Unboxed my book today! It's about municipal garbage collection, American political development, governance, corruption, inequality. Garbage collection can seem mundane, but it's political.

This talk on ESP-Lisp, an efficient Lisp implementation for the $2 ESP-8266 microcontroller with wifi, gives me hope in these dark times. If I had time and didn't have a pile of personal projects that need to first be polished up and push out the door already, I'd totally work on a minimal activity pub service for one of these: https://youtu.be/Lf03mxLDYa4

The new, sensible and definitely not petulant twat-directed #Twitter rules that prohibit the posting of anything that exposes a person's location in real time seem to me to mean that anyone mentioning the name of someone on TV or at a sport or other event that is live should be suspended. In fact, for anyone with a Twitter account it should be a social duty to report anyone talking about any live events and mentioning a person's name. You know, to stop the danger.

In 2020, Elsevier teamed up with Wiley and the American Chemical Society to sue the sites again, this time in Delhi; the case is ongoing, but seems likely to go the publishers’ way. Yet shadow libraries remain effectively impossible to prosecute, let alone abolish'

Very informative video on what #cars (and mainly #parking) do to your city. In this case #Amsterdam and, at the end of the vid, what the parking for (only) 400 cars next to the #Bijenkorf does do to the city centre (hint: a hell-u-v-a-lot-of-cars) https://youtu.be/mXLqrMljdfU by #NotJustBikes
