  1. Did you know that 0,03% of all #debian :debian: computers in the world that have #popcon installed have installed #offpunk ?

    qa.debian.org/popcon.php?packa

    If only 12 Debian users reading this posts without both offpunk and popcon installed decide to install both, the ratio would switch to 0,04%.

    Ok, that’s absolutely pointless. Shut up stupid brain for making me think about that!

  2. Vintage DebConf7 gem: Alain Schröder on "Data Mining Popcon" — how Debian's Popularity Contest can suggest packages. A fascinating mix of data mining and package management for Debian fans! #Debian #DebConf7 #DataMining #Popcon #PackageManagement #OpenSource #Linux #FOSS #English

  3. So, ich hoffe, Ihr habt alle #Popcon am Start. #Fritze #Merz will es ein weiteres Mal wissen. Auf gehts.

    His did the Truss reign fail to kill off the #PopCon crazies?

  5. The Tories (conservatives in UK-speak) have lost government, bigly, and have also lost the plot. Their PopCon gathering (Popular Conservatism 😁😆😅😂🤣) had one (1) sitting MP present (who wasn't speaking) and Jacob Reese-Mogg, the man (?) who had to take his nanny campaigning, was for a short time the only sensible person there. Then he reverted back to normal.

    What is great about the #popcon movement is that it sets itself up in opposition to the saner elements of the conservative party.... for them the enemy is not #labour but others in their own party

    If they continue, it basically ensures they will continue to decline

  7. It’s interesting that, having lost to Labour, the Tories have decided the votes they lost to Reform are the ones they need to chase. Because the ones they lost to Labour and LibDems don’t matter. Nor do the voters who stayed home. They never wanted those votes anyways.

  8. In every single election over at least the last 50 years, the majority of UK voters have voted for Left or Centre-Left parties. Every single one. Including, obviously, the one last week.

    So, it’s pretty deluded of #Braverman to say, this week, that the reason the Tories lost is because some Tories aren’t leaning far enough to the Right.

  9. Some in the “Tory party think it was everyone's fault but their own”, you say?

  10. #Braverman said: "We were going to use our Brexit freedoms and stop waves of illegal migrants. We were going to cut taxes. We were going to stop the lunatic woke virus. We did none of this."

    She continued: "Our problem is that the liberal Conservatives who trashed the Tory party think it was everyone's fault but their own.”

  11. Occasionally (these days) I'm proud to be a Brit.

    The Pop Con's website is open for sign-up.

    It has not gone unnoticed that you can have your name displayed when signing up.

    Cue typical Brit carnage and a whole load of sweary and fake names, incl. Head of Lettuce and Seymor Butts .... 🤣 🤣🤣

  12. Somehow, despite being the exact demographic to be intrigued by this story (someone who spent their teenage years watching Neighbours religiously) I missed it: Holly Valance at #PopCon admiring Truss and Rees Mogg.

    Reminds me of 1998…at uni, my partner clubbed together with flatmates to buy the domain name for Holly Vallence…yup they were studying law, politics and maths…but couldn’t spell.

  13. Having a Tory splinter group whose policies are based on delusion and wishful thinking call itself “Popular Conservatism” is a bit on the nose, don’t you think?

  14. Well, it's certainly a con.

    The elite's latest attempt to get the plebs to vote against their own interests.

  15. We have environmental destroyers close to home as well. Someone is paying for Liz #Truss to keep spouting this authoritarian bile. Todays efforts at the deliberately innocent sounding #PopCon:

    ‘the ideology of leftists disguising themselves as environmentalists is about “taking power away from families and giving it to the state and unelected bodies” and is drowning out the need for cheaper energy, and hit out at the government for “pandering to the anti-capitalists”

  16. Delighted to say that a panel called "Archiving the 80s," proposed by the very great #RickyRodriguez at UC Riverside, has been accepted for the #PopConference this March. Besides Ricky, @anniezaleski (and @andyzax as moderator) I'm on the panel too! My presentation summary follows. #music #popcon #PopCon2024 #Bauhaus #undeadundeadundead

  17. Okay getting my brain together after a full morning but the #PopConference has announced details of the 2024 conference -- it'll be in LA, early March, you have six weeks to pitch something, the theme is legacy, see you there! #popcon popconference.org/post/2024-po

    I went to a workshop at #PopCon in Seattle about record collectors getting rid of their collections

    And it turned out to be about collectors who did not have irreplaceable one of a kind 78s, but just huge collections of every Led Zeppelin record or whatever

    So, really expensive collections, but nothing a museum would want

    So that turned out to be interesting, but in a different way

    It was more about estate planning, and what you or your kids would have to do
