Twitter users are all like “I don’t know if I can trust a bunch of career sysadmins and network engineers to run their own Mastodon instances” — meanwhile Elon is just running around the Twitter data center going “what’s this button do?”

@ldbeth do you have deep emacs commentary for me?

I'd argue it is quite hard if not even impossible to do research in #quantum communication without involving Chinese researchers. What do you think?

Redoing my #Introduction since I’m on a new server.

Hi! After studying chemistry, I’ve spent the last twenty five years in IT, first as a #Web1.0 programmer and #sysop during the 90’s, then in #itsupport and #dataanalyst roles this century.

I read “My Side of the Mountain” and “The Mysterious Island” as a kid and have always been fascinated with a diy approach to civilization: #camping, #gardening, #hamradio, and #brewing.

I am a #Quantum Applications #Scientist in industry. I spend my days understanding the nooks and crannies of quantum hardware and designing software algorithms that enable quantum computers to approach various industrial and scientific problems.

I am also an avid break baker :)! I mill my own flour and everything.

My first post here. Tipping my toes into the water. I'm in my 8th year of being disabled by #mecfs. Interested in research and others with #mecfs and also #LongCovid.

They did resp. decided WHAT?

"With a credit of 200 euros, the [German] federal government wants to encourage young people to experience culture locally" (📻 news)

Applause! 👍

I’ve learned from @dries that it’s rather easy to host your own Mastodon server.

(For example at @mastohost; currently no new subscriptions though.)

That this fits into what @aral calls “the small web”. https://ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-small-web/

I am very much considering this. 20 years ago I registered the domain name “verbeeld.be” (meaning “imagine/d”) and use it for mail and weblogging. Why not use it for tooting too?

In 261 Tagen Krieg in der Ukraine hat China noch keinmal öffentlich Kritik am russischen Angriff geübt. Jetzt bezeichnete es seine Beziehungen zu Russland sogar als unumstößlich. Die beiden Länder seien "umfassende strategische Partner".
Ukraine-Krieg: China - Beziehungen zu Russland "felsenfest"

After all, if "fiscal conservativism" fails, then the rich will struggle to find people willing to camp out for a week to get them a spot at the front of the line for Hamilton tickets and vaccines:

The alliance of the wealthy and cruel with the religious and cruel means that anyone who thwarts forced-birth laws needs to fear both private and state retribution, and must take steps to evade ubiquitous surveillance from the merger of ad-tech and policing.
