"It would start losing money very quickly."
FYI that's exactly what #bluesky is doing. They are spending VC money and have no business model. As they both stand, #mastodon is sustainable. BS is not. Apples vs oranges. But they have the hype machine coming out of Twitter, hiding/avoiding the decentralization and the VC money enables. Sometimes the "smart people" either are not, live in a bubble or are lying. But sure we're the assholes for correcting the record.

Air pollution can drive devastating forms of dementia, research suggests
Airborne particles cause toxic clumps of proteins in brain that are hallmarks of Lewy body dementia, study indicatesIan Sample (The Guardian)
"Led by the economist Francisco Rodriguez at the University of Denver, the study calculates the total number of excess deaths associated with international sanctions from 1970 to 2021.
The results are staggering. In their central estimate, the authors find that unilateral sanctions imposed by the US and EU since 1970 are associated with 38 million deaths. In some years, during the 1990s, more than a million people were killed. In 2021, the most recent year of data, sanctions caused more than 800,000 deaths.
According to these results, several times more people are killed by sanctions each year than are killed as direct casualties of war (on average, about 100,000 people per year). More than half of the victims are children and the elderly, people who are most vulnerable to malnutrition. The study finds that, since 2012 alone, sanctions have killed more than one million children.
Hunger and deprivation are not an accidental by-product of Western sanctions; they are a key objective. This is clear from a State Department memo written in April 1960, which explains the purpose of US sanctions against Cuba. The memo noted that Fidel Castro – and the revolution more broadly – enjoyed widespread popularity in Cuba. It argued that “every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba,” by “denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government”."

Minneapolis, MN: The East Phillips Neighborhood Institute (EPNI) and the Climate Justice Committee rallied outside of the Roof Depot on August 16 calling for Mayor Frey to quit "stonewalling" the purchase agreement process.
They would like Frey and the city to accept the $10.2 million offer before the September 15 deadline.
CJ McCormick of the Climate Justice Committee urged everyone to pressure Jacob Frey via his public phone number to accept the deal.
I'm going to start collecting art....people using hand drawn or written text. Art for the people by the people. I'll find more words for this, but it is not canva and not graphics.
I'm seriously impressed by the Sound Bath guy's pencil and watercolor business card assemblageon the Bulletin board.
Painted public pianos also kinda fit into this. They are public art pianos, not really protected from the elements.
Maybe it's my protest about needing to have everything look like the human element has been erased, and a "Professional look" that is soulless...

Do you know what Ontario's vaccine registry was for the longest time? A little yellow paper card that you took with you.
Sounds like not much has changed. It's time to digitize our vaccine registry!!
@SnowyCA
Those yellow cards were/are hopeless in Ontario.
The system is impossibly dysfunctional and puts the onus on the families to keep the cards up to date and communicate between health practitioners and public health.
Even families that are well resourced and hyper organized could not stay on top and make sure things were recorded. Least resourced families would be in a better situation if there was a single common data base.
The likelihood of actually having the card available to be recorded in when vaccination take place was vanishingly low.
Especially difficult when our kids got some vaccinations at the family practice or children’s hospital ‘just when they’re there’, at the pharmacist or at school vaccination clinics.
There were times for both our kids where we were in an endless loop between public health, the schools, the pediatrician and the family practice trying to figure out whether one gave them had middle school updates or not.

Trump blows up a boat in international waters. The charred remains of evidence that would prove they were a threat, is at the bottom of the ocean. Convenient.
Trump is the judge, jury, and executioner?
Trump lies constantly. Rubio is escalating the rhetoric. Hegseth sent warships to the region. Trump wants regime change in Venezuela.
Is this a distraction from the Epstein files?

Markdown Is a Disaster: Why and What to Do Instead

in reply to Karl Voit • • •Alright this^ will be live in 8 hours. If you will be asleep, leave questions and comments for me to ask @publicvoit here!
I wrote this fallback sketch of ideas
- #emacs and #orgmode seem almost synonymous
- Outside emacs users, projects add a #markdown flavor instead
- #IDE
- Implications of #orgDown (#orgUp ?) having a built-in major mode
- #git READMEs
- non-emacs #org support (#commonLisp cl-org-mode , cl-el ..), elisps like @ramin_hal9001 #schemacs , #lem
(thanks @sacha's #emacsnews)

in reply to screwlisp • • •I've had the idea that the loved-and-hated #commonLisp #formattedOutput is basically markdown except all control characters are escaped using ~, and instead of repeating the control characters for different levels, Common lisp's formatted output takes parameters between the ~ and control character.
@publicvoit @ramin_hal9001 @sacha

in reply to screwlisp • • •On this topic, there was a classic article I think from Berkeley about how no-one should ever use #commonLisp's #format. Does anyone have a link for it? I couldn't search it on ddg (search engines are all worthless now).

Why do you think that format is like markdown? It is organized as a pair (template . args), while markdown has inline formatting syntax.
Eliminating FORMAT
cs-www.cs.yale.eduElias Mårtenson
in reply to Daniel Kochmański • • •@jackdaniel I couldn't disagree with that article more.
Java originally didn't have format strings. You have to do things almost exactly like how the article showed it:
Eventually, people couldn't stand this anymore, and they got a format statement which borrowed a lot from C:
Turns out that distinguishing the way you want to format things with the data you want to format is good thing.
He then goes into a strawman showing some really complicated FORMAT patterns, and then write a lot of code that I certainly don't understand (because I didn't learn his API). He didn't need to implement a new library, because if he needed it, WITH-OUTPUT-TO-STRING is right there.
Daniel Kochmański
in reply to Elias Mårtenson • • •@loke I don't have any strong opinion here, but I find the tone of the essay bad.
I certainly have some issues with format, but they are mostly about extensibility (or rather that it is impractical) and that it poorly composes with the pretty printer.
Another interesting thing I rather miss is interpolation, like in cl-interpol.
