I’m pretty sure we’re told they’re Jewish.<br/><br/>And as night falls, the couple, hear an anonymous whistler absent-mindedly whistling the (I believe?) Horst-Wessel-Lied. <br/><br/>I know much of Minco’s oeuvre is about coming home to a neighborhood of collaborators, sympathizers, shell-shocked, etc. So I *think* this is her, but I’m not sure.<br/><br/>I want to read it again. It’s lived rent-free in my head for….decades now.<br/><br/>#nederlands #nederlandsliteratuur #margaminco 2026-10-05T17:51:45Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsx4cvwfe92jtfgfhm3zf8eymjmkjgpv8ku32y2rrqdkvcsdjslnhqzyqepveulvkgtzap4x2r68jdgq24klqamf09wmyekda0saxma9npvsrj50ee #blog<br/><br/>I Miss the Post-Hippie Techno Utopianism of 90s Silicon Valley<br/><br/><a href="https://stevengharms.com/posts/2026-08-15-i-miss-the-post-hippie-techno-utopianism-of-90s-silicon-valley/">https://stevengharms.com/posts/2026-08-15-i-miss-the-post-hippie-techno-utopianism-of-90s-silicon-valley/</a><br/><br/>#sfba #california #apple #macintosh #thewell #wholeearth 2026-08-15T12:36:22Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsx0fm687zdt9hyy22gas6f6kxzfm5jz4ecvw5kr3t7mtf25r72z6gzyqepveulvkgtzap4x2r68jdgq24klqamf09wmyekda0saxma9npvs7ynpvg #blog <br/><br/>Hand Wringing Over AI Cheating at Brown<br/><br/><a href="https://stevengharms.com/posts/2026-08-10-hand-wringing-over-ai-cheating-at-brown/">https://stevengharms.com/posts/2026-08-10-hand-wringing-over-ai-cheating-at-brown/</a><br/><br/>#AI #philosophy #education 2026-08-13T14:00:45Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2mtpzj843wqp7lq23yur7ryhqgjrpj9atp2wgej9k4exkxjxtujqzyqepveulvkgtzap4x2r68jdgq24klqamf09wmyekda0saxma9npvsyw2tfy #blog post:<br/><br/>Pursuit of Humane Computing<br/><br/><a href="https://stevengharms.com/posts/2026-05-09-pursuit-of-humane-computing/">https://stevengharms.com/posts/2026-05-09-pursuit-of-humane-computing/</a><br/><br/>Inspiration from <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub13sjjskhwdl0k3pmuqg3ajpdm3f8r4845msl0xsuql8rx6wwen8cqzmx6nv" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Paolo Amoroso</span> (<span class="italic">npub13sj…x6nv</span>)</a></span>, <br/>Dr. Deborah Tatar<br/><br/>#AI #isolation #hci #ux #humanecomputing 2026-05-24T15:21:32Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswxpnvn0jukskqhhj9uuq4nlmdqk99mlq6rfgft26kd6sxqxjal8szyqepveulvkgtzap4x2r68jdgq24klqamf09wmyekda0saxma9npvs9e3a6p #books #bookstodon I need to read on e-readers with my eyesight (font size and contrast).

I’m not sure what i need and the instructions on the site don’t make it clear what I have to have and in what order I have to have it — it was a “too soon” moment from [@david_chisnall](<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@david_chisnall">https://infosec.exchange/@david_chisnall</a> ) ‘s post from earlier today [1].<br/><br/>Going to the instructions, I found their magic `curl` pipe to `bash` (don’t have bash on BSD, but le sigh) and I looked at it: it was going to download several repos, tested that I had bash, tested that I had `sudo` (wait, what? Why?). <br/><br/>Ctrl+D.

In his community, he is loved and revered.
