It's so nice how much @sacha works to make EmacsConf a pleasant experience while using as much libre software possible. In fact, you can stream the conference with nothing but mpv:

Thank you Sacha for the hard work.

Thank you for all your warm wishes everyone! I am still going to turn on a microphone in 30 minutes, against good judgement. #lisp #lispyGopherClimate https://archives.anonradio.net/#screwtape

- I lost track of it, but I think everyone should attend #emacsconf live https://emacsconf.org/2025 which is this weekend. Not to play favourites but see you at @ramin_hal9001 and @eduardoochs ' talks particularly. #emacs

- I have a note on a bait-and-switch I had missed in the quote unquote #ai skynet we all cannot escape

Looking forward to this year's online conference for #emacs: #emacsconf ... Here's how to watch:

What talks are you looking forward to?
(No, I was not able to talk this year)

At long last, the article describing the #GloSIS web #ontology was finally published. Fourty four months elapsed from first submission, a sustained, toilsome effort. During that time 11 new versions were released, to what is now a stouter and broader framework to encode and share #SoilInformation.

But more than that, GloSIS now encloses a unique wealth of knowledge on #Soil and its assessment. Relevant to #SoilScience at large.

AI, TL; DR:

“…the tech industry is trying to bake a broken toy into every aspect of our society…”

Looks like my migration to codeberg will also be updating my resume, writing some introductory bits to my current projects, and hoping the 10k lines of code I've written this year makes up for a very large gap in my resume.

I'd love to do something other than find an industry job, but unfortunately, I think my younger self squandered any chances I had left in academia.

Making the most of it I guess.

The Trump administration is rushing to bring the first group of white South Africans classified as refugees to the U.S. early next week. Meanwhile, they’re trying to deport other refugees already here. Make it make sense. Oh wait, Elon’s homeland. Got it.

WOKE MARXIST POPE

Let's start calling him ChatKGB

i recently learned about 'bredlik' poems. [yeah, i'm slow. it happens.] they have an amusing origin story, which i happened to find on knowyourmeme dot com.

i've written something that's at least close to one; i offer it with apologies to the original bredlik poet, and possibly others:

We chayst the star
The yeare around.
With dancing feets
We tapt the ground.
But tym spedes up
As we get olde.
Sum lik the bred;
I just gro mould.

So the @osi published a lack luster retrospective of the recent elections, where the conclusion was to "communicate more". No mention of the irregularities in how votes are counted, nothing about publishing the full, underrated results that has the normal thing since such procedures where put in place by @kfogel et al in 2013(?). Then we have Stefano Maffulli (current director) blocking people for asking for accountability.
