Abstract. Since Brehm first proposed reactance theory in 1966, many studies have explored the remarkable psychological phenomenon of reactance, which Miron and Brehm reviewed in 2006. We present an overview of research that has been done since then.PubMed Central (PMC)

An artistic protest action in Jerusalem marking 100 days since the hostages were taken captive. The message was βStop everything. Bring them all backβ.
We walked down the street with β100 daysβ signs taped to our clothes and at a given moment everyone froze in place. After 15 minutes we started chanting βNow. Now. Nowβ¦β (meaning βbring them home nowβ or βdeal nowβ) for several minutes. We repeated these steps twice.

#PDFs are a real problem for #accessibility. They are also a real challenge for any government working to provide a modern, digital experience for their citizens.

Hey Denver peeps/companies: want to sponsor an international conference that's coming to Denver, CO with potentially hundreds of open source developers, maintainers, designers, and community folks?
Check it out β events.gnome.org/event/209/pagβ¦
#Denver #DenverCO #Colorado #OpenSource #FOSS #FLOSS #GNOME #GUADEC #GUADEC2024 #Linux
A reminder that in order to do these thingsβto host contributors and have those exceptionally-valuable talks, workshops and hallway chatsβwe *need* sponsorships from companies that can afford it!
The GNOME Foundation is a non-profit that exists to provide a legal framework and governance around GNOMEβs activities, but itβs also not some endless coffer of cash (there are annual financial reports that tell you that!).
And this is open to more than just Denver-based companies; anyone can sponsor!
If you work for an organization using, contributing to, or interested in the success of GNOME or related technologies, ask if they can sponsor #GUADEC2024!
Sponsors get:
β’ Brand visibility across the event w/an international audience
β’ International recognition in photos, streams, and recordings
β’ Increased sustainability of GNOME tech
β’ Great access to a potential talent pool
β’ The satisfaction of helping a non-profit open source project

Good news: AI will not be possible without a breakthrough in energy production, like nuclear fusion. It seems humanity will not be destroyed by evil AI as long as we don't invent nuclear fusion.
Bad news: the AI tech bros see this as a reason to invest into nuclear fusion.
news18.com/tech/openai-ceo-samβ¦
CC @gerrymcgovern
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes a breakthrough in energy is essential for the future of AI, which is expected to require more power than initially thought.News18
there is another problem: nuclear fusion could solve climate change, does that mean we will get AI when we get clean energy and solve climate change?
Better AI will lead to more better phishing and identity theft scams and the people will be vulnerable to authoritarians that promise to solve it with digital identity, which could very well become a nightmare.
I'd bet the companies offering to solve the problem are the same ones that created it.
@treefit
The thing I don't think folks quite get about their current assessment of LLMs is that the only reason they're so cheap is that major sources of capital are subsidizing them outrageously. OpenAI, for example, loses money hand over fist to its customers. Google's commitment to 0 cost LLM API calls is also a massive cost center.
Like Uber, that can't continue forever.

in reply to Robin van der Linde π³οΈβπ • • •Always fun trying to get detailed landuse for mixed-use buildings, also came across an interesting one for tagging: a shop selling (ethically sourced) animal hides (now tagged as shop=interior_decoration).
Also one of the reasons why I love mapping, you see something new every time.

in reply to Robin van der Linde π³οΈβπ • • •Different place for this time, a small nearby village. Finally aligned most of the roads, some were off by about 5m, polished up the landuse and did some other minor touch-ups. Also spotted this interesting 'bridge'-like road near the start of a 30-zone, almost looks like traffic calming.
