Hoo boy; it’s mornings like these that make me wish I drank coffee.

Or did lines of coke, but that’s a slightly less acceptable drug than caffeine.

But *something* to be actually awake with instead of cold water would be nice. 😂

five years ago, a box from @Cassius arrived at my flat

can’t believe all the adventures i’ve been blessed to go on with this dork :) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸🇸🇪🇩🇰🇳🇱🇩🇪🇪🇸

Sitting in on Waterloo Region Community Energy ‘s annual forum, Shaping Our Energy Secure Future.

Had no idea how many initiatives are already rolling on decarbonized and sustainable energy in #waterlooregion . Which is probably another tell as to how neglected the residential condo sector is when it comes to access to green building projects. Why are property managers not all over this?

Corporate training: don't do crimes.
Me, a gay person: be gay, do ... umm ... do crimes exclusively on my own time and not using any corporate resources?

Final shout-out for anyone who wants to come heckle me at Tech Mids Conference in Birmingham on Friday afternoon. Plus you get to watch some other amazing speakers from our wonderful tech scene around the Midlands.

brilliant article on the history of Palantir creeping up UK's public infrastructure and how both Tories and Labour have allowed them to do so

I'm seeing ridiculous posts today about Trump once again mentioned in the Epstein Files. We know he's in them. This is not news. This in no way changes the current circumstances surrounding how this is going to go down so I have a response.

The release of the Epstein files in their entirety* will be determined by the Senate. The same Senate that just threw us under the Bus.

The first step, whether it advances or not, will be determined by the republicans up for re-election in the House. If their constituents scream loudly enough then the votes will carry the Bill to the Senate.

Guess what happens there?

Oh and this will not be concluded before everybody goes on year end break. IF everything goes perfectly, we will not see any files until next year.

Democrats have no power here. I'm going to need you to understand this after what just happened. Manage your expectations. This ball is 100% in the GOP's court.

Apologies for the reality check. It does not mean everyone should stop screaming to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

*EDIT for clarification

It feels so good to finally have an IBM 5170 in my collection! I waited a long time until a seller within driving distance offered one at a reasonable price.

It’s CGA, not EGA, but you can’t have everything.

We've got cats in the house! They've available to order now, and we're starting to ship out our backorders! Thx to everyone who ordered and has been patient! We're now soldering up Glowies as they're ordered, so they'll start to ship in 2-3 business days. https://www.alpenglowindustries.com/collections/glowies/products/glowie-cat

Apple must have a patent on aligning all the ports

According to Valve, they managed to run pretty much all x86 games (so far) on their new ARM-based PCs thanks to this FOSS project:

https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX

This runs together with Proton to seamlessly transcode Windows x86 games for Steam OS on ARM. FOSS is THAT cool!

I liked how today's #inkyDays drawing turned out, so I tried it on watercolor paper. And I'm liking how it turned out too.

@blogdiva M$ did this to themselves. So much of the older hardware simply cannot run Win11, and not everyone has the funds to buy a new computer (especially now).

Folks, do something good for the planet: Load Linux on that now-unsupported Win10 box. Keep your computer out of the e-waste stream, and get many more years of use out of it.

- I speak from 20+ years of experience; all of the computers I use run on Linux. The oldest is an IBM ThinkPad T23!

(3/3) The narration also revealed another #Worldbuilding detail; POMME had a time in its history when its members nearly lost everything and had to regain it back: “We've been through so much. We had rivalries we put aside, we lost a lot together, we more than regained it together.”

That’s in reference to the “OS Wars” of the 90’s when Apple nearly met its demise, but rebuilt afterwards and made a comeback. The narration mentions that Chariots of Colors also had a time when its future was uncertain, but that they also made comeback.

However, I intentionally keep specific details about the conflicts during that timeframe vague in Operating Superstars Version 3, whether the hostilities that erupted involved combat or didn’t. Admittedly, I’ve been indecisive about this for Version 3 since the start.

If they didn’t (and I’m leaning towards it not, since I’m still leaning towards Fragments Reloaded covering the “OS Wars as a war” angle), then CC still struggled a lot with an uncertain future and could’ve come close to disbanding from a loss of morale and other losses from strategies that backfired. With that angle, I was thinking about how Apple’s and the Mac’s near demise wasn’t just because of Windows 95 being so successful.

Yesterday, I started updating the wiki with info from the latest chapter, and will still be focusing on that today.

Amores, estamos a punto de entrar en el 80% del Verkami para mandar dinero a asociaciones con acción directa en Palestina. En @Terebimagazine hemos hecho una revistilla, y además se puede donar la cantidad que se quiera (aunque no lleve recompensa) para que cada persona aporte lo que pueda.

Nos ayudáis a conseguirlo? ♥️
Gracias y abrazos para todes

Went to see a superblock in Barcelona. Given how much they feature as urbanism of the future, they are amazingly simple. Take an intersection, block traffic in all four directions and you have a square. Plant trees, add some tables and benches. That's basically it. Replace cars with trees and don't privatize the resulting space. All you need, and all that is usually missing, is political will.

Have you seen nothinghuman.substack.com/p/the-tyrann... ? It's much more explanatory of how we got here than the "enshittification" cycle or malice, in my opinion.

Palantir steht der Weg frei in unsere Sicherheitsbehörden.

Morgen formiert sich deswegen Protest:
13.11. 18:30 Kreuzkirche Nürtingen.

Es will dort eine Veranstaltung mit Winfried Kretschmann und Andreas Schwarz stattfinden.

Lasst sie unsern Unmut hören.
