Together talking we can do it (using DM is more private).
Separate and one-way public broadcast doesn't work against Capitalism.
YOU and I are imperfect - NO problem with that ! - This is the "Best we can do" ! Just get better at whatever I can give you!
☼ Freedom work (Free work for you) + #Friendship hopefully

If money, storage space, practicality, common sense, and many other things weren’t factors, I -not a superfluous vehicle type of person, generally- would love to have one of these stashed in the garage for the three or four days a year where it’d be possible to use it. Just tooling along at a leisurely pace, possibly towing 60 to 80 kids and their adults behind on makeshift cardboard sleds as they each in turn latch onto a line one of them somehow affixed to the back
➡️ @remindme bot for posts!
It can remind you about a post in in a few minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years later.
To use it, just mention the bot's account + the time you want to be reminded (for example "1 week").
If you want the reminder to be private, include the phrase "dm" as well. If you do that, the bot will send you your reminder by a private mentions post.

Well folks I've had my mind changed. I had said that I would wait and see on federating with Threads but after reading this excellent article (https://erinkissane.com/untangling-threads) its clear that Meta is unwilling to moderate their content and should be suspended. Previously I thought the issue was allow users to opt-out of their data being seen by Meta but Threads is allowing real harm to occur we simply shouldn't network with them.
If you're a pdx.social user and feel otherwise please DM me.

Me, realizing I’ve used Apache (the http server) for ~25 years and nginx for ~15 years and I really dislike both of them.

The whole treating of peaceful protestors as criminals is fucked up.
Also adding cops to almost any protest seems to greatly increase the chance of violence.

"The Reddit IPO is one of the biggest swindles in corporate history, where millions of unpaid contributors made billions of posts so that CEO Steve Huffman could make $193 million in 2023 while laying off 90 people and effectively pushing third party apps off of the platform by charging exorbitant rates for API access"

🚨 I'm looking for a person or group to take over the running of pdx.social. I've been running the site since 2017 and I'd like to pass it on. If you're interested please reach out and please boost. 🚨

@freeformz @tedder @foozmeat I’d be in to lend a hand as well. Many hands make light work and all.

"This paper studies the constitutive role of cartography apropos law, territory, and social order, in a specific historical context, by examining the crucial political role played by the British East India Company's cartographic practices and maps in aspiring and imagining the transplantation and establishment of English sovereignty in the Indian subcontinent."
Suresh, S. (2024) ‘The Cartojuridism of the British East India Company’, Law and History Review, pp. 1–30. doi: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0738248024000051.

#Petrolette vs. FeedBro
QUESTION + MINI-REVIEW
#Privacy #FOSS #NewsFeed #French #Français #SelfHosting
===========
❓ QUESTION ❓
===========
Considering both software were the same functionally, then I guess you'd take the non-extension one right?... if the implementation wasn't too offending in non-extension version?
=================
Pétrolette RSS reader -
https://petrolette.space/
=================
█1/█ I like the idea you can visit one website to get what you want without extensions (Any bare-bones browser lets you use the RSS reader)
AND
█2/█ work / settings are saved *in the browser* !
I like these two, mostly because of how industry can rug-pull whenever they decide (or put money into it) to render any browser useless / near-extinct or at least it's extensions by switching the extensions standard, calling it unsafe or some other way to glitch it all or say no to what is amazing and they want locked out so that some work and some don't...
Something about that basic browser window makes it "browser proof" and falls into "longevity" rather than "oh this was amazing 2 years ago and now they changed it"
=================
Feedbro extension:
https://nodetics.com/feedbro/
=================
Didn't use yet but will get round to it... or just trust it's as simple or good as advertised (for now)...
The picture they use (also used for this post) is extreme compelling how strong and well RSS can work...
#Petrolette (Just Browser) vs
#FeedBro ( Needs #Extension )
Alex Jones - a good actor - occasionally good points within whole context often being wrong...
Alex Jones- more convinced he's an actor (and good one) after he managed to shake hands in court with those he said were pretending about their reactions to their children in the massacre (or something close to that with Sandy Hook trial). Takes some nerve.
He can switch it on and off really well which is key to being a good presenter or actor. Even maybe we all do this in real life (at work, school, home, all acts or personalities we sort-of must learn to present or must fit inside) unless you let the truth be show more often....
PICTURE I EDITED
So I did a picture edit from video, in honour of that (sort of)...

"The ultimate goal, I suggest, was a translatio imperii; the establishment of an imperial monarchy in the west that could rival the Habsburg empire, and which in time, perhaps, might even come to imitate the universal glory of the Roman imperium. Not the American Atlantic seaboard, but rather the continent of Europe, with its arms, its learning, and its treasure, was the goal of Bacon’s early imperial vision."
Serjeantson, R. (2024) ‘Francis Bacon, colonisation, and the limits of Atlanticism’, History of European Ideas, pp. 1–14. doi: https://doi.org/10.1080/01916599.2024.2338341.

Obsessions of 'Latest and Greatest' and continual "Upgrading" is not unhealthy / has it's limits / can be without logic other than consumerism and parts of "nothing else better to do" than play with this electronic box constantly.

I also refreshed what I’m calling the “pkg_dump” of #slackware #aarch64 package builds yesterday. There’s a shit-ton of stuff there, like a full gnome 46 desktop, and the latest Firefox 125.0.1, MAME, i3, sway, hyprland, etc. https://slackware.lngn.net/pub/aarch64/pkg_dump/

Experts deep in 1 rabbit holes are not good and not bringing the mass with them as part of their daily "conversion" or result...

No amount of money or knowledge or invention will help if it's on it's own.
The users / people are the weak link... look how they use the internet for example...
So all that from ground-up or expert-down needs better aligned to use the abilities from all the pyramid of people / hierarchy (and use their interests) so movements can / should grow better and more fully so it's not shallow expertise...
#Longform better than short only (using CW for both Short and Long version!)
#CoryDoctorow #pluralistic #Writing
Someone write about this
Or let me know if someone has written something decent on longform / long / "splained" versions.
Short work are like short-cuts and cut out the stuff lesser-gods needed in human learning / balance (even the unwanted emotional stuff dealt with more people to accept everyone's learning or has levels).... but not to cut them off or isolate them.
Yes you can have certain levels but the price / gate is often too high to jump just to get in!
That's no good for movements to grow...
