A big piece on how the #Fediverse is reclaiming a lot of the important concepts that got corrupted by crypto. I wrote this for David Farrier’s #Webworm and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It leans on @pluralistic’s work, with #ChokepointCapitalism, plus a lot else. I’d be fascinated to know what people who’ve been around here a long time make of the piece, as I’m still very new to the whole #decentralized #federated media thing! https://open.substack.com/pub/webworm/p/theinternet

imagemagick touches graphical files and therefor historically has needed significant patches, especially for systems processing externally-sourced files.

I still have update callouses

@rjamestaylor would definitely advice getting back no later than Sunday evening— can’t rule out the chance for some snow showers to seep into the Tahoe area and Sierra Nevada by the end of the weekend. Could get dicey if the weather pattern keeps trending in that direction.

I use inRoute app to plan my road travels — gives a time/date relevant conditions forecast for alternate routes. Usually gives good heads up on winds, temps, and precipitation.

I’m driving to Tahoe like everyone else & inRoute shows decent travel Th & Sat from BA & back.
