With the passing of Jane Goodall today, we lost one of the most consequential voices in environmental science and animal behavior. In 2002, she said, “We have found that…there isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom.” (Continued in comments)

When Values Eat Their Young: How Ideal-Driven Groups Drift into Their Own Shadow thanks for writing this. @debian.bsky.social you might want to try to read and understand ... kennethreitz.org/essays/2025-...

Why on earth are SMS between Austria and Japan so unreliable??? It is 2025. My wild guess is of course Japan. Sunday out of order ...

And for now, the Supreme Court has signed off on such dubious practices without an explanation. Every American, including those who want tougher enforcement of our immigration laws, should demand that ICE does its job in a way that protects the rights of all Americans.

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.

Wow ... that reads like the " History of #debian " in recent years - only that it is Nix chrismcdonough.substack.com/p/the-nixos-... > Meanwhile, the Nix moderation team became stuffed with ringers from the activism side [...] The moderation team became quite powerfully aligned with the activists...

Exactly what a russian asset would do

I wouldn’t say that open access has foundered. I think we’ll actually be very lucky if universities have the kind of success with language models that Cornell has had with the ArXiv. That’s arguably the most successful and influential publication venue in the world right now.

True.

Uploaded (replaced) a paper to arXiv today for the first time in a while.. and discovered some new features! 🤩 ✅ You can choose your compiler (incl. pdflatex) ✅ You can select the top-level TeX file ✅ There is a new "Review Files" stages that detects which files are unused! 🥰 and more: ... 1/3

"War Is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength." -Orwell, 1984

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

This didn’t age well

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

US products are now no longer safe to procure for anyone. From the other place but VERY IMPORTANT FACT:

Grotesquely wealthy people (for some unknown reason) would like to take away whatever benefits you have. And yet there is no possible way they can even spend the money they already have. #TaxTheRich

#python #poetry is broken again. Despite having virtualenvs.prefer-active-python se to true, it now ignores the pyenv virtualenv already active. It worked like a year or so, and now gone.

#Wayland Stupidity again - cursor sizes ... do you know that #Gtk does just stupid things with the cursor size, because it does not support the "Wayland cursor shape protocol"? Ah and yes, that protocol isn't much different from X11, let the server (compositor) draw the cursor .. #failure

During the February Community Call, we will be joined by Maria Levchenko (Europe PMC, @ebi.embl.org) and Bianca Kramer @msphelps.bsky.social (Sesame Open Science), who will discuss the preprint review metadata transfer ecosystem within the life sciences. #OpenScience https://buff.ly/4h7Oyh2

This is my new mantra.

If a man can’t give a Nazi salute at a party for a racist convicted fraudster and proven sex offender, then what kind of sick world are we living in, I ask you.

AllMusic Staff Pick Francesco De Gregori Rimmel His first 3 records, as brilliant as they often were, went largely unnoticed. Everything changed with Rimmel (released 50 years ago today), the 1975 release that made him into a pop superstar.

And another computer converted *FROM* Wayland *TO* X11. XWayland simply doesn't suffice, and #jriver does core dump on Wayland. I guess this is still another 20 years down the line that Wayland is actually usable. #wayland #fail

Another Python upgrade on my system, another set of many many packages that got broken. Why do #python devs don't understand the concept of **compatibility**. Linux does it. Perl does it. Windows does it. Python ... let me break everything every fu**ing minor version! #FAIL
