Last Notes npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…7l00 Yeah. I need to start looking for a plan B once my annual contract expires. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil My home internet went out for 48 hours, which mean this server went down as well. Longest downtime I've had since 2014 and just a few months after Google Fiber got bought out by a private equity firm. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…twdu Yes, in Guanajuato State. On or near the "Royal Road of the Interior Land" from Santa Fe, NM to Mexico City. My grandma's grandma was supposedly from a Pueblo just north of Santa Fe. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil I finally got around to tracking down my grandpa's ancestry. It's eerily similar to my grandma's. Like her, he is also from a pueblo called San Francisco, but Analco instead of del Rincon. The Indians also rebelled against the Spanish (1764 instead of 1755), but they lost and the town was dissolved. A bittersweet discovery: the house my grandpa was born in was in the family since at least 1810-1820 and perhaps since 1780s, but it was sold about 10 years ago. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil I gifted myself a single-volume edition of the Lord of the Rings. I last read it when I was half the age I am today, and it's an entirely different experience now. This edition is not very bulky and the cover is a bit flexible, so it makes for good comfortable reading. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil I met Diamond Dave soon after I got to SF. He'd be at Food Not Bombs often, on 16th and Mission, and kicking it with friends and acquaintances in and around the Mission. He was a swell guy. RIP. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Bay Area No War on Iran emergency action in San Francisco TODAY at 3PM at the SF Federal Building, 90 7th Street. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil I can't believe I've been running this instance since November 2022. Federated social media is the way to go. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…73zx Thank you! Sadly, this happened in Mexico and they have a lot less protection. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil My aunt passed away this morning. I don't have details, but my thoughts and prayers are with her children, who now must manage massive medical debt along with funeral and related expenses. We will continue fundraising for them. Please help share this widely. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Related #robotaxi news: Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That’s 4x Higher Than Humans npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Maybe the moral of this story is that the tension and conflict this country is experiencing is plain tribal. It's no longer about parties, or policies, or ideologies, it's about who is and isn't part of your community. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil This story is wild: Republican mayor of little town in Kansas admits to illegally voting as a non-US-citizen. Mostly Republican town turns out to defend him. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…k53f You're right. Next time! npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…k53f they offered me waymo bux, which will probably remain unused. :( npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil I had to drive to North Beach today, and when I got back to my car, a Waymo was stalled in the street, blocking my car in. Long story short, I called their customer service number and they told me a previous passenger hadn't closed a door. So, I closed it myself. This happened just a couple of days after I read an article about them paying gig workers to close robotaxi doors. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil I am absolutely floored by how easy it is to fall through the cracks of the Mexican medical system. Being a housewife, a widow, and having a pre-existing condition means my aunt's only effective option is a hospital charging hundreds of thousands of pesos. No public safety net at all. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…a4ar I asked Proton's Lumo and it replied: "I don’t have access to your prior conversations, so I’m unable to analyze your behavioral tendencies based on that history. If you’d like insight, you could share excerpts or describe specific patterns you’ve noticed, and I can help interpret them." I appreciate this answer. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil I giving away 1 ticket for Joe List, today, Fri, Feb 13 @ 7:30 PM Cobb's Comedy Club today here in SF. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil My aunt is still in the ICU in #Mexico, but she's showing some improvement. My cousins are still terribly worried and the medical bills are honestly overwhelming, but they’ve been so touched by the kindness everyone's shown. If you’re able to help out or even just share the link, it would mean a lot to them and the entire extended family. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil For the first time in nearly 50 years, San Francisco educators, aides, counselors, and staff are going on strike this Monday. Fair wages and health benefits remain unresolved. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil From #BayResistance: npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil "Slain Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti had his rib broken by ICE agents just one week before he was shot to death. He was also potentially part of a massive surveillance database that agents are rumored to be collecting on protesters in Minneapolis." npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil They tranquilized the mountain lion that's been roaming around San Francisco. He will be released. Hopefully he will avoid humans going forward and he will have a long happy life. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Please join the San Francisco Labor Council and NFFE at a vigil for VA nurse Alex Pretti on Tuesday, January 27 at 6:30 PM at the SF VA Medical Center. Corner of 42nd Ave and Clement. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Two photos taken 24 years apart. The first one is from 2001, somewhere in the Persian Gulf. I hitched a ride on the Rainbow Warrior II and was heading to the WTO Ministerial in Doha to report on the trade talks. Second was taken this past November in Belém. I went to the Peoples' Summit during COP30 to learn how labor unions are organizing around climate change and to give a presentation on food systems. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil For all the promises of autonomous vehicles, their downfall will be impatient customers and complicit operators. The former want to get to their destination ASAP, and the latter will accede, programming the systems to be assertive and aggressive. Traffic violence will continue, it'll just be partially automated. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil I saw one of these super aggressive #Google #Waymos a couple of days ago on Folsom Stret, between 1st and Fremont! It was stuck behind a Muni 12 bus and its system decided the passengers were taking too long. Instead of waiting, the #robotaxi crossed the double solid yellow lines to pass the bus, driving into oncoming traffic. It put its passengers, drivers, people walking and biking at risk. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…n926 I'm sure it is by design. The ACA's closest international system is the Swiss healthcare system. An HMO plan similar to my own is between 700 and 900 Swiss francs ($880-$1130) over there. "Managed competition" indeed. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Proton Sheets has only been out for a couple of weeks and I'm duly impressed. This is already a legit replacement for Excel and Google Sheets. Local is best, but if I need to share a spreadsheet, I now have a good option. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…a5v3 Grew up in Tennessee in the 1990s and my friends and I were feral. We would spend hours outside, which turned into days by the time we got to the end of high school. Must be a generational thing. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…afx2 @nprofile…jh0e I've never used Fastmail, but Proton revamped their Android app recently and it's much improved. Faster and has a few more features. On the desktop, their Bridge is stable, so I can use Thunderbird without an issue. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…jh0e rclone sort of had this for a few months, but recently broke. It wasn't perfect, but I could backup my files easily enough. I hope it can be resolved soon. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil I am looking forward to better Linux support and improved photo handling in Proton Drive, but I got Proton Sheets this year and that's huge. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Seeing how quickly Big Tech in the Bay has embraced the current administration has reinforced my decision to switch to the #Proton ecosystem, flaws and all. And it's getting better and better each year. For mail, it's maybe 95% of the way there. If you're curious, here's my referral link: https://pr.tn/ref/YXC5WQVK npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Just saw another video, the fire is spreading quickly because of the cloth false ceiling. Within 20 seconds a wall burn completely (see screencaps). npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Video isn't mine, but was shared in a group chat just a few minutes ago. Seems like the fire was in the state delegation pavilion area. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil There's a fire inside the #COP30 Blue Zone building in #Belém right now. I hope everyone is OK. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil this right here. for real. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Got this update from Bay Resistance and the legal team at Stockton today. Rightly called a testament to the impact of community response: npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Details on what's happening over in Stockton in this news article: npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Bay Resistance has called for an emergency picket in Stockton today to defend immigrant families from federal immigration enforcement. Spanish speakers urgently needed. 603 San Juan Ave, Stockton. 8AM–4PM this weekend. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Bay Resistance is calling for a rally and march TOMORROW, Thursday, October 22 at 5 PM here in San Francisco, starting at Embarcadero Plaza. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Bay Resistance is hosting a 6 P.M. call tonight 10/22 to plug in volunteers and members with more training. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil The SF Chronicle is reporting a major federal immigration operation headed to San Francisco Bay Area: "The Trump administration has dispatched more than 100 federal agents, including some from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to Coast Guard Base Alameda and they will begin to arrive Thursday..." npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil I hyped up spring camping at Mt Diablo today. Very underrated campgrounds. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…mjf8 Maybe it doesn't matter as much as it did a decade ago, but it's still an issue for sure. Just a quick search on Mission Local confirms there's still gang violence down there. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…mjf8 The gang injunction map is OK, but there's also this map from The Journal of Prevention. Still misses the Natoma Norteño crews by 14th St though. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…mjf8 When I lived there in a dozen years ago, North Mission (around 16th St) was Sureño territory and South Mission (around 24th St) was Norteño territory. There were also some random enclaves. Very real difference. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil This past Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security's Facebook page shared John Gast's "American Progress" with the caption "A Heritage to be proud of, a Homeland worth Defending." npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil This entire model would be absurd on land. Just imagine roving bands of hunters and trappers going out to Siberia, the Amazon, or the African rainforest to kill rats, rabbits, bats, and other small animals, grinding them into pellets to feed captive pigs, and then exporting the meat to Europe and the US. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Yeah, aquaculture is starting to look like another ecological and economic Ponzi scheme: pillage the oceans in poorer countries, turn caught wild fish into pellets, feed to captive fish, and sell the slaughtered animal to consumers in rich countries. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Aquaculture is wild. Basically, they catch wild fish, process them, feed them to captive fish, and cross their fingers hoping for a 'Fish In, Fish Out' ratio of 1:1. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Over the years, I've seen a lot members here in SF take on political fights that they've lost, which can be emotionally difficult. One thing that cheers them up is when I remind them that standing up for what's right and just is good for our collective cause. That pushback creates friction, and friction slows down anti-worker, anti-community plans. Do it enough and it can wear down their resolve. In my experience, that is one battle we always win. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil The Guardian is reporting that a US neo-Nazi fight club is rapidly spreading across the globe. These "active clubs" use martial arts to espouse far-right, fascist ideologies. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil From Bay Resistance: npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…mjf8 Really? It seems like that's all we do... until we can't, and then it bubbles to the surface explosively. Community third spaces, where people would try to hash out tension, seem to be few and far between, so we're left with FB groups and Nextdoor and WeChat threads. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…ze43 If you see the Silicon Valley/SF as the technological and economic apex of said Great Compression/postwar/fossil fuel and science boom, then it totally makes sense. And financially, it sort of bears out. Many (most?) economic overlords made their wealth here. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…ze43 Yes! The platforms and algorithms largely created in SF were never designed to confront tension and find a consensus. They created digital echo chambers, where BDFLs dogmatically led the faithful. But the differences festered and legitimate grievances were never addressed. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…ze43 Me too. It's long. Need to figure out to how make it shorter... npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…ze43 For everyone. My theory is that these tools have sought to address local tension by trying to "rationalize" it, but then get scaled up and end up amplifying extremism by optimizing controversial content who learn to game the algorithms. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil I've been working on an article on how San Francisco's tech-infused political culture, focused on technical 'fixes' and conflict avoidance, is quietly becoming the default operating system for democracy everywhere through social media platforms and AI. And not going to lie, it's been a bit emotionally taxing. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil I saw this dude today at the Next Level vegan burger joint over at 17th Street: two laptops, two portable monitors, and two webcams. That's some serious commitment to working from anywhere. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Next year is San Francisco's Semiquincentennial. Worth remembering because it was the beginning of the end of the Ramaytush Ohlone Peoples independence and autonomy. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil An anonymous poem published in The San Franciscan in 1884: npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil An acquaintance shared this #fundraiser for a woman who lost three sons at the fireworks factory explosion in #Yolo County this past Tuesday, July 1. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil An acquaintance here in the Bay shared a sad story of this political moment: He needs to do some light home repairs but, as an undocumented DACA recipient, he's too afraid to go to Home Depot to get the necessary material. He's a committed young man. Motivated, hard working, very professional, by all accounts a pillar of his community. But trivial acts have have become risky, anxiety-producing affairs. Heartbreaking. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil My #union, #CWA 9404, is having a strike school this evening. Our contract expired yesterday and we're still in bargaining. Consider making a contribution to our #strike fund. I hope it's not necessary, but we want to be ready. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…mjf8 It really depends on the union and issue! Members are for sure important, but sometimes the impacted chapters are so small and/or disorganized that the broader common good becomes the priority around advocacy. It's certainly the case for 1021. City College is a great example. The fiercest supporters for initiatives like Free City college are often nurses at SF General and retirees. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…mjf8 Probably twice that, if you include unions! Bike share has TWU Local 100, Muni/SFMTA has TWU Local 250-A & Local 200, SEIU 1021, and a bunch of other ones, same with Bart. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil The dog days of summer have arrived early this year for all except for @nprofile…0pz8 and the other dogs of SF. She's still wearing her coat for her morning and night walks. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil Happy #Canada Day! npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…ky6l @nprofile…lu38 ah, yes, this one is SF only. Different networks are required since the bulk of the work is being done by community-based, grassroots organizations that are usually focused on particular neighborhoods. npub1gg5c62psj8vrpg00f54ydl263nrhha76ajct4ssfkvmrwvrcrzcsvlvxnm Chema Hernández Gil @nprofile…lu38 @nprofile…ky6l Yes, the San Francisco Rapid Response Network is legit and trusted.
