Apple just released an interesting coding language model - 9to5Mac
Apple has just released an AI model that, rather than generating code from left to right, does it out of order and all at once. Here's how.Marcus Mendes (9to5Mac)
Scientists discover what’s driving record die-offs of US honeybees
"...found nearly all colonies had contracted a bee virus spread by parasitic mites that appear to have developed resistance to the main chemicals used to control them."
"A combination of factors is likely to be causing successive colony deaths among US bees, including the changing climate, exposure to pesticides, and less food in the form of pollen and nectar as monocrop farming proliferates."

‘Could become a death spiral’: scientists discover what’s driving record die-offs of US honeybees
Experts scrambling to understand losses in hives across the country are finally identifying the culprits. And the damage to farmed bees is a sign of trouble for wild bees tooPhoebe Weston (The Guardian)

Activism is inherently messy, and that’s its strength. The magic happens in the balancing act. The Beautiful Insanity of Activism: How Movements Rot or Blossom hamishcampbell.com/the-beautif…
The Beautiful Insanity of Activism: How Movements Rot or Blossom
Let’s face it — activism and counter-culture are packed with “insane” people. And thank the gods for that. It’s what makes movements exciting, dynamic, and, most importantly, effective. But like compost, too much of the wrong stuff makes the pile stink. Balance is everything. So, let’s look at this: what causes a movement to stagnate, fail, or bloom into a riotous field of wildflowers?The Rot (or: Why Your Movement Smells Bad)
- NGO’ists: These bureaucratic barnacles latch onto everything, molding it into whatever’s fundable and fashionably bland. They hoard resources, fill minds with paperwork, and slowly suffocate radical energy. They’re like termites with business cards.
- Encryptionists: Paranoid fuckists who turn usability into a sin and sell fantasies of invulnerability. They preach security like a cult, but the reality is half-baked systems no one can use and a movement too scared to talk to itself.
- Traditional Media Panderers: Useful in small doses, but quickly start reshaping the movement to fit mainstream narratives. Before you know it, your radical campaign against fossil fuels is being sold as a quirky “green lifestyle choice.”
- Horizontal Dotcom’ists: Desperate to ride the movement into start-up glory. If they build with the #4opens, great. If not, they’re a distraction at best and a flaming wreck at worst when people actually try to use their half-built platforms.
- Insecure and Nasty Lifestylists: Attracted to successful grassroots projects like flies to rot. They thrive on internal drama and are fed by the media panderers. Enough of them and your movement eats itself alive.
- Hidden Careerists: Often competent and useful — until they start networking with the NGO’ists and media grifters to build personal brands instead of movements.
- Paranoid Fuckwits: The paranoid glue of grassroots campaigns. In small doses, they help keep things tight. But let them accumulate in leadership, and the infighting becomes an art form.
- Dogmatic Liberals: Lovely people, but the human equivalent of wet blankets. They block anything genuinely disruptive because it makes them uncomfortable, ensuring nothing truly radical gets off the ground.
The Bloom (or: Why the Garden Still Grows)
- Hands-off NGO’s: The quiet good ones. They funnel resources without sucking the life out of movements. A rare species, but precious.
- User-Focused KISS Peer2Peer’ists: The heroes fighting uphill to (re)boot the #openweb with simple, human-centered tools. They understand that people need tech they can actually use, not just theorize about.
- Traditional Media Outreaches: The rare media people who amplify grassroots work without distorting it to fit mainstream appetites. They build bridges, not cages.
- Horizontal Dotcoms (Done Right): Working on open, federated sustainability instead of chasing VC cash. They build tools for the movement, not to sell the movement.
- Healthy Lifestylists: Learning to balance intense campaigning with actual human joy. Letting go of burnout culture and building connected, grounded lives.
- Open Careerists: Using the movement to bootstrap themselves — but carrying open values like a Trojan horse into the belly of institutions. Someone has to infiltrate the beast.
- Secure Organising Crews: Understanding that collective security is a shared responsibility. Keeping things calm, focused, and handling offline realities without spiraling into paranoia.
- Liberal Liberals: The ones who bring just enough common sense to stop things from exploding, but not so much that they kill the spark.
The Chaotic Harmony
Activism is inherently messy, and that’s its strength. The magic happens in the balancing act. A movement with too many paranoid fuckwits or NGO’ists collapses under its own weight. But a movement with a little bit of everything — the wild-eyed dreamers, the practical builders, the media-savvy storytellers, and the steady hands keeping it all together — can actually change the world.Because, at the end of the day, movements grow like compost. You need some rot. You need some shit. But you also need people willing to shovel through it, plant seeds, and tend the garden. And maybe, just maybe, you need to be a little bit mad to stick around long enough to see it bloom.

Update 20250708:
The fediverse added a delay of over a month for this to propagate. I had posted the toot on 20250602 in preparation of a talk¹ on this topic at the #ngiforum25 in Brussels two weeks later, and only got a handful of answers. Now, more than a month later, answers are rushing in!
Thanks everyone!!¹) If you are interested in my talk "Digital Freedom meets Digital Payments", here it is: webcast.ec.europa.eu/ngi-forum…
To all developers of #FOSS:
I'm interested in your experiences and opinions of funding #FOSS. How to maintain freedom and secure financial stability.
Which strategies work, which don't? Like: grants from public institutions, donations from companies, donations from users, subscription models, ad revenue, sponsors, etc. etc.
What are your experiences with those strategies?
And: Do you think an anonymous payment system like #GNUTaler, along with its anonymous subscription service capabilities, could be helpful and to what degree?
What other ideas do you have?
I'm looking forward to answers, comments and shares!
From my perspective, voluntary donations like the #GitHub sponsor functionality do not work.
It's been introduced before M$ took over and few people use it. When it was released, I was really excited and tried it out. Miserably, times changed now.
Maybe it's because devs don't want to support other devs or decision-making power of companies don't care (or know) what software they use.
The general, sad opinion is: "Software has to be free (as in beer), so why pay someone who develops it?"

Das Bild zeigt eine Stadtstraße mit einem blauen Radweg, der sich durch die Mitte des Bildes zieht. Der Radweg ist mit einem weißen Fahrrad-Symbol und einer Pfeilspur gekennzeichnet, was darauf hinweist, dass er für Radfahrer reserviert ist. Auf der linken Seite der Straße befinden sich mehrere Gebäude mit Backsteinfassaden, darunter Geschäfte und Restaurants. Einige Fahrräder sind an Halterungen entlang der Straße geparkt. Auf der rechten Seite der Straße ist ein Gehweg aus roten Ziegeln zu sehen, und es gibt einige Pflanzen in Blumenkästen. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Gebäude und ein paar Menschen zu sehen, die entweder auf dem Gehweg oder am Straßenrand entlanggehen. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewölkt, und die Straße scheint trocken zu sein.

The image depicts a female warrior character standing in a dynamic pose. She has long, flowing red hair tied back, and her attire is a blend of armor and traditional warrior clothing. The armor is primarily silver with gold accents and red sashes, featuring intricate designs and a central gem on the chest plate. She holds a large, glowing blue sword with a dark hilt, which emits a mystical aura. The character's outfit includes a fitted top, a skirt-like lower garment, and knee-high boots, all complemented by a red sash around her waist. The background is a gradient from dark to light, emphasizing the character's silhouette and the glow of her sword. The character's shadow is cast on the ground, adding depth to the image.
