We are 3 weeks away from #SoftwareFreedomDay2025. There's room on the map for events: digitalfreedoms.org/en/sfd/arc… They can be small. They don't have to be on Sept 20th. If you don't currently have an event in your area, consider creating one. You might meet some new friends who also enjoy Free Software. #DFF #SFD2025


Watching Dark Angel recently has got me thinking about how the vision of the future in this show from 2000 still has pagers and cable TV as the primary communication systems. This is even with the EMP attack in the show timeline taken into account.

The image shows a vinyl record album cover titled "Invitation" by Andrew Hill Trio, prominently displayed in the foreground. The cover features a sepia-toned photograph of a man's face, with the text "andrew hill trio invitation" in white and black letters. The album is leaning against a turntable, which is a Linn Sonder model, identifiable by its logo on the front. The turntable is placed on a white shelf, with a few other items visible, including a stack of books with colorful spines. The background includes a white shelving unit with various items, and a green chair is partially visible. The setting appears to be a room with a carpeted floor, suggesting a personal space dedicated to music and reading.

Professor Wolff as always is the best when he’s doing history.

Still when the decision-making power is consolidated into the hands of the few, it’s right wing. That’s the original meaning of right wing.

Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is the #paperplane, but made frozen!

22,5ml Bourbon Whisky

22,5ml Aperol
22,5ml lemon juice

Pour everything in a small bottle (or scale up in a big bottle for a party!) and let it freeze overnight.

Remember to pull the bottle out of the freezer at least 15 minutes ahead of serving and enjoy!

Highly recommended

Bez blokera reklam nie da się obecnie przeglądać Internetu. Nie da się czytać tekstów, wszystko się robi niesamowicie wolne, wszystko dąży do tego by tylko oglądać reklamy.

Naprawdę, jestem pełen podziwu do samozaparcia osób które są w stanie tak funkcjonować.

Obraz przedstawia mężczyznę o białych włosach, ubranego w ciemny garnitur, białą koszulę i krawat z białymi kropkami. Mężczyzna patrzy w bok, wyrażając zdumienie lub zaskoczenie. Na górze obrazu znajduje się tekst w języku polskim: "Jezuu.. i wy tu tak żyjecie?". Tło jest niebiesko-brązowe, sugerując wnętrze budynku.

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene aus dem Film "Star Trek: First Contact." Im Vordergrund steht Captain Jean-Luc Picard in seiner roten Uniform, der in einem technisch ausgestatteten Raum steht. Hinter ihm sind zwei Borg-Kollektive zu sehen, die durch ihre grünen Augen und mechanische Gesichter gekennzeichnet sind. Der Bildschirm zeigt eine Beschreibung des Borg-Kollektivs, das sich selbst als "Borg" bezeichnet und als halb-maschinelle Kollektiv mit dem einzigartigen Ziel beschrieben wird, alle Rassen zu erobern und zu assimilieren. Der Film ist als Science-Fiction-Kino mit einer Laufzeit von 1 Stunde 51 Minuten und HD-Qualität gekennzeichnet.

I have to use a Firefox plugin to force scaling on some sites because the webshits making them think that my tiny 2880x1800 display means I'm on a mobile phone so they serve up the useless version of their site with inch-high letters, half the functionality missing, and everything hidden behind hamburger menus.

Did you know #Scotland is the first country in the world to protect in law the right to access free period products for anyone who needs them? Not sure how it’s working out, because I don’t live here. But I’ve noticed free tampons and pads in the toilets of the hostels where I’ve been staying and also on a ferry while here.

Happy Families. Tonight’s trip to #MidsomerMurders contains guest appearances by murderous statues of Anubis, Caroline Quentin, and an older Adrian Edmondson, hinting at a calmer, devious tweed and-cardigan wearing Vyvyan.


Just read an incredible article: breathwork—controlled breathing to calm or energise the mind—doesn’t just relax you—it changes blood flow in brain regions tied to self-awareness, fear & emotional memory. First MRI evidence of its neuromodulatory effects. Fascinating therapeutic potential.

It's Saturday night and I'm back to work tomorrow. I'm already getting messages about who is sick tomorrow. I was in a meeting on the dock earlier this week and fantasized about just taking off my safety vest and walking until I passed out. I reckon I could do about 40km, but the magpies would get to me before I got that far.
