I really cannot stress this enough. When I visited France, I visited a building where I read an entry in a log book where a Nazi recorded my great-grandmother's death in the camps. The name of this building was the "Musée de la Résistance et de la *Déportation*". It was not the "museum of the death camps" because they don't _call_ them death camps. While it's happening, they call it "deportations". The name "death camps" shows up once the occupying army is rolling their tanks into your capital.

Ahhhh I see. Tron Ares tried to Avatar it. They said what if we made a movie so visually
satisfying that no one will care about the plot or characters.

So far the best thing about this movie by far is the score which is done by NIN.

I want to rewatch All Light, Everywhere, a documentary about the surveillance state, but I can’t bring myself to do it. It’s so relevant to the times, but it’s a difficult watch because it illuminates (heh) our situation so well.

Anyway, watch it if you’re looking for something to watch tonight. I think it’s on Tubi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All%5FLight,%5FEverywhere

Chris Rufo accuses Scandinavian-Americans of being left-wing radicals. I think he intended it as an insult, but I'm taking it as a compliment.

Watching Tron: Ares. Straight off the bat, I don't know a single developer who'd trade a nice cherry switch for this glass keyboard.

Are any of my fedi friends a #lawyer or have one they recommend to help me build an updated professional consulting agreement? It doesn't need to be anything crazy, just enough to protect me from bad actors/non-payment.

(My business is registered in CA, USA if that makes a difference)

I made a sweater using Elizabeth Zimmerman's percentage system. It is more of a guide than a pattern, freeing you to make all sorts of adaptations.

I made this sweater oversized and with a raglan neck, for lounging and doing outside chores. I can't wait to make another one that is fitted and meant to be worn out and about!

Have you ever used Elizabeth's percentage system?

I see that misguided narrative in the gutless business leaders who talk about “de-escalation” and “finding real solutions” — as if the problem is just that a few ICE murdered two people, not that all the ICE agents are an authoritarian secret police in the making.

I see that misguided narrative in the elected officials who decry ICE, but then talk about “better training” and “more oversight” — as if the secret police will become humane if they just get a few new rules to ignore and have to sit through a Powerpoint about them.

I see some posts arguing that everything in Minneapolis is just more of the same that people of color have been living with forever, and white people are just waking up to it. I have never once heard that sentiment, however, from a BIPOC person who’s been living •in Minneapolis• for the last two months.

There is a crucial point there: this •is• precedented. It’s all precedented. But it’s not just more of the same.

If anyone is involved in the UK #Green Party they might want to look at motion A6 for the spring conference
which includes

"The Green Party supports users’ rights to control the digital devices they own,
including the right to install, modify or replace operating systems and
software, access full file systems, and remove pre-installed applications,
particularly on computers and smartphones."

and some amendment discussions around @pluralistic proposals on killing DRM and #enshittification

"AI" is not actually a technology, in the way people would commonly understand that term.

If you're feeling extremely generous, you could say that AI is a marketing term for a loose and shifting bundle of technologies that have specific useful applications.

I am not feeling so generous.

AI is a technocratic political project for the purpose of industrializing knowledge work. The details of how it works are a distant secondary concern to the effect it has, which is to enclose and capture all knowledge work and make it dependent on capital.

My "Infinity Journal" was working well then I just forgot about it lol and reverted to my old process/system. But I'm picking it up again because I enjoyed using it and it was helpful. It was like a journal, to-do, and meeting notes all in one.

ICE Expands Power of Agents to Arrest People Without Warrants:

"The change expands the ability of lower-level ICE agents to carry out sweeps rounding up people they encounter and suspect are undocumented immigrants, rather than targeted enforcement operations in which they set out, warrant in hand, to arrest a specific person."

What is this /meta.json file that Facebook's network keeps repeatedly trying to load from my server about?

No speculation, please. Yes I know it is an ambiguous file name. Do not just google it for me.
