Margaret Thatcher, PM of the UK through the 1980s, was infamous for saying that there is no such thing as society, just individuals.
Which is a bit like saying there's no such thing as a city, only individual buildings. Or, there's no such thing as the fediverse, only individual accounts.
But there's a more subtle way that neoliberals express Thatcher's disbelief in society. By arguing against the ideal of the fediverse as a common carrier, open to everyone.
Those who argue for opt-in federation between services (eg the opt-in forced on BridgyFed), rather than interop being the default. Those who argue for mass blocking of this or that service, not because of the behaviour of the people using them, but because we don't like the company that owns them. Those who believe in the fediverse as an ocean separating islands of like-minded people, instead of a way to explore and encounter people thinking thoughts we never knew were possible.
These people too are arguing against the idea of a society larger than themselves, and their in-group.
That's not to say that all Muting/ Blocking is wrong or anything silly like that. Just that they should be a last resort, considered case-by-case (collectively as well as individually), not the default. Because a connection with this larger social space, and the opportunities for learning and collaboration it brings, is the whole point of online social network tools.

Tomorrow is Ollie's birthday. I think he'll be six. OMG. Here's a photo from 2022 with his then-favorite toy before he destroyed it.
I am sure there are other dogs who love humans as much as he does, but he ranks very high. If I walked up to a total stranger and started kissing them all over the face, I'd be in BIG trouble. Ollie does it and people's self-esteem goes up 500% in seconds. He's a walking ball of love. ❤️

The deed is done. Letzter Task bei Datenbankumzug und -rekonstruktion in @darktable erledigt. Nach vielen Jahren ist #Lightroom bei mir nun Geschichte. Ich muss auf einigen Luxus verzichten, ein paar Kompromisse eingehen und musste zwei wesentliche Funktionen nachkaufen, aber das Kerngeschäft (#RAW-Entwicklung) beherrscht #darktable ganz hervorragend. Für den Übergang nahm ich mir einige Monate Zeit, noch ist der Workflow etwas zäher, aber für ein Hobby kann ich damit leben.
Kannst du deine ganzen bisherigen Fotos aus Lightroom nach @darktable importieren? Und bleiben dabei dann auch alle angewendeten Aktivitäten / Filter erhalten?
@geco_de Ja, alle Bilder werden übertragen (außer bei proprietär angereicherten DNGs) und in die DT-Library aufgenommen, inkl. Metadaten aus den Bildern oder den XMP-Sidecars, die Lightroom hoffentlich angelegt hat. Aber Bildeinstellungen und Filter werden NICHT übernommen! Ausentwickelte RAWs musst Du als hochaufgelöste JPEGs / TIFF exportieren und mitübertragen, also am besten parallel zum LR-Original wieder in den gleichen Ordner re-importieren. Sonstiges: bildung.social/@TeachrDigital/…
@Erutario@norden.social Moin, das würde ich neulich schon mal gefragt. Habe noch nichts dazu geschrieben und auch keine Infrastruktur dafür (kein Blog), aber es juckt mich tatsächlich in den Fingern (früher nebenher extrem viel geschrieben, auch Büch…
@geco_de Lohnt sich! Wobei solche Urteile gerade in dem Bereich höchst subjektiv sind. Tipp: Statt direkt die vorhandenen Bilder in die DT-Lib zu übernehmen (das braucht sehr viele Überlegungen und Vorbereitungen in LR), würde ich eher mal mit Bildbearbeitung und RAW-Workflow anfangen. Viel Einlesen, viele Videos fürs Konzept. Erst wenn Du beschlossen hast, dass Du damit leben kannst (auch mit Kompromissen und Defiziten), würde ich die Lib übertragen.
Saw this at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens today. Even amongst all the orchids it commanded attention. A sign around the corner revealed it to be a "bat flower".
Missed my alarm this morning and got to the soccer game 5 mins after it started instead of 40 mins before... But we won the first game 2-0 and my son initiated the second goal from a clearance deep in our backfield. so we are doing OK. Hanging out in a parking lot with the AC on until 2:15 or so. Its hot but not as hot as last week.
I’m kind of worried about the next few days because I think we are headed towards some gigantic West Coast heat dome most of it’s in the Oregon Washington area but yeah..

So now I need to set up mariadb but I can't figure out what the cli command is. though I got mycli installed... but how do I get connected as root and create users and dbs and tables?
It should be some sort of standard sequel command line. My recollection or assumption would be that the command line interface is somewhat standardized so say whatever MySQL had.
I'm making a helper circuit for my LED lamp project. This I can reuse when switching either the LED strip or the controller hardware. It's a 1000uF capacitor that sits between Vcc and GND and a 1k trim potentiometer for the data line.
Копаясь в пете я кажись выдумал новый алгоритм синхронизации в распределенной системе, который потянет на скромную статью. Попробовать что ли опубликоваться.
С нейронкой болтал и придумал как существующие решения использовать боком так, что будет кажись круче. Нейронка говорит, что в известной литературе боком никто не пробовал. Погуглю на досуге наверное.
Went for a bike ride today and stopped by the small, free, Rosie the Riveter museum, owned by the national parks. It talks about WW2 at home - about the women who worked in factories, of course, and the role Richmond played in shipbuilding, but also the gains people of colour made during this time, as well as the internment of people of Japanese descent.
There are plans to remove anything "inappropriate" by September 17, so this is maybe the last opportunity to see the uncensored version of the museum. This small museum will become a lot smaller.
I took a bunch of photos of the exhibits that I think will go away. I'm thinking of putting them up on my blog (cause the alt text would be long) but here are some of the more concise ones
Remember that $30 million military parade the president forced on everyone in June? Now our dear leader wants a redo—by sea.
Under the guise of "restoring patriotism," the U.S. Navy is planning a larger parade for this fall after the president told aides he was “disappointed.” trib.al/O2qryx6
Things I figured out: how to get logged in as root to the mariadb, how to create a zabbix user, and how to populate the schema... Things I haven't figured out yet.. How to get zabbix to connect without using TLS.
The Simons-Laufer Mathematical Sciences institute, or #SLMath (formerly the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, or MSRI) has recently restructured its program formats, and is now announcing three new research initiatives, whose applications open on Sep 1 2025:
* AxIOM (Accelerating Innovation in Mathematics) is a new, month-long research program at SLMath, designed to accelerate innovation and introduce transformative ideas into the mathematical sciences. Programs begin in Spring 2027. * PROOF (Promoting Research Opportunities and Open Forums) is a two-week summer program designed to provide research opportunities for U.S.-based mathematicians, statisticians, and their collaborators in the U.S. and abroad, whose ongoing research may have been impacted by factors such as heavy teaching loads, professional isolation, limited access to funding, heavy administrative duties, personal obligations, or other constraints. Programs begin June-July 2026. * Lasting Alliance Through Team Immersion and Collaborative Exploration (LATTICE) is a yearlong program which provides opportunities for U.S. mathematicians to conduct collaborative research on topics at the forefront of the mathematical and statistical sciences. Programs begin June-July 2026.
Independent non-profit mathematical sciences research institute founded in 1982 in Berkeley, CA, home of collaborative research programs and public outreach.
The image depicts a portrait of a woman from the 18th or 19th century. She is wearing a red off-the-shoulder dress with a white lace-trimmed bodice and puffed white sleeves. The dress is cinched at the waist with a gold sash. The woman has long, dark hair that falls over her shoulders. She is holding a piece of paper in her right hand, which appears to be a letter, and is looking off to the side with a contemplative expression. The background is dark, which contrasts with the woman's attire and draws attention to her. The painting style is realistic, with attention to detail in the textures of the fabric and the woman's skin.

Amid rising repression of climate science domestically, researchers from universities around the country are lending their expertise to an international effort.
Know the amount of money, the federal government used to spend this hardly replaceable, but at the same time you kind of hope that a web of support for client climate science and climate work grows organically to replace it.
"Earlier this summer, access to climate.gov…was thwarted by the Trump administration, and its production team was fired in the process… Now, a team of climate communication experts – including many members of the former climate.gov team – is working to resurrect its content into a new organization with an expanded mission. Their effort’s new website, climate.us, would not only offer public-facing interpretations of climate science, but could also begin to directly offer climate-related services, such as assisting local governments with mapping increased flooding risk due to climate change."

Putin reist nach China - und hofft auf stärkere Zusammenarbeit
Russlands Präsident Putin ist wegen des Überfalls auf die Ukraine im Westen isoliert. Doch mit China hat der Kremlchef einen starken Verbündeten gefunden. Bei einem Besuch in der Volksrepublik sollen die Beziehungen noch einmal vertieft werden. Von S. Markert.
Die Blockkonfrontation geht weiter - so wird dat nix beim kampf um die #Klimakrise - die #NATO Staaten sollten endlich Ihre militärische Dominant beenden und auf den Rest der Welt zu gehen! Dann zieht die Welt mit...ein erster Schritt!
Kid starts middle school on Tuesday. He’s bummed that summer break is over but otherwise unconcerned. I however am full of irrational dread. For me, it’s the age when all the rules of life stopped making sense. He’s got better emotional literacy than me though, I think he’ll be okay
The current hurricane classification does not consider storm surge and rainfall risks, which cause almost 80% of hurricane-related deaths. A new scale could help people better prepare for storms.
The current hurricane classification does not consider storm surge and rainfall risks, which cause almost 80% of hurricane-related deaths. A new hurricane categorization system could help people better prepare incorporating risks from storm surges & rainfall into the categories.
Storm surges — elevated seawater levels near coasts — and rainfall cause almost 80% of hurricane deaths, yet they are not accounted for in the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale (SSHWS), which forecasters currently use to categorize a hurricane's severity
and plays a key role in communicating hurricane risk to the public. Some experts have previously argued that the threat of storms is not always properly reflected in the SSHWS's 1 to 5 category ratings, which are based solely on wind speed.
The SSHWS estimates potential property damage from sustained wind, ranging from "some damage" in a Category 1 hurricane to "catastrophic damage" in a Category 4 or 5 storm. But property damage isn't the only potentially deadly effect of a hurricane.
To address the SSHWS's shortcomings, Collins & colleagues developed an alternative hurricane warning system in 2021. Dubbed the Tropical Cyclone Severity Scale (TCSS), this system has 6 categories & takes into account wind speed, storm surge and rainfall — the three biggest hazards from hurricanes.
The TCSS assigns scores between 1 and 5 to each of the three hazards depending on their predicted severity for a given hurricane. These scores are then combined into a final score, which is established using three rules in different scenarios.
Participants who were sent TCSS forecasts were more likely to identify the main hazard from a hurricane correctly, and significantly more likely to evacuate for non-wind hazards than those who were sent SSHWS forecasts, according to the study.
