@lain We need to nurture people who will continue to pursue ‘kawaii’ in the next generation as well.
It all began with the image of Hawaii, with its roots in the surfer boom of the 1970s and the ‘Loco Girl’ style of the 1980s.
The ‘black’ aspect—which has recently been the subject of much discussion due to tanned skin—wasn’t something people were consciously aware of at the time. I do feel that the influence grew stronger after reggae and hip-hop arrived on the scene.

The reason I say this is simply because I belong to that generation; you cannot refute it by fabricating a retrospective explanation.

In short, if everyone were to picture Hawaii first and foremost, it might well lead to wonderful results.
I don’t think it matters if we transcend race, nationality or gender.
In other words, even middle-aged blokes should wear hibiscus hair clips.

I haven’t been given any strange medication. It’s just that my wee looks rainbow-coloured.

« Seule commune de la métropole nantaise à facturer l’abonnement des 12-18 ans à la médiathèque, Vertou a décidé, en septembre, d’offrir la gratuité aux seuls élèves ayant eu une mention très bien, au brevet ou au bac. Un choix dénoncé par deux collégiennes, élèves en 5e, à l’origine d’une pétition. »

The reason I ask is that I'm thinking about how we determine the relative quality of different information sources and curators. And the relative value of follows (eg here on social media platforms) vs. *paid* subscriptions, as a measure of media quality.

I don't have to pay to follow a fediverse account, so I'm more likely to suck it and see. Where I have to pay to subscribe to something - especially given I'm usually broke - that's much more powerful as an implicit recommendation.

@amd @robin@books.riley.pub oh my goodness highly recommend, I couldn't put it down. I'm now starting Sea of Tranquility and am looking forward to Station Eleven down the line!

@steeph @lechimp

I *hope* my fears are overblown.

But apparently it's starting to make inroads in central places

🏘 It's not right to have to leave the city you grew up in because you can no longer afford to live there. And it's not right to work and watch half your salary disappear into rent.

From Fuzhou, China, Daniela Patti, co-president of Volt Italia, brings this fight all the way to the United Nations.

Housing is a right, not a luxury. And together, we can defend that right by supporting our European Citizens' Initiative for the right to housing. 💜

@doktorzjivago bara lite AI. 😌 Men inte helt bekräftat än.

@itsfoss helix is great but the lack of inline regex replace and grugfar makes me switch to neovim whenever I am using it.

So, work asked for my opinions about AI again.

"I have lost all confidence in senior management since they started evangelising for this obvious scam."

"If any other supplier offered us stolen goods at a price lower than their cost we would not be allowed to buy from them. AI tools should be no different."

"Senior management have clearly missed their calling in timeshare sales and cult recruitment. The pressure to (a) use the tools and (b) provide some evidence, any evidence, that they improve productivity is relentless. It's not my job to destroy my profession, the economy, the climate and poor communities that have AI data centres inflicted on them in order to provide evidence that they may be of marginal utility in my work. If they were worth all the damage they inflict, the
results would be obvious."

@mastodonmigration

having fought establishment Dems who played this game in primaries to defeat more progressive candidates, I can't be happy about this.
