Last Notes npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Managing this impulse in American (especially, but everywhere certainly) will be the true work of the 21st Centure. Decolonization doesn't even begin to describe the scope of the necessary work. #nevent1q…exf7 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd PLEEEEEZE tell me @nprofile…ugpy has seen this! #nevent1q…v7a9 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…ugpy Here's the onversation with Cindy Cohn of @nprofile…eexk mentioned in the above podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkC1aK7jfLo npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Woo! @nprofile…ugpy on #theweeklyshow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dAIJRjb-Bw #JonStewart #AI #Enshittification npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…j9f5 @nprofile…qkc7 Jesus fuck.

Much less cognitive burden. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…ugpy This is a wild rabbit-hole. From the linked Wikipedia page: "On 1 January 2012, 70 calendar years after James Joyce's death, all of his works entered the public domain[4] in much of the world, a transition "talked up in certain quarters as though it were a bookish version of the destruction of the Death Star, with Stephen Joyce cast as a highbrow Darth Vader suddenly no longer in a position to breathe heavily down the necks of rebel Joyceans." npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd This is an impressive interview. I think this is the first time I've seen someone ask questions that has caused @nprofile…ugpy to have to actually slow down & think carefully about the answers. (& the answers ae kind of chilling.) (& DAMN I wish somebody would put together a conversation between him & #HeatherCoxRichardson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPQNPJ0CEPo #AI #Oligarchy #Economics npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…a4ar I will point out that that the theory does specify •time•-space continuum trans-dislocation, so I submit that these two theses are not necessarily in dispute. Or the Matrix could simply be glitching. That happens, too. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Okay, sorry, but this is still apparently not widely known: this is standard #ADHD quasi-teleportation. ADHDers are incompletely evolved teleports. Seeking an item generates an energy field that pushes the item out of this time-space dimension into the next one over. It remains there until the seeker stops looking, at which point the item will finally pop back into this dimension.

The Apple ][# manual linked in the specific post I replied to above. Works fine in the toot, but is broken in the blog post. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…ugpy Heads up that this link in the blog post is throwing a 404 error. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…hy5n #MakeAlgaeGreenAgain npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…dyu0 Oh interesting! I did not know that! (Thank all the gods of Time & Space I never •needed• to know that. <shudder>) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd ...huh. I wonder if the tradition of tossing pennies into fountains started as a means of knocking back algal growth...? (Does that work with other metals besides copper?) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…yzy8 Were they asking for complete consumption? Or partial...? One wonders if they ever got any takers.... 👀 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…yzy8 Okay, so totally not the point, but I have so many questions.... There was more than one cannibal? Were they, like, asking for •volunteers•...? (In which case, go them, for honoring consent?) Or, uh, maybe recommendations? Taking requests? (This seems like this could be a, um, fascinating variation of the assassin trade...?) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Well, boo, I finished #TheBoroughs last night. At least I've still got #Stargate to watch for a while. Need to ration that one, though. That's gonna •hurt• when I finish the rewatch. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…ugpy One does wonder how that intersects with Disney's policy that "No one ever dies at Disneyland/world"? (Maybe that was what caused them to create that policy.) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…ugpy This lines up interestingly with Scott McCloud's observation in Understanding Comics that the more general & less specific the rendering of the main character, the wider the audience that will be willing to impute their own internality to it & the more effectively they can identify with that character. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…9yvc Boy, they picked the •wrong actor• to try that on. Shatner is just ridiculously hard to get a good likeness, as witnessed by the dozens of terrible tie-in novel covers, some by otherwise very accomplished artists. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…ugpy Sorry, a reference here is eluding me: can you unpack "(brackets derogatory)", please? I infer it's conceptually related to "scare quotes," but that's as far as I'm getting? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…rtl5 Also: LibreWolf is *not* part of the LibreOffice suite, correct? (Again, asking for a n00b, who is me.) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…rtl5 Are you running with Advanced Web Interface enabled? It works in single-column formats (such as when I go to the Settings page). But when I try it in the multi-column config, I get nada. (It's also possible that something changed between yesterday & today; I don't recall it working on a blog I was reading yesterday, but I also did an update, & now it seems to be working today. Also lost the icons in my dock, who tf knows...?) (Should be obvious I'm a newbie to Linux.) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…rtl5 That would be the obvious answer, yes, but there are cases where that doesn't actually seem to work? Mastodon, for instance. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Getting used to #Firefox on #Linux, & I finally found the "scrollbar always on" setting. But there appears to be no "scroll by 1 line" arrow at the top/bottom of the scrollbar? Wut-- npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…5uqu Solid work. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…ugpy If somebody hasn't done so already, I think Solnit's article (referenced in Cory's blog/post) is worth surfacing: https://www.meditationsinanemergency.com/truth-consequences-climate-and-demand-destruction/ #Energy #FossilFuels #ClimateCrisis #USpol #Iran #StraitOfHormuz npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…wdzu @nprofile…vqx5 I'm loving that the "low tech" (non-networked, disenshittified), "retro" solutions seem to be spreading & coming back as economically viable options. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…wdzu @nprofile…vqx5 Damn. I miss robust video rental. We used to have a rockin' store that had •anything•. Only downside: 3 day return. Netflix's mailorder DVD service ultimately killed it. I wonder if something like that might come back.... (Bonus points if they do delivery/pickup by mail.

How much does it weigh? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…7ppx Not a typo on your part but a, er, "reado" on my part? LOL Heh. It occurs to me that one could spin up a whole sermon on the "bring in an add'l shepherd" notion. One could touch on emergency (nobody else available •right now•), emergency precaution ("Always go out with a buddy"), privilege (yes, having an add'l shepherd available would be •great•—if we had the extra staffing")—all sorts of variants. 🤔 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…7ppx Oh, "lost lamB." Okay, that makes much more sense than what I read, which was "lost lamP" 😂 🤦 Astigmatism FTW...or something.... oy vey LOL So it appears the library & the gaming group lead did the smart thing and...brought in an additional shepherd! The other nice thing about the way this is being handled is that it gives them a template for if similar issues arise in the future. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…7ppx Not familiar with "lost lamp problem" expression? Yes, the library, by all acounts, totally rocks in their response to this. Report on the latest session: a dozen or so participants hand a lovely time at the common table. Problematic Guy spent his evening with playing with the librarian at a table alone. PG's behavior is apparently showing improvement, but is still not attracting voluntary social companionship. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…7ppx Heh. Well, credit for an accurate interpretation of the response! Some of them do eventually turn out to be educable. I have a friend who's dealing with one of these in his library gaming group. Fortunately, library staff have stepped in to help "educate" the unfortunate soul, leaving the rest of the participants to enjoy their activity. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…7ppx And how did frat bro respond to this non-response? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd This is one of those ideas that's obvious once you hear it said out loud, but—I needed to hear it?

His current one is a soft, back-pack like carrier, so the bottom doesn't hang level when he hooks it onto the back of his wheelchair, leaving his kitty smushed into the fold at the bottom. It seems likely this is a solved problem. Does anybody have any recommendations for a cat carrier to hook onto the back of a wheelchair? #accessibility #pets #CatsOfMastodon npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @nprofile…args *cough* Disney *cough* npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Oh FUCK YOU, Microsoft, what fresh hell is this?
