I read this some 20 years ago : Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein 📚 and I find it fascinating how much I missed parts of it, I also noticed how it influenced me, how I took upon myself to learn and “grok” to discover the world, well, part of it at least :)

It’s amazing how one single “blank space” in one config file can stall an automation workflow 😅

So…what do we do about the fact, the open nature of the web and alternatives to corporate “social media” are being mined to train #LLM’s and ultimately, exclusively for profit endeavors, that don’t give a damn about IP much less people’s created value over time.

Damn, had my #Arch laptop so outdated, took me a few hours to bring it to the present time.

Sad to hear Daniel Ellsberg has passed away. He was behind Pentagon Papers and a lot of “Good Trouble” #RIP

Do you know how platforms like Twitter or Reddit are killing themselves by the choices they’re doing?

That’s also happening to Democracies, both by choices being made and lack of actions being taken.

So this was happening and set at the time of the Ronald Reagan era.. But it reads like it’s happening today, now.

Intéressante promenade qui me ramène a mes origines de campagnard atteri en ville comme un alien sur une planète inconnue, tellement de point commun sur la recherche de l’identité, sur le fait d’appartenir ou pas à où l’on vit.

There seems to be an encoding issue with IndiePass and Micro.blog time-line / Discover tab.. I can’t really understand why some of the words, without special characters get all mangled out..

Being here and there.. Or the complexity to broadcast from a single place (my blog) to several destinations : Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky.

I wish we could interrop better and unify interactions from one single app

Blocking/Muting extremist or phobic content is not equal to moderation. These are tools to obfuscate content and users without a solution.

Instead it allows platform’s to retain anyone, including nazi, terfs or phobic individuals that cannot imagine letting others love & live.
