I don't really think it makes sense to talk about "protecting democracy" in a two-party system where one party has fully given up on the idea of democracy and is steadily building out authoritarian rule. Nor does success at pushing that party out of power while it remains fundamentally […]

Is it really a math teacher's or English teacher's responsibility to train students in how to use AI just because their future bosses may insist they use it? At best, learning how to use a chatbot is completely different from learning to reason through a problem, or read deeply, or organize and […]

I just had to use one of the university managed windows 11 machines. I wanted to print some PDFs. FFS! That was a horrific experience. Everything decided it needed a full screen dialog to convince me to upload data to onedrive, turn on AI shit or make a blood webbrowser the default for opening […]

I'm loving loving loving this book. I had the earlier version years ago and know my favourite recipes from it off by heart. But either there's a lot more in this edition or I never properly explored the old one. #recipebooks

Bridging Science to the Fediverse The "fediverse" is the term for the federated social web, a collection of social media concepts (Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Friendica, Bookwyrm, etc.) that can all talk to each other by virtue of a common protocol: ActivityPub. The technical details don't […]

Today the government announced a huge orange roughy catch reduction in the collapsed Eastern South Chatham Rise fishery. 🐟 This is a step in the right direction, but still doesn't go far enough. The fact that the Minister is now considering closing parts of the ocean to protect spawning fish […]

@SRDas This is the entire reason the first full sentence taught in every Spanish class in the United States is “Donde esta la biblioteca?”. That why people can ask for directions to this architectural gem. Just an amazing structure..
