#TIL about @TechFreedom;
"... a three-session programme for social purpose organisations who want to understand their technology risks and do something about them. Working as a small cohort, you'll audit the tools you rely on, explore practical alternatives, and leave with a plan for reducing your dependency on Big Tech."We need something like this in Aotearoa.
#HatTip to @dajb for linking me to the blog post where I found a reference and a link to it.

#Listening to Philosophy of the World, from the 1969 album of the same name by The Shaggs;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQqK1CjE9bA
This album makes Pure Guava era Ween sound like classical music by comparison. But it has an off-kilter charm that instantly appeals to me
#HatTip to Curt Cobain for championing this album, and the #KEXP podcast The Cobain 50 for introducing me to all the great albums on his infamous list.

OK, wait. Ich grabe weiter.
git blame liegt falsch, denn ich habe nur den Source code umformatiert. Habe mir jetzt die gesamte Historie dieser Figure gezogen und sie stammt tatsächlich von @frederic_horn !!
Er hat im November 2019 den Commit "Grafik mit 'F' zu 'Determinanten und Orientierung" verfasst und \pgftransformcm aus https://tikz.dev/base-transformations gefunden!

"This leads to three possible outcomes:
* no government dares to take action, and they keep to calling things “completely unacceptable” ...
* One government takes action against X, and the US regime retaliates so hard that no other government will dare ...
* One government takes enforcement action against X, creating a permission structure for other governments to also take actions."

#HatTip to @blocsonic for releasing music by Louis Lingg and the Bombs. Also, to Donnie Ozone and the crew at Tha Bloc Report podcast. Who introduced me to the band by playing a whole bunch of their tracks - including Freaky Deaky and Nowhereland from that 2021 album - on an April 2024 edition of the show;

@ChrisMayLA6 Obviously, the previous control for prices was competition but given the regulators everywhere appear to have turned a blind eye to the myriad of mergers, acquisitions and mega-mergers ...
We have a system of monopolies everywhere, hiding in plain sight through sub-brands and partnerships etc.
Once monopolies are in place, there path is clear.

While adding @endurain to the ActivityPub watchlist for fediverse.party, I noticed that @forgejo has added code enabling me to add a fediverse address to a wiki page on @Codeberg, and have it automatically become a link to the profile for that address. Great stuff!
#HatTip to whoever had that idea and coded it, and also to @smallcircles for tipping me off about Endurain, and supplying the info about on the Delightful list that I was able to draw from for our listing.

I just started reading the blog of @gilles. #HatTip to @mayel for the link to Gilles' homepage.
Anyway, I read this blog post;
https://blog.gillesdutilh.com/2025/03/the-pain-in-mansplaining/... and saw "fediverse reactions" at the bottom. So I tried putting that URL into the @Mastodon search bar. No dice.

#HatTip to the @fdroid threadiverse community, and others, for offering such rapid and thorough clarifications. Many thanks to @lnxw37a2 @hildegarde @alienghic @plm00 @Axolotl_cpp.
Thanks also to @tootbrute @kurikai for offering suggestions for other soft keyboard apps, and to @snek_boi for reminding me to format the first sentence of my Mastodon post so it becomes a good title in the threadiverse post.

Like a lot of people over the last few years, I've been getting really into the idea of regressing to a simpler phone that's just a phone, and demoting my touchscreen to being a pocket tablet. I've posted a few times on the #DumbPhone tag (#HatTip to @Mastodon for the feature that allows me to filter posts with a tag from a particular account). The first time in 2023, asking for device recommendations;

https://nightlunch666.bandcamp.com/album/measure-twice-cut-once
Bogans rock on steroids, making Deja Voodoo look sedate and sensible by comparison, and raising the ghost of Darcy Clay in the best possible way.

#TIL about the #NivenlyFoundation;
"We set the precedent for member-controlled and democratically-governed technical organizations. We support open-source services and projects around the world. We believe in balancing power between our contributors and maintainer(s) that sustain our projects with the corporations that use them."
#HatTip to Nivenly projects @pachli and @hachyderm

"... since 2010, New Zealand had incurred $64b in costs from natural hazards, at least $19b of which came from central government.
The research showed that 97% of the central government expenditure was on responding to and recovering from natural disasters, with only 3% spent on risk reduction and resilience."

"The fundamental problem, as I see it, is not that social media misinforms individuals about what is true or untrue but that it creates publics with malformed collective understandings.”

#Listening to...
"Annihilation/Billionaire Death Drive is a second volume of anarcho-industrial punk from Te Whanganui-a-Tara’s Displeasure, the digital subsidiary of Unsanitary Napkin. The album expresses an even greater sense of urgency about the fragile state of our planet, and a greater sense of fury towards the depraved hypercapitalist sadists ruling over us"

#HatTip to Alternatives Airwaves, who featured Rebuffering in a Nov 2023 edition of their podcast. A mix of corporate rock, of which the podcast delivers only the intro and outro, and CreativeCommons tracks, played in their full glory;

#Listening to Rich People, a standalone track by Carsie Blanton from 2022;
https://carsieblanton.bandcamp.com/album/rich-people-digital-single
Licensed under CreativeCommons (BY-NC-ND 3.0), as is all the music she's released since on BC. Maybe everything there, but I didn't check every single release.

If you'd like to follow the #Disintermedia blog from your fediverse account, I just set up an actor for my blog that you can follow from both the fediverse and the ATmosphere;
I'm hosting the blog on Ghost, which I thought was federated out-of-the-box. But it turns out I need a separate ActivityPub module to plug my Ghost instance into. As a stopgap, I can use BridgyFed for this.
#HatTip to the #BridgyFed team at @anewsocial for making this possible.

"... when people talk about autism they talk as if it were a gradient, not a spectrum at all."

I've been uncomfortable with the way people talk about the autistic s spectrum for ages, but couldn't put my finger on why. This one sentence absolutely nails it.

"In this book, Sidney Dekker sets out to identify the market mechanisms that explain how less government paradoxically leads to greater compliance burdens. This book gives shape and substance to a suspicion that has become widespread among workers in almost every industry: we have to follow more rules than ever-and still, things can go spectacularly wrong."

"One thing, it's just going to take a while. These old girls, they've got old software. OK? It's just because that's what the government buys, they go for the cheapest software, that's why everything's crap, and that's why the government's so inefficient. LOL.
Don't quote me on that."
