anyway what's the next grift big tech is going to come up with for using all those GPUs they bought when they thought bitcoin was going to be good
Baby steps.
I made a little #rustic step-ladder for the living room using a maple yoke piece that I ripped down the middle. And I added a removable slide for the junior woodworkers to have a some indoor playground fun.
I don't think #spooncarving will ever be my main thing but it's such a nice way to practice and experiment. This little spoon is for the sugar bowl. It was a piece of birch around a knot that I almost threw in the compost but then I thought it might be worth trying to work that swerving grain.
And there are lots of other examples where folks seem to bargain with extractive technologies and avoid the debate about environmental damage by talking about the good intentions and organization of the makers.

My own testing has shown it outperforms the others *and* doesn’t box you into weird licenses and questionable leadership promises.

angry at fatphobia
my sister has been desperately dieting and losing weight and has lost 63.5kg over the course of a year and she booked a consultation for some cosmetic surgery, video consult, doctor said it was fine and she should drive from Wales to Birmingham to get this done. she gets there today, sees another doctor who tells her she's *too fat to get the surgery* and then slams the door in her face when she starts crying.
Huh, got a 'data processing notice' e-mail from a B2B marketing / "contact database" company telling me that my freelance site had been indexed, and... they seem to actually be seriously trying to follow the GDPR in spirit?
Apparently they delete data from their database when it disappears off company sites, and they have a *very* long document explaining in detail why they feel there's "legitimate interest" and it's actually a credible argument ("you made a company site to market your company, and our business directory has the same goal").
Didn't think I'd ever see this.
25 jaar geleden was 13 mei een zaterdag en net zulk prachtig weer als vandaag. Vijf jaar geleden schreef ik op wat ik die dag zag, hoorde, voelde, en deed. Vanochtend las ik het terug en rolden toch weer tranen over mijn wangen. Het was een dag die voorgoed in mijn lijf bleef wonen.

My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
