Reading about this xz backdoor story from the outside as a person who is still learning much about the technical ins and outs, but as a psychologist it is just overwhelming to imagine a maintainer in this position and all of the feelings of pressure and skill based identity and social isolation that must be involved.

Imho psychology has a duty to show up for technology practitioners and work for them just like we see and work for the well-being of emergency workers, healthcare providers.

"The facts involving Trump are crystal clear, and as news people, we cannot pretend otherwise, as unpopular as that might be with a segment of our readers. There aren’t two sides to facts. People who say the earth is flat don’t get space on our platforms. If that offends them, so be it."

~ Chris Quinn, editor of Cleveland's Plain Dealer

Server indexes of places for newcomers to join can be instrumental for #Fediverse adoption. However, sudden rule changes can leave some admins feeling pressure to change policies and remain listed.

I am trying to work out the exact location of an Eiffel Tower in Carlos Paz, Argentina

This is it: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=708181540601586&set=ecnf.100042292389471

From this https://www-eldiariodecarlospaz-com-ar.translate.goog/sociedad/2020/1/30/carlos-paz-construyo-la-torre-eiffel-en-el-patio-de-su-casa-80920.html?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp I know it's in Inquilinos in Carlos Paz

There is more about it here https://viapais.com.ar/carlos-paz/a-los-90-anos-construyo-una-replica-de-la-torre-eiffel-en-villa-carlos-paz/ and here https://www.instagram.com/reel/B8ev0Ivlf2Y/

But I’m damned if I can work out precisely where it is…

Can anyone lend a hand? Especially Spanish speakers? Gracias!

From my research: an array of different solar symbols on Innu painted caribou belongings. The images span more than 200 years of tradition. 🤩

If you follow British politics at all, you'll be familiar with Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, who is up for re-election in May. His campaign and the politics surrounding his current term are providing a glimpse of the craziness that is likely to come in the next six months before November's US elections.

If I ran a website that supported Google-account login, I'd be pretty pissed at how they're suddenly putting up an obnoxious overlay over my site's layout.

Why is this not bothering more people? Does anyone give a shit about their websites anymore?

Does Google?

Commemorate Senator Joe Lieberman's passing by playing 2 out of 3 games he named in his hearings, on DOS: Mortal Kombat and Night Trap.

"We're talking about video games that glorify violence and teach children to enjoy inflicting the most gruesome forms of cruelty imaginable." - Joe Lieberman (1942 - 2024)

For anyone who's had questions about this whole "Threads" and fediverse business, this is a very helpful blog post. (below)

My only question after reading it is this:

If my public posts end up on Threads for whatever reason...hashtags, followers, boosts, etc...can Meta use my words for their own profit, like AI?

I imagine yes if my post is global. But I don't know a thing.

Here's the helpful article:
