It looks like the Aubrey de Grey investigation is over…except, like the Black Knight, he hasn't noticed yet.

Preaching to the choir here but it's incredibly frustrating how it's impossible to link to a full thread on Twitter. Parts of it are always hidden in increasingly opaque ways.

Staff: “Do you need any help?”

"LeVar Burton Reads", in which the host typically reads one short story per episode, is an absolutely lovely podcast. I finally had to write a review of it, here:

https://lib.reviews/review/9f1c1b05-3db3-4ca5-bfe1-af5dfe2b7e82

In short, if you like fiction & listen to podcasts, I cannot recommend it highly enough. The review has links to some of my favorite episodes.

@cstanhope There’s a name for this phenomenon as a field of study: Agnotology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnotology

Think about the tobacco industry or oil industry publishing studies showing the safety of their products or denying climate change and getting this disinformation recycled into the public consciousness through lobbying and media efforts.

But, yeah, literally nobody is immune to propaganda and the construction of counter-knowledge within collective beliefs. It’s a huge problem! 😞

This country is home to the third largest Chilean diaspora community, after Argentina and the United States.
That was a result of the US-backed coup that took place in Chile on the 11th of September, 1973.
Thinking about that today.

not sure if my instincts are off so lmk how you all feel about this: "in a hypothetical federated git platform, i would like it if conversations in a repository (eg issues and pull requests) were stored directly in the repository as opposed to in a database on the server"

boosts appreciated
