#AmazingWorld
In Alaska, nature sculpted this lone tree into a frozen wave at sunrise.
Relentless wind, drifting snow, and rime ice stacked layer by layer until the branches looked like feathers made of frost.
That soft golden glow is the sun catching every icy strand, turning the whole scene into a winter sculpture for a few brief moments.
Bent by the storm, but still standing. Still reaching.

Normalize doing this: This software/feature is good, this software/feature is finished.

From now on, we will continue fixing security vulnerabilities and updating for compatibility, but that's it. The buttons will stay the same, because this is doing the job well already. Now, we start another software/feature.

Map of European train punctuality showing punctuality per station. Germany and Italy clearly have worse punctuality, while Switzerland is has the most on-time trains.

To spell this out clearly, the reason RAM has quadrupled in price is that a huge quantity of RAM that hasn't been produced yet has been bought with money that doesn't exist to populate GPUs that also haven't been produced to go in datacenters that haven't been built powered by infrastructure that may never exist to meet a demand that doesn't exist at all to make profit margins that mathematically can't exist while economists talk about this thing they call the "rational markets hypothesis".

40.000 tapninger tættere på uafhængighed af amerikansk blodplasma: Danmark har et nationalt mål om at blive selvforsynende med plasma. -

Hvis man overvejer at blive donor, så kan jeg virkelig anbefale at blive plasmadonor. Jeg blev svimmel og skulle bruge timer på helt at komme mig som almindelig bloddonor, men ved plasma bliver det meste sendt tilbage i årene igen - der er simpelthen et tilbageløb af blod minus plasma.
Jeg har aldrig haft problemer med at blive tappet om morgenen og tage på arbejde bagefter.

Jeg siger lige det her højt.

Nogen – Folkekirken, Højskolerne, Grundtvig-Akademiet eller andre – burde hyre mig et halvt år til alene at skrive på WIkipedia om Grundtvig og Grundtvigs forfatterskab. Det offentlige vidensløft man kunne lave på den måde, er langt mere værd end den begrænsede udgift til min løn.

The political theory of "everyone is twelve now" really is undefeated. None of this propaganda makes any sense until you realize the target audience never intellectually or emotionally developed past middle school. Just picture a bunch of giddy kids clapping along like "haha the turtle has an RPG, and they've photoshop Santa hats onto the secret police". That's their voters.

Er det her den nye type soft power?
Vi overlader setup af vort forsvar til den virksomhed, der indsatte en White House Chief of Staff? Fra landet, hvor udsultning af offentlige institutioner er en opskrift på optimering, og hvor man ikke tør offentliggøre forsvarets budget?

32 people in the queue at a Danish library for an English-language non-fiction book about why everything about online technology has got worse and what we can do about it.

Anecdotally, this feels like a sign that our consciousnesses (can that word be a plural?) have been raised. Kudos to Cory Doctorow and to everyone who is trying to do something about it while making ordinary non-tech end-users like me aware of the problem in the first place.

Federation isn’t just a feature, it’s how we reject oppression by design.

In the EU, Big Centralised Tech is facing fines for selling verification and hiding ads. At Mastodon, we’re building something different: a space where no one buys influence and there simply aren't any ads.

Checks and balances are our foundation, and kindness is our compass. 🌈

I was reminded of this excellent post

tumblr user stimmyabby says,

Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority"

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you" and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person"

and they think they're being fair but they aren't, and it's not okay.

This is so well put I am stunned

🧵 Page 1/3: Change Ahead!

#webcomic #krita

A webcomic page in four panel:

Panel 1. A cartoony little witch, named Pepper, probably 9 years old on this comic, with her red cat, Carrot. She screams through a megaphone with a loudness symbol, and Carrot has big eyes because he wasn't prepared.
> Pepper: (big and bold): "Important message!"
> Pepper: "My Patreon & Tipeee platforms are changing to a monthly subscription model starting in 2026."

Panel 2. Pepper shrugs after throwing the megaphone. Carrot recovers from the sound.
> Pepper: "Now, instead of supporting my work 'per new Pepper&Carrot episode', you'll only have the option to support me monthly."

Panel 2b (small inset in Panel 2). Pepper's face shows her anger, but she tries to refrain it.
> Pepper: "Was it my choice? No! I was forced, like all 'per content' creators..."

Panel 3. Carrot has a big wrench, and up on a ladder, he adjusts some cogs.
> Pepper: "But, before I explain more, I invite all my Tipeee and Patreon supporters to adjust their donations."

Panel 4. Pepper crouches down, petting a happy little wallet with a smile.
> Pepper: "It's okay to lower your donation to adapt to the new monthly support model."
> Pepper: "Be kind to your wallet!"

Jeg hader, når allierede gør noget så dumt, at jeg er nødt til, at give de privilegiebevarende ret.

"- Er det bare mig, der ikke forstår, hvorfor man ikke i netop denne sag, som handler om køn, har forsøgt at sammensætte et mere mangfoldigt dommerpanel?, skrev Henriette Laursen således på Facebook."

Denne sag handler ikke om køn, men om advokaters arbejde. Så nu har du, Henriette Laursen, lige givet sexisterne et eksempel på, at man ikke kan regne med folk, der bekæmper deres privilegier. Det var et selvmål.

Mere fra artiklen:

"Ikke desto mindre ser Nina Palesa Bonde, der selv er erklæret feminist, udsagnet fra Kvinfo-toppen som et taktisk greb for at skabe blæst om de kønnede aspekter ved de seneste års måske mest omtalte MeToo-sag.

- Jeg ser det sådan, at Henriette Laursen har udnyttet den omtale, der har været af sagen, og nu foretager et populistisk greb, der slet ikke er relevant for juraen, lyder det fra topjuristen."
