people often get confused by the terms high german and low german. looking at a map doesn't necessarily help. you need to kind of...zoom out.

think of it in terms of space. in low earth orbit, astronauts tend to speak low german. as you go further up, you get into high german.

the moon is a different animal. particularly on the dark side, where it's much harder to see orthography. you have people speaking latin, minoan, tocharian, even sanskrit, in isolated cases.

Iceland is tiny, so a company letting 40 employees go makes national news. The company in question, Rapyd Europe, of course claimed "AI" as the reason for the layoffs.

So, I called them out on their bullshit – in my first piece for the Reykjavík Grapevine:

Frustrating people create posters/leaflets/images with a QR code as the *only* way to find out more. That deliberately excludes people without QR code readers. It also opens up an attack vector; as there is no URL for a human to double check against it is easy for someone to stick an alternative QR code on top.

I'm glad that LNER took my advice a few years ago and now provide the URL in addition. Plenty of others could follow their lead.

This post brought to you by an unusable leaflet.

Today May 12th, Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni was once again sworn in for another term, extending his rule to nearly 40 years.

As a young Ugandan, it really makes me sad to see leaders stay in power for so long while many people feel unheard and denied real freedom and democracy.

No one should fear change or be stopped from expressing their voice🥺

[Small] Is Not Nothing

Your garden is not nothing.

Your repaired jacket is not nothing.

Your conversation with a neighbor about starting a seed library is not nothing.

Small, consistent, local action is what change has always been made of.

Every #sustainable choice helps.

Why Drawing Tablet Brands Won't Collaborate on Linux FLOSS Drivers

After investigation; Gaomon, XpPen, and Huion won't collaborate on open-source drivers because of outdated naming conventions. Here's what I learned from direct contact with their technical teams, and what I plan to do to move forward.

@mlemweb @lufthans @cwebber

thank you so much. and that is very good indeed. sadly though, i do need thumb support: my wrist issues are exacerbated by a dislocating thumb, so that absolutely needs to be held in when it's misbehaving. i will bookmark this though, because i may have need of it for the other side at some point ...

many thanks again. and very well done! ✨

I like his theories. I just don't know if that's because it's populist speaking to me, or if he's onto it.
