Perhaps we now have our first realistic hint that there might be something better. No, I don't expect this to lead to a new product next year, perhaps never, but it's still fun to make further guesses in an area I barely understand! https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/china-just-made-the-worlds-fastest-transistor-and-it-is-not-made-of-silicon/

The last paragraph of this week's Crux, from @daedalus ...

Yes.

Fuck yes.

"A lot of developers seem to believe that what people really want from their computers is surprises and nagging. I do not. I want computers that do what they have been told to do, and only that, until they are explicitly instructed to do something else. In a world beset by unpredictable disruption, I crave the comforts of technology that is boring and predictable."

There was some Nujabes in my timeline, so here's even more Nujabes for your timeline.

I absolutely love this video, I've been watching it once a year or so for many years, like some kind of pilgrimage. Now it's that time again, because why not?

So it looks like at least part of this is going to happen. I’m going to setup a new fedi node for indie filmmakers and @grassfox86 is going to help 😇

Supporting indie filmmakers is actually in-line with the goals of my film company so I guess this isn’t such a crazy idea.

If you or someone you know would be interested in something like this let us know and we’ll add you to the guest list.

My timeline runith over with non-cw'd political posts.

It's like using facebook but instead of ads it's ...well it's kinda like ads.

Perhaps some of this is actionable information, but the vast majority of it is simply providing free labor to the fascists who seek to emotionally deplete us into submission.

If you don't like fascism, think twice before helping them demoralize the antifascists.

We must stop treating people as expendable.

“Covid is only a risk to the vulnerable” has given way to “only sick children should die of measles.”

We’ve embraced eugenics, and many folks don’t even realize it.

Every time you say “did they have a pre-existing condition” when someone dies… you’re making it easier for fascists to eliminate us

Today on my blog, I was posting on here about why Notch (creator of Minecraft) should remain forgotten, and some of the things he did that got him erased from the game, and, since it seems this is something some of us have forgotten about ... I decided to also put it up on my website

I posted more about it on my Bluesky account, but I keep seeing 20-somethings praising Notch, especially on Youtube, and I think it's testament to the fact that the internet really isn't forever, because we had the internet blowing up over Notch being bigoted in every way a person could be, and then 8 or 9 years later nobody even remembers this

I'm working on a fourth part in my series about open social web / fediverse business models. This one's from the perspective of funders: what would I do if I was *funding* the open social web?

Which leads me to this question: how do *you* think the open social web should be funded?
