Lovely article from our publishers at @uolpress.bsky.social about bringing the Living With Machines book to life 'Through Experimental Publishing Workflows and Open Research Practices'. It's been so great working with Emma and Jamie on this! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10…
Littlest told me that until yesterday one of her friends had never eaten a blackberry. 😢 Littlest was eating them while out playing and gave the friend one.
The school has spent 7 yrs scaring them all stupid about berries. Two kids got taken out of class to go to A&E after eating unknown berries at school (they were plums and the girls were of course fine).
I understand teaching them not to eat things which are A) unsafe or B) unknown, but why not teach them what a blackberry looks like!
This reminds me of a Jamie Oliver video made in 2010, where he had a basket of veg and asked school kids to identify them.

Similar vibes… 😔
The kicker is that these blackberries were right outside the school. The “killer plum” tree was on school grounds, probably planted ages ago so there’d be fruit trees onsite.

🌏 World Carfree Day / In town, without my car! Events September 21-28 🚴
World Car-Free day
is September 22nd. At SLRPNK we'd like to draw a little more attention to this holiday, and see it celebrated even more widely and internationally. Like all good holidays, it has its roots in civil disobedience.
In 1961, Jane Jacobs wrote The Death and Life of Great American Cities. She was one of the organizers of demonstrations that saved a popular public park in New York City from being turned into more road for cars. She was inspired by both the Garden City and City Beautiful movements before her, and her book and methods were internationally influential.
The Netherlands had seen the precursor to car-free days as a response to oil price shocks during the Suez Crisis, and anti-car sentiment has festered due to speeding vehicles in narrow city streets. Late one night in 1968, neighbors in Groningen took pickaxes and shovels to sections of their street to create intentional barriers that cars had to slow to navigate around. Despite official resistance, the civil disobedience movement to create "Woonerfs" or "Living Streets" spread, and in 1972 the first official Woonerf was constructed in Delft.
The Dutch lead the way in re-envisioning cities without cars through the 1970s, but the idea became internationally popular. People began organizing yearly car-free days, with the intention to explore other ways of organizing city life without the use of personal motor vehicles. Car-free days and automobile restraint in Urban planning goes hand in hand.
In one famous case in Jakarta, Indonesia, Car-free day is a weekly event. On Sunday mornings, several streets into the city are barred from use by traffic. They become popular paths for pedestrians and cyclists who come to the city for Sunday events. Initially it was planned to occur only 3 times a year in 2007, but as interest and infrastructure around the event grew, it became a weekly event only 5 years later. The streets used for this purpose have become more pedestrian-friendly as their use by pedestrians grew.
The most popular day for yearly Car-free days is September 22nd. In french-speaking countries, it is called "En ville, sans ma voiture" or "In town, without my car" - but the concept is the same. What ever the concept is called in your locality, we would like to boost it here as a Solarpunk holiday. Check out related communities for this event:

📡 Technical updates from the servers 🧑💻
Not many updates from the technical department, but the consistent memory leak issue returned in Lemmy 0.19.12 that forces us to regularly restart the backend which always comes with a short 2-3 minute downtime (and if we don't catch it on time it sometimes crashes the database with causes issues with the XMPP auth integration).
There have been some nice improvements on our Movim instance though (OMEMO e2ee and image uploads should be more reliable now, and you can do full-text search in your chats), and we started experimenting with a XMPP server module that added Unified Push distributor support (so that you can use an XMPP app like Conversations to receive privacy preserving push notifications). Movim also added support for small group video calls (incl. screen-sharing), but we need to improve our STUN/TURN setup a bit for the connection establishment to be more reliable.
Last but least, some updates on the planned Piefed migration: The main blocker for re-using the bcrypt hashed passwords from the Lemmy database was resolved in Piefed which opens the path to start doing some testing on how to migrate accounts to the Piefed database. Don't expect immediate progress though, as time is limited to work on this right now. In addition the Hanubeki Lemmy theme we are using is also migrating to Piefed, so we will have a nice continuation of our color schemes.

The Age of Cheap Online Shopping is Ending - Slashdot
The century-old duty-free import exemption that transformed American online shopping has ended, The Atlantic argues, closing a loophole that allowed packages valued under $800 to enter the United States without tariffs.slashdot.org

Il punto è misurabile. Nei palchi di massima risonanza istituzionale tra dicembre 2024 e agosto 2025 – vertici Ue, Monaco, Parlamento, conferenze stampa “difesa”, lettere ai leader – il 62–70% degli interventi di Ursula von der Leyenè centrato su sicurezza, industria militare e Ucraina. Su lavoro, salari, povertà e ambiente restano passaggi episodici, senza un pacchetto paragonabile per scala e densità.
