Will be moving this account over to @mcg shortly. Hopefully everything migrates as expected.

Since #37C3 is confirmed ( https://content.events.ccc.de/cfp/37c3/index.en.html ), I'm thinking about submitting a talk about the narratives hackers choose to describe themselves. Let me know what you think about these titles:

1. Hackers' narratives on themselves and why they are important

2. How cyberpunk stories can hurt hackers and their communities

3. The death of a Cyberpunk hacker - the birth of a Solarpunk one

4. Cyberpunk is Deprecated. We need a new language

37C3 Call For Participation

A New "Day in the Life of Micro.blog" Photo Challenge for 2022: https://micro.welltempered.net/2022/09/29/a-new-day.html
A New "Day in the Life of Micro.blog" Photo Challenge for 2022

The Micro.blog community loves photo challenges. We’ve done several month-long challenges with new prompts posted everyday. We also did a special 24-hour challenge in October 2020. Modeled on the award-winning “A Day in the Life of…” series, the challenge is a collection of photos taken during one 24-hour day, a little snapshot of the community and the world we inhabit. (The 2020 photos are still available to view in this special challenge photo collection.

Spent the afternoon building this crystal parameter tester based on the G3UUR schematic published in EMRFD. Not sure if it works yet. That will be tomorrow afternoon's fun.

Hybrid I was a latecomer discovering Hybrid, starting around 2014. We had spent a weekend in the mountains of Western North Carolina and were driving back home through some backroads. I was listening to “Morning Sci-fi”, perhaps for the first time. It was late in the afternoon and we came across a field that opened to this amazing sky. I had to pull off and take some pictures. I didn’t notice the similarity until much later.

Love this time of year when it gets dark earlier. I can go for evening walks as the sun goes down, with something deep, dark and electronic playing in my ears.
Realization: the main utility of blockchain tech is that it presents an irrefutable argument for a wealth tax. If there’s enough bored money rattling around out there to fund obviously negative-sum nonsense like this, we can as a society choose to spend that money on public education, health care and clean running water instead.

The new joinmastodon.org website delivered by @oakstudios is live (has been for a little while, actually, but I've been working on it still). I think it's the best it's ever been. Check out the branding and about pages too!
