It talks about burnout among FOSS maintainers, which is an important subject.

It saddens me, though, that the author called out Rust alongside generative AI as a contributor to their own burnout as a distro maintainer, going back to the Python cryptography package's adoption of Rust in 2021. Is there anything that we who use and promote Rust can do about this, or is Rust just too at odds with the norms of Linux distros?

오늘 외출에서 독일생활 내내 희미하게 존재를 알고 있었지만 무엇인지 찾아볼 생각은 하지 않았던 Kegelbahn 경기를 우연하게 지켜볼 수 있었다. 할머니 할아버지들이 모여서 왁자지껄하게 취미활동을 하는 것도 보기가 좋았고, 넋을 놓고 구경하는 어린이들을 잠시 불러다가 어떻게 하는 놀이인지 강의를 해주는 상냥함도 보기가 좋았고, 핀을 다 넘어뜨렸을 때 두 팔을 벌리고 환호하는 에너지도 생생하게 느낄 수 있었다. 케겔 운동이랑은 아무 상관도 없는 거더라.

中国のAIモデルに見られる“自己検閲”とは何か? 研究で見えてきたその実態

WIRED.jp @wired.jp@web.brid.gy

中国のAIモデルは、米国のモデルよりも政治的な質問を避けたり、不正確な回答をしたりする傾向が強いことが研究で示された。同時に、その“検閲”がどのような仕組みで生じているのかを解明することの難しさも浮き彫りになった。

The argument that capitalists are needed to provide workers with means of production, and profit is their reward for doing so, is nonsense.

All capitalists have are paper or digital claims on the right to allocate means of production or material resources. All of the actual material resources -- means of production and raw materials -- are entirely the product of labor acting on free gifts of nature.

The entire point at issue is the legitimacy of the process by which capitalists happen to be in possession of those paper or digital claims, and how workers come to be dependent on those claims. Why, instead of groups of workers simply acting on the free gifts of nature, advancing streams of material resources to one another, and using a simple unit of account to track the balance of these advances of material resources and who owes what to whom, do they have to go to someone who is in possession of stockpiles of these imaginary paper claims?

Why are capitalists able to interpose themselves between groups of workers, and create the illusion that they are "providing" something when they are in fact simply controlling a toll gate?

The problem is the myth that money is a "thing," some sort of commodity with an independent existence and value of its own, when in fact it is simply a unit of measurement like an inch or a pound. We have a money and credit system based on the myth that a certain class of people must accumulate a pile of paper claims and then "lend" credit "against" them -- a "service" for which they are entitled to payment.

It's as nonsensical as the idea that, in order to cut lumber and build something, a carpenter must first find someone in possession of a pile of inches who can provide them. Imagine all the wasted resources, all the impeded production, if such a bizarre state of affairs actually existed. Imagine how much housing would go unbuilt, how much food would go uneaten, if before the carpenter could saw lumber or the butcher could weigh a cut of meat they had to go to the owner of a supply of inches or pounds and pay tribute for using them. There would be an entire class of people whose incomes came from such tribute for not impeding production. Great amounts of use-value would go unproduced despite the producers having the labor and materials required for production, for want of enough money to pay for the inches and pounds. The owners of inches and pounds would use their revenue to pay for still more inches and pounds, continuing to concentrate the ownership of them, so that they could charge higher and higher prices. There would be great accumulations of inches and pounds, far more than could be used, and equally great amounts of labor and material resources going idle, because producers could not afford the inches and pounds needed to put their labor and materials to use.

This is the world we live in.
