"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
~Isaac Asimov

The long-running Fedi server mstdn.social (not to be confused with mastodon.social πŸ™‚ ) has just received a takedown request from the Russian government for hosting @Bellingcat, a news site which has long been critical of Putin:

mstdn.social/@stux/11365246164

Thankfully mstdn.social isn't in Russia so Putin has no power over it.

If anyone wants to turn this into a Streisand Effect kind of thing, you might want to follow @Bellingcat and slip a donation to @stux at mstdn.social/@stux/11362379158

btw, you realise Elon is going to fuck up with Starlink and single handedly Kessler satellite deployment to LEO out of existence, then walk away with no real consequences

@davidgerard If that happens at just the wrong moment for somebody in Moscow, it's possible he'll walk out a window.

Toni Aittoniemi

@davidgerard Of course. The people running his administration are too stupid to know what a Kessler Syndrome means, and the people who could vote them out are too gullible to believe when it’s all blamed on trans people.

@q Is there an active-active version of Frankfurt, for those who are into extreme high-availability?

@q Frankfurt am Feature, Frankfurt am Release

Earth Notes

@q I think that when I visited I chanced upon Frankfurt am Coldspare-mΓΆglicherweise-nicht-einmal-initialisiert. (CafΓ© under ECB shut most of the day for example!)

@GossiTheDog this picture is giving a lot of "do a tech CEO next"

Cyber Yuki

@GossiTheDog Jesus Christ. I never thought they'd be so blunt.

What's next, advertising electronic slaves?

NVM, I don't want to give them ideas.

@GossiTheDog This summarises the state of AI perfectly.

It's not good enough to do your job.

However, it *is* good enough to make your manager *think* it can do your job.

@NanoRaptor @catsalad Didn’t they make a zip drive version as well?

Pete Gamache

@NanoRaptor Clever retouching job there, but astute viewers will remember that the 2024’s paperclip hole is on the bottom of the unit.

Back to occasionally featuring a few of my fave shots in the print store.

This group of buildings is quite close to where we live in Ōmori, Tokyo. And on certain days, it looks amazing.

And on those days, one of the group looks just like a strip of film.

A vibrant sunset captured by me in our neighbourhood of Tokyo last summer. A group of buildings are silhouetted by the gradient of oranges from the setting sun. One of the buildings has a silhouette that looks just like a strip of film, with the sprocket holes down the sides.

In every tech organization, there are some people that seem to know every system, everybody, and every problem. They're super helpful, and save coworkers months of wasted efforts, by short-circuiting dead end paths, sharing efficient workflows, knowing which services already exist, and generally having great technical judgement.

*None of those skills are quantifiable on performance reviews, other than peers saying thanks (if they're lucky).

*Many underrepresented engineers fill these roles.
