A quotation from Wendell Berry
Do not think me gentle
because I speak in praise
of gentleness, or elegant
because I honor the grace
that keeps this world. I am
a man crude as any,
gross of speech, intolerant,
stubborn, angry, full
of fits and furies. That I
may have spoken well
at times, is not natural.
A wonder is what it is.Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
Poem (1980), “A Warning To My Readers,” A Part, ch. 3More about this quote: wist.info/berry-wendell/82608/

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
We try to make virtues of the faults we do not wish to correct.

It's so important to #acknowledge the very real and sometimes truly horrible #failings of the #healthcare profession and the #pharmaceutical #industry while never ever ever letting them drive us into the arms of #pseudoscientific #bullshit. This is something I feel really strongly about.

Will we ever get this sorted?, he asked, almost crying. It's such a mess. We aren't really equipped to do this, are we?
Oh, no, we never will sort it, she said, smiling. And we are really, really bad at it.
No one ever succeeds. Stop fussing. Here, have one of my Rotis, fresh from the pan.

"#Mozilla can press on with independent subprojects such as #Thunderbird owners #MZLA #Technologies #Corporation. The popular #Electron #framework is based on #Chromium. It's too late to change that, even if maybe #Servo may one day offer an #alternative. But if #Thunderbird sucked in #Libpurple, it wouldn't matter if #Slack and #Teams and so on used #Electron, as Thunderbird could talk to the servers directly."

Perhaps that shouldn't be the goal at all. For all that the #Linux business is #huge, no #company #develops the #kernel. They all #cooperate on it. The #Linux #Foundation #funds it, but doesn't really #guide it."

A quotation from Peters, Ellis:
«
“God does indeed forbid,” said Radulfus dryly, “that we should make more of our virtues or our failings than is due. More than your due you shall not have of, neither praise nor blame.”

British nuclear site Sellafield to be prosecuted for cybersecurity failures
The United Kingdom’s independent nuclear safety regulator has announced that it will be 🔸prosecuting the company managing the Sellafield nuclear site🔸 over💥 “alleged information technology security offenses during a four year period between 2019 and early 2023.”💥
It is not clear whether senior managers at the state-owned Sellafield Ltd. will face charges.
Under the Nuclear Industries Security Regulations 2003, individuals convicted of an offense can face up to two years imprisonment.
“There is no suggestion that public safety has been compromised as a result of these issues,” the regulator announced on Thursday,
adding that the decision to begin legal proceedings followed an investigation.“Details of the first court hearing will be announced when available,” stated the ONR.
#Sellafield had previously been the focus of enhanced regulatory attention over its #cybersecurity #failings, as the U.K. chief nuclear inspector’s annual report revealed last year.
At the same time, #EDF, the company operating several nuclear power plants in Britain, was placed under similar measures.

Perfect characters are boring – what vices do yours have?
A vice is a practice, behaviour, or habit generally considered morally wrong in the associated society. In more minor usage, vice can refer to a fault, a negative character trait, a defect, an infirmity, or a bad or unhealthy habit. Vices are usually associated with a fault in a person’s character or temperament rather than their morality.
This question comes from a brainstorming session at a writer’s night run by Thanet Creative. Thanks go to Carol, Danny, Janet, and Matt.
This is one of our questions for writers. It is designed to be answered in different ways in whatever location suits you. For example, your blog (via WebMention – ping form below), Mastodon (via ActivityPub), or leave us a comment.

A quotation from La Bruyere, Jean de:
«««««
Two persons will not be friends long if they are not inclined to pardon each otherʼs little failings.
[L’on ne peut aller loin dans l’amitié, si l’on n’est pas disposé à se pardonner les uns aux autres les petits défauts.]

We like to think that we fighg for a cause that can be realised, #convivialSufficiency, but, maybe we are really just better off tp let the ignorant destroy everything.
We can help each other through it. We can at least point and #laugh at them, on Fedi, the myriad of #failings, the #entertainmentValue of the collective self-destruction, #resigned to the fact that the #megaCorps ultimately win.
But help each other weather the days ahead together, in a weird, online, semi-anonymous kind of way.
