I professionally click on the keyboard and solve problems. I have been a software engineer for 10 years. In my spare time, I develop open source software, play instruments, hike in the mountains, garden, and read books

Exhibit 1: a paper explaining how CO2 concentrations in offices are associated with significant measurable cognitive decline.

Exhibit 2: Aranet sensors are on sale right now.

Putting these together, I would like to propose that anyone championing the mandatory-commute, return to office approach to management who isn't carrying one of these on their person at all times is engaged in professional negligence.

FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies

LLM scrapers are taking down FOSS projects' infrastructure, and it's getting worse.

The worst part? These companies are ignoring well-established robots.txt standards. They have been caught ignoring the robots.txt file multiple times and are now creating issues for the rest of us. They use residency proxy services even if you block all data center ranges. It is like a war for them to collect all code, images, PDFs, books, videos, and stuff on the Internet to train their LLM without paying for anything. It is wild how they are getting away with copyright violations.

Massive result in Dutch parliament just now. They passed 10 separate motions to enhance digital resilience, run more of our own servers & reduce dependency on US cloud technology.

It's Monday, which is a good day to remember that the data broker industry must be destroyed: https://gizmodo.com/data-broker-brags-about-having-highly-detailed-personal-information-on-nearly-all-internet-users-2000575762
Data Broker Brags About Having Highly Detailed Personal Information on Nearly All Internet Users

The advertising industry is immensely powerful, and disturbingly opaque.

@mfennvt @josuex @StillIRise1963 I’m not saying there are no stupid people in Europe, we have problems with far-right too, most likely due to Russian founding. I’m just talking about my neighbourhood and people I know

@josuex @StillIRise1963 as a European I can tell you that I had no idea about fascism in US until Musk saluted publicly and I’m still deeply shocked after that, my grandparents were fighting with fascism directly durning WW2, in Europe where I live it is unthinkable for anyone to publicly flaunt fascism. That's why I still find it hard to believe what's happening in the US

I'm a Climate Activist Facing Criminal Charges for Protesting Private Jets at Hanscom Field

In April 2024, 20 activists were arrested at a private jet airport near Concord, Massachusetts. We’re facing criminal charges while billionaires take off with our future.

"We are living through a period of protracted awfulness, and the end is not coming anytime soon. Those in power would like nothing more than to keep you exhausted and impotent, incapable of getting anything done (especially the things that will undermine their power). So do one thing."
