Unbelievable Black Friday sale at my local library, any of the books I’ve been wanting to read for free and I can take it back for a new book when I’m done

On Election Day, Biden will be 29,936 days old.

Trump will be 28,634 days old.

Biden will be ~4% older than Trump.

Is Biden at least 4% more honest?
4% more intelligent?
4% more experienced?
4% more stable?
4% more qualified to be president?

Many, many times that, folks.

Fresh episode for you on a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. Enjoy!

We are #thankful for open source projects decentralizing the social web.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have peace and calm remain in the White House?

Do you mean that you and your colleagues don't have to relearn Git every day?

Who needs reminding?

In the meantime, any folks involved in FOSS communities open to an interview? I want to explore more about the human side of FOSS communities, and intend on publishing interviews to a new blog project I'm starting (Fosset).

I come from a tech, compsci, FOSS, and journalism background, so no matter what your involvement in FOSS, you're in good hands :)

Audio/video preferred, email/text works as an alternative.

i suppose this is how it's going to go:

1. google chrome bans ad blockers

2. users move to other browsers to surf the web

3. google, youtube, and a ton of
other sites that depend on ad revenue dongle themselves to google chrome (and/or any browser that blocks ads)

4. community browsers spoof google chrome but block ads

6. websites try to detect fake chrome browsers

7. *tom & jerry chase sequence*

8. google becomes a huge fan of the idea of running only "trusted" apps on PC's

A small sampler of what can be done if money isn’t being hoarded by a handful of men.

Frankly, I don't care if the "Big Names" of social media bypass Mastodon. What I care about are the poets, sports fans, community activists, academics, nerds, geeks, anime fans, old movie buffs, music fans, philosophers, environmentalists, photographers, bloggers, cat people, dog people, hosers, bloggers, sci-fi freaks, astronomers,biologists, and the marginalized souls that can't find a haven anywhere else. I want authentic egagement with real people.

280 million e-bikes are slashing oil demand far more than electric vehicles

E-bikes and scooters displace 4x as much demand for oil as all of the EVs in the world.

AI will take your job.

Ask Sam Altman. 😅

Great time this morning talking about the big product news of the week - the Lucid Gravity debut - but besides cars, we also talked about some nerdy charging news that could really alter the DC charging landscape over the next few years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP65G7youDQ

Can I get some boosting for employment? I am an accomplished developer. I am most familiar with Python, although I have probably programmed in more languages than most developers are exposed to these days. I totally suck at the google-based interviews asking me to solve some abstract problem in less than an hour (okay, I admit it, I am a slow programmer.. I prefer to use the term "careful.”) - Any help is appreciated in this job market. https://www.linkedin.com/in/scanner/

We also believe it is imperative to build alternatives to the current tech ecosystem & its reliance on surveillance. And building these alternatives requires understanding the political economy of the industry, so we don’t mistake an elegant idea for a realistic possibility.
