Tcl the misunderstood

This is super cool. #Tcl has been compiled to run on a browser using #Webassembly. The basic build includes some key libraries from tcllib as well as tDOM. It also has an extension that allows the Tcl script to interface with JavaScript.

I’d be very tempted to do something fun with this.

#CapitalistRealism exposed: This email isn't a prediction of #socialism; it's an autopsy of late #capitalism. #PeterThiel identifies the system's fatal flaw: when people can't own anything, they stop believing in ownership itself. He’s not forecasting a revolution; he's stating a simple, brutal equation: no stake in the system equals no faith in the system. This email is one of the most quietly revealing artifacts of the entire post-2008 era.

At a very minimum, pivoting from nonprofit to for-profit should require paying all backtaxes for the entire lifetime of the organization as if it had never been a nonprofit, and reimbursing all donations ever made under the pretense of being a nonprofit.

The bosses do not want #UBI to be a thing because then there are consequences of workers just leaving when their bosses are pieces of shit

I know that some Mastodians don't appreciate those of us trying to sell our art on this platform. I'm aware of this every time I promote my photo tours, books, and prints. That's why I'm grateful to those of you who boost my posts about it. 😘

#TheDailyMail, lovingly nicknamed "The Daily Fail," is a British right wing tabloid

Activists grabbed some copies, put some more accurate sleeves over them, and snuck them back on the news rack

Europe's Self Inflicted Cloud Crisis

<- Bert Hubert nails one of the big problems in contemporary IT management

Europe's Self Inflicted Cloud Crisis - Bert Hubert's writings

The short version For decades, governments and organizations could run services based on servers we actually owned. These days, we’ve allowed the IT world to convince us no computing is possible outside of US-style clouds, for which we have no European equivalents. And because of this conviction, we are now moving our most precious data and most critical services to US controlled servers. Yet most of European government software still runs on locally owned systems.
