As The Resolution Foundation (quoted in the Guardian) points out:
'The fall in employment over both the past 12 months & the past five years is entirely accounted for by higher unemployment, not rising economic inactivity as many people assume & young people are bearing the brunt of Britain’s jobs downturn'....
Govt. policy on tackling labour market participation may be focussed on the wrong issue, while young people's opportunities evaporate!

Multiplayer pubblica oggi un aggiornamento sulla battaglia legale tra gli eredi dello storico marchio #commodore. L'articolo non spiega però come l'italiana Commodore Industries Srl abbia ottenuto il diritto di usare lo storico nome. Penso che non si tratti di un'informazione secondaria dato cha l'avventura per l'acquisto nel marchio da parte di vicenda di Peri Fractic (Commodore International) e la sua community è di pubblico dominio. #C64 #retrocomputing @computer

THE WHITE STRIPES
White Blood Cells
2021 U.S. 20th Anniversary reissue
I haven’t sat down and listened to a White Stripes album front to back in quite some time.
And although I like all of the White Stripes records, I think White Blood Cells will always be my favorite on whole.
Dead Leaves, Hotel Yorba, Fell In Love With A Girl, We’re Going To Be Friends, I Think I Smell A Rat… just so many killer tunes that, when they first hit, came at the right time in my life.
As close to a perfect rock record as you can get.

Heaven is a halfpipe
Twitter hatte ein paar Dinge, die irgendwann einmal in der Community entstanden sind, von der UI/UX nicht wirklich vorgesehen waren, und lange nur in den Clients und in Third Party apps wirklich Sinn machten. Zum Beispiel die @user Notation, Hashtags, und natürlich Threads.
Threads waren die Community-Antwort auf Twitter's absolut wissenschafts- und diskussionsfeindlichen 280 Zeichen. Mit unter 1000 Zeichen kann keine freundliche Unterhaltung stattfinden, das System förderte Slogans und Proklamation über Daten und menschlichen Umgang miteinander auf Augenhöhe. Dieses eine Ding, die kurzen Statuse, waren (IMHO, aber nicht nur my humble opinion) der Grund für die Verrohung und den Rand-Drift der Plattform.
Sehr lange gab es nur die Nutzung von Drittdiensten wie Tweetlonger oder RiverTweet um das Ganze lesbar zu machen.
Mastodon, die am meisten genutzte Server-Software im Fediverse, hat einige dieser Probleme geerbt: die kurzen Statuse, und die nicht optimale Darstellung von Threads.
Im Fediverse helfen andere Reader-Frontends wie Phanpy oder Elk da extrem, auch einige Smartphone Apps machen das Lesen im Thread einfacher.

Fix stuff, earn big awards? Maybe, if this idea for repair bounties takes off. The group is dubbed the FULU Foundation, for “Freedom from Unethical Limitations on Users,” and was co-founded by right-to-repair activist Kevin O’Reilly and perennial Big Tech thorn-in-the-side Louis Rossman. The operating model works a bit like the bug bounty system, but in reverse: FULU posts cash bounties on consumer-hostile products, like refrigerators that DRM their water filters or bricked thermostats. The bounty starts at $10,000, but can increase based on donations from the public. FULU will match those donations up to $10,000, potentially making a very rich pot for the person or team that fixes the problem.
So far, it looks like FULU has awarded two $14,000 bounties for separate solutions to the bricked Nest thermostats. A second $10,000 bounty, for an air purifier with DRM’d filters, is under review. There’s also a $30,000 bounty outstanding for a solution to the component pairing problem in Xbox Series X gaming consoles. While we love the idea of putting bounties on consumer-unfriendly products and practices, and we celebrate the fixes discovered so far, we can’t help but worry that this could go dramatically wrong for the bounty hunters, if — OK, when — someone at a Big Tech company decides to fight back. When that happens, any bounty they score is going to look like small potatoes compared to a DMCA crackdown.
From the “Interesting times, interesting problems” Department comes this announcement by NASA of a change in vendor for the ground support vehicles for the Artemis program. The US space agency had been all set to use EVs manufactured by Canoo to whisk astronauts on the nine-mile trip from their prep facility to the launch pad, but when the company went belly up earlier this year, things abruptly changed. Now, instead of the tiny electric vans that look the same coming and going, NASA will revert to type and use modified Airstream coaches to do the job. Honestly, we think this will be better for the astronauts. The interior of the Airstream is spacious, allowing for large seats to accommodate bulky spacesuits and even providing enough headroom to stand up, a difficult proposition in the oversized breadloaf form-factor of the Canoo EV. If they’re going to strap you into a couple of million pounds of explosives and blast you to the Moon, the least they can do is make the last few miles on Earth a little more comfortable.
Speaking of space, we stumbled across an interesting story about time on Mars that presented a bit of a “Well, duh!” moment with intriguing implications. The article goes into some of the details about clocks running slower on Mars compared to Earth, thanks to the lower mass of the Red Planet and the reduced gravity. That was the “duh” part for us, as was the “Einstein was right” bit in the title, but we didn’t realize that the difference would be so large — almost half a millisecond. While that might not sound like much, it could have huge implications when considering human exploration of Mars or even eventual colonization. Everything from the Martian equivalent of GPS to a combined Earth-Mars Internet would need to take the differing concept of what a second is into account. Taking things a bit further, would future native-born Martians even want to use units of measurement based on those developed around the processes and parameters of the Old World? Seems like they might prefer a system of time based on their planet’s orbital and rotational characteristics. And why would they measure anything in meters, being based (at least originally) on the distance between the North Pole and the equator on a line passing through Paris — or was it Greenwich? Whatever; it wasn’t Mars, and that’s probably going to become a sticking point someday. And you thought the U.S. versus the metric system war was bad!
Sticking with space news, what does it take to be a U.S. Space Force guardian? Brains and brawn, apparently, as the 2025 “Guardian Arena” competition kicked off this week at Florida’s Space Force Base Patrick. Guardians, as Space Force members are known, compete as teams in both physical and mental challenges, such as pushing Humvees and calculating orbital properties of a satellite. Thirty-five units from across the Space Force compete for the title of Best Unit, with the emphasis on teamwork. It’s not quite the Colonial Marines, but it’s pretty close.
And finally, Canada is getting in on the vintage computer bandwagon with the first-ever VCF Montreal. In just a couple of weeks, Canadian vintage computer buffs will get together at the Royal Military College of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu for an impressive slate of speakers, including our friend “Curious Marc” Verdiell, expounding on his team’s efforts to unlock the secrets of the Apollo program’s digital communications system. Along with the talks, there’s a long list of exhibitors and vendors. The show kicks off on January 24, so get your tickets while you can.
