Not even a single talk or presentation for GNU Guix in #packagingcon 😏
@nev "The earliest life forms were unresponsive until they evolved ways to react to their environment, he suggests, and sleep is a return to the default state. “I think we didn’t evolve sleep, we evolved wakefulness.”"

The Altmetric score of the paper is 19. Might go up today.
What the aviation industry tells you: "Electric aircraft will play a big role in #decarbonisation"
What it obscures: electric planes are viable only for short distances - and only for decades to come

Q. NGI directly funds projects in areas as diverse as security and privacy-enhancing technologies, digital
identity, decentralised data governance, new methods of search or core internet technologies. In your view,
what use cases correspond best to NGI solutions and how best to promote NGI solutions?
A. Barking up the wrong trees on this one for working #openweb you guys are too much focused on
#closedweb need to think about this more. The direct funding to devs is a good step.

If you want to understand why it is that I talk about hate speech and antisemitism so much, please listen to this podcast
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/honestly-with-bari-weiss/id1570872415?i=1000541010284
(sorry it's on Apple, this is what the author herself linked to)
And yes, I've been the subject of explicit antisemetic attacks, and I was also the subject of pressure to erase my Jewish identity. I was explicit told to do so by someone I worked with (you can guess who!)
This is why I'm so outspoken now, because fuck that noise.
Today is Aaron Swartz birthday. Because of him, we have Creative Commons (development), Reddit (co-founder), Watchdog.net, Open Library, DeadDrop, Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Demand Progress (co-founder), ThoughtWorks, and Tor2web.

How To Fix Email … With Science!
Email isn’t broken—it’s the people who are the problem. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-fix-email-science/
Come on! That's not what I meant. Write for men - actually I think it's a brilliant idea and I support it. You are right, there's not much specifically tailored to male audience in this department.
I just tried to prompt you to slow down on the thought path of "men have it so bad, the world is unjust, etc." Doesn't sound like a good start of a useful mental health advice column to me...
Personally, when seeking information on psychology, it never even crossed my mind that it's gender non-neutral. But perhaps my obliviousness to this can be explained by me focusing on more scientifically leaning literature, rather than popular advice columns.
Having said that, I do indeed see a lot of value in more laymen pop advice on psychology targeting male audience.
