Hey.

You.

I know it feels bad. If we have any feelings left, we're so drained. Doing creative stuff, finding ways to have fun, taking time for yourself, etc. might feel selfish, or in poor taste.

But the muses chose YOU. You deserve to live. If it brings joy or expresses determined resilience, do it.

Of all the things the bastards may take, don't let them take your light.

You know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all.

We don't want to be on any list.

And now the US Gov and Musk are trying to get access to all data they have about every person and put them into a big fat DB and run AI over it.

I am afraid what they will do with that.

Amazon will remove the ability to download the ebooks for Kindle at the end of the month. So if you ever close your amazon account, you'll no longer be able to access the books you had bought.

Let's fix that

1. Bulk Exporter: github.com/treetrum/amazon-kin

2. Calibre to manage books calibre-ebook.com/download

3. Calibre plugin to remove DRM: github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/r

It doesn't matter if you use macOS or Windows, at the end of the day all your work will be in a Linux powered Docker container.

Does anyone know of organized efforts to backup publicly available datasets from US government websites? I want to join any efforts to preserve datasets, especially for NOAA. #noaa #data #science #academia #internetarchive

This is a two-panel meme featuring Skeletor, the villain character from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe animated series. The character is shown in his signature purple hood and blue/purple skin.
In the top panel, Skeletor is shown with his arms raised, giving advice: "Start every phone call with 'my phone is about to die' then you can hang up whenever you want"
The bottom panel shows Skeletor walking away with text that reads "Skeletor will return with more introvert tips." This is part of a meme format where Skeletor shares various life tips or "life hacks" before dramatically exiting.

A fine point.

A tweet from Comrade Sisko (
@Pinko69420
) with two raised fist emojis reads: "If we can call a body of water a new name, I feel like we can all call trans people by their names and pronouns too." The tweet includes an image of a map showing the southeastern United States, the Gulf of Mexico, and parts of the Caribbean. Overlaid on the map is the text: "If we can call a body of water a new name, I feel like we can all call trans people by their names and pronouns too." Below this text, there's a URL: threads.net/

Graffiti is a Roman tradition πŸ˜‡

A Tesla Cybertruck covered in colorful graffiti, including various tags, symbols, and phrases, parked on a street in front of an NYPD truck. The vehicle appears heavily vandalized with spray paint covering its metallic surface. A large mural featuring a cougar and a young girl with a bird is visible in the background. The image includes a humorous caption suggesting this is what happens to Teslas when left unattended in public.
