New blog post, about a recent obsession of mine: off-the-shelf #governance models applicable to small #FOSS projects. What do you think of the idea? Would you like to work on that together? https://antonin.delpeuch.eu/posts/off-the-shelf-governance-models-for-small-foss-projects/

Trying to use Tapestry as a social media reading app for a bit, because it may let me scan quickly without soaking my head in the firehose. I’m also setting up tech and political news feeds for sites that post so often they’d overwhelm my RSS reader (e.g., Techmeme).

Regarding LB[1]: That's not entirely true. Even back in the day we were connected to other people. It's just the connections were not the realtime deluge of doom and gloom and harassment we get now. It was slower and mediated through magazines, books, radio programs, tv shows, and often in person with groups or friends.
(Not to romanticize it or anything. Computer technology has always had problematic aspects, whether we knew it or not.)

P.P.S. I just scrolled through the homepages of CNN, ABC News, NBC News, and AP News.
Not *a single mention* I could find of the protest in D.C. and the Democrats who came out to speak and show solidarity.
Ask yourself why this is, and the only logical answer is probably the correct one.

With the "shutdown" of USAID, the State department has ordered an emergency evacuation of all staff from over a hundred countries by Saturday. In their wake they will leave massive chaos. USAID feeds 53 million people a year, among other things. Many, many people are dying because of this, and many countries will never trust the US again.
USAID is a major part of American international soft power. The damage that this is causing can only be described as treasonous, even ignoring the human cost.
To be clear, this evacuation is impossible. Doing it from one country is very hard. Doing it everywhere all at once, even with all available military airlift assets, cannot happen. Regardless, on whatever schedule they do do this, this is not a normal international move. They are telling staff who in some cases have been in country for decades or who expected to be their for the rest of their careers that they have 48 hours to pack suitcases and leave everything else they own behind, to return to a country where they have no where to live and no job.
But then, that's the point.
Mastodon FeedWelp, there's a band whose music I like, but they're not on Bandcamp and I literally cannot figure out how to get Amazon to sell this album to me, so here we are -- where do the kids illegally download MP3s these days?

@mkj @denschub @gregandcin See https://docs.github.com/en/rest/migrations - I do regular backups of most the organization repos. This seems to have everything, issues and attachments for sure. Importing somewhere else is probably not easy but at least all the data is stored locally.

yet another sign of our society’s growing polarization and declining ability for discussion. this is not a good sign for our country.
“[CNN] has been stuck in last place in the ratings among its main competitors, behind MSNBC and Fox News, the longtime leader. Its prime time ratings have plummeted since the election, and its digital audience has also shrunk.”

ICE agents come to the house of an immigrant activist, he tells them he will come out of the house to them if they have a judicial warrant, as people are told to do now.
They bring a dozen more agents, a Bearcat armored vehicle, battering ram and stun grenades, and break in.

As a science advocate, something I hear a lot is that people think government would be better if there were more scientists and physicians elected to Congress. Senator Bill Cassidy's cowardice in voting for RFK Jr, show us that expertise is useless if you have no morals.
