I'm pretty sure all the time I should have gained from the use of Google Scholar as a "good" meta search engine for academic papers has been taken up by the time that I had to identify traffic signs in order to access it

i don't pay much attention to the seasons but I do notice how much of the day it's dark out. And as of yesterday, current amount of dark is: Too Much

At best, opening AMP's governance is about corps scratching each other's backs.

At worst, AMP is the proprietary web.

And now they plan to strong arm the rest of us into using it.

Today, I lost my job. In two weeks, the $25/month cost of the server will become a significant part of my expenses.

I don't want this server to die. The reality is we only have one member who posts regularly (VPG) but I am interested in what #Vegan Fedi thinks about this (if anything at all).

Please boost this so I can gauge if there's anyone beyond our local TL that may have help to lend.

Worst case scenario: I pass the torch.

I want this thing to grow!

i’ve been thinking a lot about software stewardship and software cooperatives lately, in the context of taking responsibility for the craft as a class of craftspeople. i’ve got an essay on the subject on its third draft so maybe i’ll publish it soon but since im on the bus maybe i’ll just blither about it for a bit.

it’s one thing for workers to control the conditions of their toil but another for craftspeople to take responsibility for their craft, and we need to do both.

@nico @freakboy3742 Yup! What technical skills would you say you have? I've helped them a bit by bringing to light that their documentation needed tweaking in some places, and I suspect that as I make apps for myself (as practice with #Python, which I'm still a beginner with) I'll be able to contribute by recording videos of working with the Beeware suite and keeping a public journal ("blog") of my experiences with it.

Hello everyone, I'm in the process of planning a mini conference for the students in my graduate program. I was wondering if anyone had any cool/ fun ideas for different "sessions." We want it to be exciting not just the regular 20-min research presentation schedule. Ex: we were thinking about people talking about their least favorite line of code.... please help!
