Anti-fluoride mayor of Northland talking on RNZ about all his mercury fillings and how he was poisoned by them as an argument against fluoride in the water, as if he might not have a mouth of rotting teeth if he listened to the overwhelming scientific evidence that fluoride in the water is a good thing for public health.

Thought I'd repost this comic from Thanksgiving 2016

Starmer continues his Harris/Walz 'pivot to the right' and losing votes because of it, like the Dems did.

Starmer doing everything to ensure the Tories and or Reform get in as he abandons the core Labour vote to chase bigoty

And none of us can stop him, none of us will persuade the greater public that attacking the Other is wrong, because Bigots would DIE for their Bigotry and they hate us for being better people.

We are thankful to have reached a labor contract that makes certain our team will receive the wages, benefits, and protections they deserve as they advance EFF's mission of ensuring that technology supports a more just, more free, more thriving world.

@dcz I gave a talk on this "semi-firm firmware" subject and the challenges of free software approaches to it a couple years back at SCALE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xbvMtFLOmE

An irregular reminder: #firmware is a category of #software .

If you advocate for #FreeSoftware but don't talk about #libre firmware, I'm interested I'm learning why you're making the exception.

To conclude, for me sustainability is first and foremost a cultural problem, and we can solve it only through a profound cultural change. Now this is the core of my PhD so, for the sake of everyone here, I will not dig into that, it would be long and tedious and not without major debates.

My dissertation doesn't write itself and my clients' graphics don't design themselves (AI crowd don't dare answer this) so I'll end it here.

Be nice to each other, we need to come together for this fight.

The biggest problem with 'sustainable design' is that the mainstream approach consists in 'how can we both keep the cake and eat it', so we have design magazines like Dezeen praising stuff like 'design student makes a sustainable avocado out of beans', so that millennials like me can keep having avocados all year round without feeling guilty about the exploitative economy of all-year-round available food.

Subjecting myself to the NBC parade as some sort of Puritan penitence ritual.

Here's a "typical Western attitude" that most of us are utterly unaware of: social systems are either hierarchical or horizontal; they either have strong states and laws or they don't.

Actual people, however, living their actual lives in the actual world do not seem to agree with this sentiment, and have never had any problem adapting different ways of interacting at different times of year or different places in the landscape. Political theorists should probably be taking this into account.

Gestern war einer der schönsten Tage meines Lebens. Zusammen mit über 800 Kindern und Gästen der @fsfe hatten wir die Deutschlandpremiere des Films "Ada & #Zangemann - Ein Märchen über Software, Skateboards und Himbeereis". Vielen herzlichen Dank an alle, die das möglich gemacht haben (siehe Filmcredits).

Die verschiedenen Bezugsquellen zum Film: https://ada.fsfe.org/movie

Does anyone know how to increase #audio #cache size in #mpv ?

I have:

mpv https://somafm.com/defcon130.pls --cache-secs=60 --demuxer-max-bytes=4M

and the cache stays around 16s/600KB, meaning the radio stream often cuts out :/

As people may have noticed, we've had some issues with GitLab (repository, issues, merge requests, and documentation are all affected), and the admins have decided to move up the migration day to December 4, 2024:

Ideally, this should bring us back to a stable environment. Stay tuned for more information next week.

"Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and many have no emergency savings—they are one crisis from homelessness. A job loss or an unexpected illness and they are where I am. They are on edge, driving bigger and faster and louder cars—a society speeding along as it disintegrates."
