I truly hate the AI deepfakes, fake people, faked voices, fake resurrected necromancy of real people, digital possession.

I hate it so much. It’s grotesque and literally dehumanizing real people to humanize programmed non-living code and deceive life.

Oslo, Norway

‘The Scream’ View

The hillside where Edvard Munch experienced the panic attack that inspired “The Scream” offers one of the most striking evening views in Oslo.

Former ICE Employee: "I swore an oath to protect the nation when I signed up. I followed it when I resigned a little over a week ago. I am duty bound to report the legally required training program at the ICE academy is deficient, defective, and broken. I received secretive orders to teach cadets to violate the Constitution"

Read that again.

Ordered. To violate. The Constitution.
This isn’t partisan spin. This is about the rule of law.

Repost please!! 🙏

'Basin' (2025)

Last year I had the chance to visit Tasmania for the first time & to have a crack at the first day of the Overland track.

That walk is unreal & very cold in the off-season, the weather kept changing & clouds kept shifting across the landscape.

I self-host a lot of stuff. Nearly everything that I use. FOSS and self-hosting is a massive part of my computing experience.

I love reading about people enjoying / exploring self-hosting stuff.

I struggle when people advocate "just self-host it", without giving due consideration to the costs, risks, security considerations, and so on.

I know that I've posted this a few times now, but this discussion seems to pop up quite a lot. So:
