My blog has a very basic comment system that uses Mastodon/ActivityPub. It's a bit cumbersome, but I never liked the alternatives like Disqus, because I always feared they would add enshittification at some point. Seems my gut feeling a few years ago was right. ryansouthgate.com/goodbye-disq…

Přišlo mi ochranné sklo od dbrandu. Originální fólie, co instalují přímo v Samsungu, už byla dost jetá a navíc jsem ji poškrábal mikroutěrkou při čištění a už se to nesrovnalo. To jsem myslel, že ani není možné, ale asi tomu trochu pomohla IPA. Co se týče samotné ochrany tak si na ní stěžovat nemůžu. Displej mi vždy přežil.

Nicméně .. "idiot proof installation" skla od dbrandu dostálo svého jména a zatím dobrý. Žádný prach, žádné bublinky, sklo přesně vycentrované.

From the "not everything is bad" department: We are down to 1965 levels of carbon dioxide emissions in the EU, after the high in 1979. We can and must do better, but this is going in the right direction. Source (possibly paywalled): statista.com/statistics/450017…

A new, independent source of news launches tomorrow.

“We are a group of former Guardian and Observer journalists who think our turbulent times call for a different kind of media title: courageous, independent, diverse and built around a community of readers and journalists.

“Our beat will be the subjects we are passionate about: culture, politics and tech. We believe that culture—made by humans for humans—is the best guide to understanding our increasingly chaotic world. So we’re putting it first.

“. . . We are the team behind the 2018 Cambridge Analytica investigation that shifted the world’s understanding of Silicon Valley.”

thank you for the article. 🙂

Is it fine? It might produce safe food, but what are the other effects? Is “spray drift” a bigger or smaller problem with roundup-ready? I know GMO leakage was a problem. GMO’s may be safe to eat, but do they become next year’s weed? Or weeds for neighbouring fields? How much do they mix with non-GMO crops?

I’m ill informed so I appreciate the information, and I want to know more. I learn a lot about farming by following @sarahtaber

Another 1300+ cases of COVID-19 THIS PAST WEEK and 1000+ THE WEEK BEFORE THAT in Québec... and, yet, Québec has aligned itself w/ Alberta to gouge people, if they want the COVID-19 vaccine! Health Canada has made the vaccines available to each province and territory for free... but the CAQ wants to line its pockets, eh. #CAQASTROPHE #scumbags #COVIDISNOTOVER #cdnpoli #polcan #polQC #QCpoli

This is something I’ve seen black folks especially highlight is a belief in a “right to comfort” that upholds white supremacy. That people—especially white people—will only act as long as they don’t experience discomfort. I’ve seen folks unironically say that they think it’s unreasonable for allyship to mean giving up anything. If your allyship only exists within the bounds of your comfort, it is functionally worthless. Growth and change happen outside the comfort zone

Anybody can be accountant or write tax or legal advice advice using vibe working 😒 theverge.com/news/787076/micro…

Me thinks it is just another step to replace and fire human workers from office. That is all. Vibe working my ass.
