lately whenever i try out new foss software, it's like i can see the next ten years of my life unfold. the group producing the software launches a startup for hosting/"enterprise support"; the startup gets acquired; the acquiring company does lawyer stuff to repossess the code from the commons; there's a community fork under a different name; the fork builds up cruft that encourages a *different* group to make an incompatible "stripped-down" version; that group launches a startup...

• A view down a small street gradually curving to the left. A person looks outward down the street from the bottom center of the photo. Cars are stacked on other in a disorganized fashion, 2 to 3 deep, wall to wall against the facades of the apartments and shops that line the streets. There are approximately 100 cars in this predicament and the street is impassable. Photo from ClimateDefiance at the bird site. (remote)

Good morning[1], fellow travelers. Could I interest you in an interpretation of "Take Five" from an orchestra out of Pakistan? It's got some righteous tabla and sitar work. Sachal Studios Orchestra:

key skill for this sort of warfare:

‘Learning how to advance in small teams that can attack and then dissipate into thin air was key...

“It is so powerful to be able to send a company’s worth of personnel, which is about 130 people, on those vehicles, along multiple routes, and then at a point bring them together to attack the enemy, and then disappear in different directions,” said Maj. Gen. Marcus Evans, the 25th Infantry Division’s commander.’

This makes me think we should just build our own LED modules using mostly thru-hole components rather than buying integrated off-the-shelf ones, since it's almost never the LEDs themselves that fail. Maybe power them with USB-C PD.

@futurebird On my corner of Nextdoor there was a recent surge in accounts of "people" with Chinese surnames all offering short random quotations from famous thinkers. They were all in different neighborhoods, but the basic pattern was identical.

I could use a few folks banging on https://arghstudios.com:50433/storyForm.html which will be open over the next few days

idea is to provide a storytelling coach & tutor to adult caretakers of children. the renderer currently has issues with apostrophes, and it is development-code-slow (a story may take 12-15 seconds), but it would be great to have some folks make requests of it for a bit and see if it handles traffic decently.

feedback to support@arghstudios.com please, & thank you in advance for beta-test help.

Hey friends, it's hard to write this, but it's time to retire botsin.space. I wrote a post about it here: https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/

TLDR the site will go read-only on or around December 15th.

I'm so thankful for all the support and good times here ❤️ thanks everyone

If you tell the story of the burnt ballot boxes in Portland and Vancouver this week (an important story that warrants attention), also tell how good fire-suppressant design saved all but three ballots in the Portland box, and the efforts of the election workers who contacted those three voters and arranged for replacement ballots.

Things are scary and bad, and often literally on fire. But there are good people and good systems too. Making us forget that is always a win for the worst ones.

I know I've posted this dragon before, but it's so cute, I couldn't resist posting it again. It can be found on the 1902 Art Nouveau style Miller and Lang Print Works at 50 Darnley Street in the Pollokshields area Glasgow, and by far it's my favourite bit of architectural ironwork in the city.
