This post is about the chicago school board president race

Every election should have a “none of the above” option and if that gets the most votes then they have to do the election again with new candidates

i think youre doing the one where we basicaly redid the post structure database that was being done in the background for weeks on main wafrn

"On peut se demander si l'interpellation n'est pas devenue une façon de gérer les manifestations. (...) l'objectif est visiblement de faire admettre dans l'opinion qu'aller manifester, c'est s'exposer à être privé de sa liberté" souligne le coprésident de l'Association des avocats pénalistes.

Cette dérive devrait toutes et tous nous interroger : personne ne devrait avoir peur d'être poursuivi pour avoir manifesté pour nos droits, encore moins une jeunesse qui demande seulement le droit à un avenir.

Oh mais merde hein: Après Debian (https://sebsauvage.net/links/?JBKeUA), c'est au tour de Linus Torvalds de ne plus imposer aux développeurs du noyau de déclarer s'ils ont utilisé l'IA ou non.

Sometime the sequel is better than the original.

Contemplating the mindset that computers have always been largely a negative on society; just certain historical eddies in the current like FLOSS mitigated specific aspects of the damage for a little while.

The fact that the Wafrn app is visibly faster than the Bsky Social App is… something 🤔

Who can win? A whole VC-backed company with lots of employees or one single enby with ADHD?

It feels like there is kind of a marxist argument which could be made; that back when computers were new and the internet was the wild and untamed, computers were kind of perceived as liberating, because they were new and largely unshaped by the base economic structure underpinning everything.

AND now the enshitification of everything; the death of the open decentralized web; the LLM implosion/explosion; the many criseses of ethics in free software, etc, etc. IT's all tremors and aftershocks of the digital culture aligning with the superstructure; being shaped by the fundamental base economic structure.

FLOSS was successful enough for a time, it's just now part of that superstructure.

words only mean something because someone decided that they should mean something

thats why i xnopyt
