Ora: io ho delle idee riguardo a internet.
Il fatto è che poteva andare in due modi.
Poteva essere che un po' alla volta si sviluppavano gli strumenti per dare a chiunque fosse interessato, a fronte di un contributo volontario -o anche a gratis o magari per baratto - i mezzi per comunicare ed esprimere le proprie idee in modo libero e decentralizzato.
Oppure poteva essere che il capitalismo fiutava l'affare.

E' andata nel secondo modo, ma questo non mi impedisce di continuare a pensare che sia sbagliato. Quindi mi oppongo. Come posso. Suggerendo anche ad altre persone di opporsi e supportando altri che si oppongono.

Qui un discorso simile, ma spiegato meglio:

Perché le persone che belano "Io non ho nientehh da nascondereehhh" mettono poi le tendine alla finestra del bagno?

Should new people on the Fediverse join big, general-purpose servers by default?

Descrizione

Bigliettino dei Baci Perugina: "Abbi degli amici. È come vivere due volte."

Even though it was overcast, cold, and drizzly we needed to get down the hill for a walk. It had been a couple of days of rain, and other distractions, so today was to be the day.
It being super early meant that we would have the trail to ourselves.
It was low tide so mud was everywhere.
Summer was excited so she could hardly contain herself. Even with that she stays close to me and makes sure that I don't fall behind.
Hopefully everyone is in the mood to see happy Summer pictures today.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Hunger as a weapon of war. Here are two cartoons from last year that I really hoped would be outdated by now.

#Gaza #genocide #hunger

Descrizione

Cartoon showing Gaza with a wall in the form a a screaming face around it. Outside the closed gate that covers Gaza’s mouth is a truck labeled “humanitarian aid”.

Descrizione

Cartoon showing an aid truck standing at an entrance to Gaza, being stopped by Israel soldiers. The boom gate to Gaza has the text ‘moral compass’ written on it and forms a quarter circle. The bottom of the quarter circle is deep red, transitioning to green at the top. The barrier boom is the needle, pointing to the red while it is closed.

oh sorry guys, flathub can’t push back against vendor abuse because they only have two volunteer reviewers

Avevo appena finito di raccontare delle cose a delle persone nuove (quello del recruiter dev'essere un lavoro ingrato, non so se riuscirei mai a farlo) che si son perse quasi tutte quasi subito ("massì, tu sei bravo e loro sono svegli, questo orrore lovecraftiano risultato di decenni di rappezzamenti glielo spieghi in dieci minuti" è una frase che dovrebbe essere bandita dall'onu), quando una persona, alla domanda di rito se ne volevano sapere di più, ha detto di sì.

E non solo, quando ho detto qualcosa di più, l'ha capito! E conosce parole che fanno scappare un sacco di gente come "tripla di hoare"!

Ora, io non so come metterla giù in maniera che non sembri una qualche avance, ma voglio assolutamente lavorare con questa persona. Fregacazzi se i team sono già formati e c'è tutta la politica e le anzianità, VOGLIO QUELLA PERSONA.

Good morning, #BSDCafe !
Good morning, #Fediverse!

Have a great Tuesday. Or, at least, a good one 🙂

Come fa la gente a lasciare la scia di profumo? Io è già tanto se non puzzo.

Cilegie mangiate: noi 3, merli 11 (il ciliegio è giovane, ne ha prodotte 20). L'applicazione dell'apposita rete anti merlo è servita a poco. Sono astuti. E comunque se le mangiano appena diventano un po' rosa, non fanno neanche a tempo a maturare.
Sto valutando se mangiarmi qualche merlo.
Per fortuna c'è la famigliola di gheppi sul pino che forse mi aiuta.

Oggi c'è l'elicottero maledetto che gira. 😑

Detox Doodles!

I've started the habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

This page is all about cats and I got carried away with the sillies!

Descrizione

Sketchbook page with hot pink drawings. Top right is the date 5/6/25. Top row is of a cat with his lips pulled in and the words WTF written to his left. To the right is a sleepy cat. Next row is of a distorted cat with a HUGE tongue and a black floofy black cat peeking over a table. Bottom left is of a cat with huge eyes and her tongue sticking out and below is a simple drawing of a round cat. To the right are two stretch out cats, very wide horizontally.

as the person who pushed for the alpine core team (now TSC) to adopt a policy of rejecting telemetry features in alpine-packaged software, i have opinions on flathub 🙃

mostly i am concerned that pushing users to use vendor-provided builds distributed on flathub may be exposing users to harmful software misfeatures like telemetry in ways that they would not if those same users installed packages from a distribution which patches out these misfeatures as a matter of policy

i wish that flathub would explicitly ban telemetry and check for telemetry features during their review processes. i would be more likely to recommend flatpak in more cases if they did.

*Well, that's fun

It is the distant future, the year 2027.

The latest fad in information security is making your employees drop everything they're doing every fifteen minutes to sing the Security Song and perform the Security Dance while an automated computer program evaluates the sincerity of the employee's commitment to Security. Armed guards eagerly await the computer's verdict.

There is a report making the rounds that recommends changing the interval to fourteen minutes to generate even more security.

Rispondete (se ne avete voglia) con una parola italiana che finisce per "-istro" (o "-istra" o "-istrə"), che non sia "Ministro".

Io comincio:

The bullshitter wants to replace American History with with a compendium of propaganda myths designed for him. We can expect him subsequently to try to compel schools to teach this propaganda in place of real history. There have been plenty of myths in American History as taught in the past, which met with efforts to replace the myths with facts and serious

Moscow has just opened a new museum dedicated to Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine. In line with official propaganda, the curators draw explicit parallels between World War II and Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

This is ridiculous. Air Force One is the call sign of one of two Air Force VC-25Bs, which are based on the same Boeing 747-8 airframe as this Quatari jet … but with $2.5Bn of changes to each, and the first two aren't finished yet. As it is, this plane isn't fit for purpose without 2-3 years of VERY expensive refits (for security, electronic countermeasures, in-flight refuelling, and military communications). It's basically a huge bizjet.

For Silicon Valley, AI isn’t just about replacing some jobs. It’s about replacing all of them

"...I recently found myself at a dinner in an upstairs room at a restaurant in San Francisco hosted by a venture capital firm. The after-dinner speaker was a tech veteran who, having sold his AI company for hundreds of millions of dollars, has now turned his hand to investing. He had a simple message for the assembled startup founders: the money you can make in AI isn’t limited to the paltry market sizes of previous technology waves. You can replace the world’s workers – which means you can capture their salaries. All of them...."
