An #introduction:
Bachelor's degree in #Philosophy from Princeton, 1981, which makes me ?good at ?discussion?.

#Zen #Buddhist #Pantheist #atheist

#Radical (for the US) #politics, in that I think power should be more fairly distributed than it is now,.

Master's in #compsci from Pace, 1985ish; professional #coder for like 40 years, mostly for #IBM and now for #google (all opinions strictly my own, of course, not theirs!), mostly on the #systems side. #cpp and anything else really, they're just languages. :)

Greatly enjoy #writing, and I've done a number of #nanowrimo novels (working on the dozenth in 2022). Have also greatly enjoyed playing with #gpt3.

I have no visual skills, but lately I've been producing thousands of images using #midjourney and a few with other text-to-image tools. The future is wild!

@joss, the Journal of Open Source Software, is now in the fediverse. The journal is remarkable for multiple reasons, with one reason being that papers are authored in #Markdown and processed by #pandoc.

I wrote a thing about how Elon has now admitted that the "content moderation council" was always a smokescreen to appeal to advertisers, but he never intended to listen to them.

Also he claims he went back on his promises because activists promised not to try to "kill" twitter if he set up that council, but (he claims) they went back on that deal. Of course, that's all made up in his head, rather than reality.

Exploring another server install.

Mastodon has quite the sense of humor when things go wrong.

Tribes in the Colorado River Basin are fighting for their water. States wish they wouldn’t.

A new water compact will need to be made among the 7 states and river tribes. They will all have to become more efficient with water usage. And they can. Agriculture takes the lion’s share of the water.

@cwebber well when two servers like each other very much, they open an HTTP socket and start sending JSON blobs back and forth

Today is Thanksgiving Day, and it is also the National Day of Mourning, which remembers the genocide of millions of Native Americans and their ongoing erasure today.

In giving thanks today, let us also reflect and act to stop the ongoing genocide of America's Indigenous Peoples.
