    that feeling of despair and unsafety rings a bell. when Bolsonaro won here in Brazil, his victory speech promised to hunt down and exterminate leftists like me. it was scary. we went through 4 bad years, but the tide turned.

    you don't have a Lula or a strong Workers' Party in the US, or anything I'd recognize as left-wing politics, which probably makes things much scarier, but the whole (Western?) world seems to be turning to fascism. my advice is to cool down before making such a momentous decision, and to consider that running away from fascism is always a risk proposition, because it often runs faster. staying where you have roots and strong connections, and organizing to turn things over has some inherent risk, no doubt, but it's probably the best overall course of action for the long run, unless there's imminent risk, in which case escaping to be able to fight another day seems more desirable. I hope we're not there yet, despite the many risks. there aren't many other planets to escape to.

    Signal is probably safe, but if you don't mind if your messages get through third parties' hands while encrypted, you might as well use XMPP with OMEMO. XMPP is compatible with many kinds of devices, and it doesn't require a tracking device loaded with spyware to set up an account GNU Jami is even better: it is compatible with all major operating systems, you can create accounts anonymously, and your messages are not hosted in a central server, or any server: it's peer to peer, and message delivery only occurs when both parties are online, directly from one to the other, with end-to-end encryption I believe Tox and Briar are like that as well, but I'm not so sure

    a situação política nos EUA parece ser a seguinte: o PSDB deles está definhando como o daqui, com a ascenção do Bolsonaro deles, mas eles não têm nem um PT nem um Lula

    vi num livro que pode ter a ver com serotonina. tem gente que sente vontade de comer doces ao por do sol e tem a ver com serotonina e sua influência na produção de melatonina. pode mexer no humor também. diz lá que triptofano, vitaminas do complexo B e ferro são importantes nesse caminho da serotonina, mas não tenho ideia se essa sua observação sugere falta ou excesso. dependendo da sua flexibilidade alimentar, dá pra experimentar variar e ver o que alivia e o que agrava.

    é da hora mesmo, ou da mudança de luz por conta do pôr do sol? quero dizer, varia ao longo do ano dependendo da estação, ou é sempre às 18h mesmo? minha hipótese é que tenha a ver com a virada nos hormônios do ciclo circadiano. pra muita gente dá sono nessa hora. pode chegar diferente pra você.

    tipo assim, o movimento software livre defende a ideia de que o usuário é quem deve ter controle sobre sua computação. não estou conseguindo compatibilizar a proposta com o movimento software livre do qual faço parte há mais de 3 décadas.

    impressão minha ou essa proposta envolve transferir o controle da computação das big techs para as cooperativas, em vez de para os usuários?

    common advice I've heard from experts on migrations over the past couple of decades is to migrate to applications that run on both systems first, then you can change the underlying operating system smoothly

    I'm in no way related with OSI, and I know very little of current LLM tech, but I've been thinking a lot about this issue from a software freedom philosophical perspective, trying to figure out how essential training data is for users to have the four essential freedoms.

    it's not obvious to me whether having access to the training data places users and developers at an advantage or at a disadvantage compared with those that don't have access to it. training data is so massive, and the link from any of it to the system's behavior is so subtle, that it seems conceivable to me that probing the system's behavior and relying on incremental training might be more efficient and more reliable than analysis of the training set, for at least some past, current and future technology.

    since I don't know enough about current systems to tell, I set out to devise a method to find the answer to that question. I'm thinking that an adversarial setting, in which users/developers who have access to the training data compete with users/developers who don't to find answers to questions about how the system works, and to modify the system so that it does what is requested (these are analogous to freedom #1), with questions and change requests coming from adversarial proponents. this would be a kind of Turing test on whether any given system respects freedom #1 (the other freedoms are much easier to tell), and it could be applied to any future such systems as well. has any such thing been considered? does it seem worth doing, or even thinking more of? cc: @joshuagay @zacchiro @freemo

    "seemingly" is quite a give away that the polarization isn't perceived as permanent (god-given?) as it is in the usa. anyhow, entrenched doesn't mean impossible to replace, just harder. I wonder how much change replacing one two party system with another actually brought.

    Cynicism is easy. It asks nothing of you or the world. Cynicism delights in despair.

    Hope is brave. Hope takes work. Hope makes you take responsibility for doing your part, however small, to steer the world toward where it should be.

    Do something brave. Have hope. And then do your part.
