If all who recently developed an amateur interest in academic process sound suspiciously like another group who, 12 years ago, became suddenly obsessed with "ethics in games journalism", that's because they're the same people with the same false motives, public and media both.

Embroidery done! I absolutely despise French knots, but aside from those this was a very relaxing project.

Time to sew the bag now!

Day 78 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana, Albania

🔴Diaspora i bashkohet sërish revoltës në shesh: Kërkojmë dorëheqjen e Ramës

This is the last night of this diaspora weekend - with many of the Albanian diaspora having traveled here again to do the protest.

There are also a couple banners that make reference to Day 16 of the protest against the forced consolidation of the Municipality of Divjakë with the Municipality of Lushnje. So it's not a completely unrelated protest, but people are inspired to get out on the streets due to the Flamingo Revolution.

This #FOSSY has further solidified my belief that we invest far too much time into writing software and licenses. We need to connect the four freedoms to material issues in people's lives.

People hate tech right now. Absolutely despise it. AI data centers and Flock cameras are the biggest targets but there are so many. On top of it, the economic system makes production of creative works nearly impossible. Unless we view those types of fights as core FOSS community issues, we're going to be stuck where we are.

The problem isn't (just) that you don't have the four freedoms, it's that the system guarantees oppression and misery. The lack of software freedom is a symptom of the problem, not THE problem.

EDIT: also, how is age-gating not a red alarm fire in our community?!

the basic problem is there is no unique value that maps to -1, it's relative to the current size of the bigint.

-1. i suppose that makes sense? it doesn't make sense, obviously,, but if it were fixed size it would be correct.
