I just read a post on bsky that blamed the death of bsky (a thing that is not happening) on mastodon users bullying people off of bsky (a thing that is not happening) and back onto Twitter (a thing that is not happening)

Moving back in middle age to help an aging parent is existing in a weird quantum state of still feeling like the child while also feeling ever more like the actual parent.

It says something about the authoritarian mind that they think health care is all about finding a target to blame.

I just read a series of posts by the owner and sole proprietor of the service where I used to host my main blog where he is going on about how he gained some insights into his family finances by feeding several months' worth of his bank statements into an LLM tool and I am feeling pretty good about my decision.

Last year at #BSDCan I excitedly told everyone how I was gonna make `fsync()` in #OpenZFS successfully fail when necessary, instead of failing successfully.

After a year of work, and rework, and getting all the pieces into place, an hour ago I finally posted the PR that should pull it all together and make it go 😅

That it should be possible for a powerful state to maintain an equal and affectionate institutional relationship with its much-weakened former colonial ruler is something that should be possible for many in the UK and US to process by this point.

It's always a bit jarring to see how so many in the UK, US or EU project their own fantasies of ideal governance on to Canada as if its some kind of liberal Narnia rather than a multi-layered society with its own complex institutional and cultural relationships to the UK, France and other states

Back in the garden after an excellent few days of the METIS science team meeting at @mpi_astro, meeting old friends & new, discussing the past, present, & future of astronomy among other things 🔭

Plus it’s another of those endless May religious public holidays here in southern Germany 🙄

For now, just a quick phone camera photo of a thick-thighed flower beetle (Oedemera nobilis) on a soggy peony.

#ThoughtProvoker :blobhyperthink:

Don't you sometimes get exasperated when witnessing so many of the discussions on creating a better fedi, that deal with crazy technical bandaids for the wrong tools we built. Microblogging sticky note exchange.. and how do we feature-add to that until it supports society? Isn't that the ultimate Golden Hammer anti-pattern, really?

If a peopleverse is where online technology serves people's needs in their daily lives, can we we imagine one? Can we evolve that?

big thanks to @MxSadie for putting me on to this book by @loriemerson… i’m about 30 pages, 15 networks in and it’s the sort of examination of technology and communication that fuels my optimism that we will continue to find ways to get our message out there even as the futures of our best-known communications infrastructures feel increasingly grim.

big bird: Mr. Buddha? is it true there's no such thing as me?

the buddha: There is a you, Big Bird. but not the kind you can hold in your hand

big bird: but I have a name. and feathers. and friends. Isn’t that me?

the buddha:those are parts of you. But they are always changing, aren’t they?

big bird: I guess so. my feathers fall out, and I get taller, and sometimes I even feel different inside

the buddha: That’s right. You are like a song, Big Bird, not a thing, but something happening

big bird: But if I’m just a song, what keeps me from disappearing?

the buddha: The love you give. teh kindness you carry. The way you make others smile. That’s the part that echoes

big bird: So I don’t have to hold onto 'me' so tightly?

the buddha: No. You are still here, even when you let go

big bird: Like a feather on the wind?

the buddha: Exactly.

big bird: I think I’ll go sing with my friends now

the buddha: And the song will go on

@w7voa I wonder what constitutes a "critical field"? As a professor who specializes in security and cryptography, I can only assume it includes what I teach.

Sigh.
