Furthermore I could not HELP thinking about how Fanon denounced the shifting of power from colonialists to domestic bourgeoisie and the analogy to our current digital sovereignty fight. Carney wants to say no to US Big Tech and looks to our maple tech oligopoly to “liberate” us!? READ YOUR FANON!
Replies
I took 4300 words worth of notes on this book. Not even nearly enough. It is packed full of detail and gave me so much nuance about Fanon’s life, written works, and legacy. If you want to do a deep dive on Fanon, this is a great choice (I say as a non-specialist)
@manton any links that you recommend? I am curious to catch up too. I have been deep in OSS local model territory for the last while and wondering where to start in catching up on Apple moves.
@newsmastfoundation.org Congratulations!! 🎉
@tylerjfisher.com Congrats!! 🥳
@goose.art Go for a Supernote mate, it was made for that and is way better than Boox. (I own a Boox and regret the purchase. My two buds got Supernotes afterwards and love them)
@tylerjfisher.com This is great! Love the interop on display. Amazing work Tyler! 👏
@chrisshank.com @bankonjustin.com can we put standard.site into the ear of Behiiv???
Our HS is grades 8-12. Most of the kids just laugh and point and roll their eyes. It was 5 grown adults on the other side of the street with signs. I am just wondering about younger kids or others that might be triggered needlessly. Most are like “whatever bruh”
This is a high school. It seems rather orderly. Teachers and principal knew about it yesterday and made plans to keep kids safe. I will find out what happened inside the school once they get home.
I think it bans them from setting foot on school grounds. They are out on the street, not technically disrupting or impeding anyone.
@danhon.com Us too 🇨🇦
@alexbenzer.com - Ability to re-order the photos before posting
- probably make a list layout for more complex photo prep, 4 columns with an ordering drag handle, thumbnail, alt text field, remove image
- save locally as draft before posting
- crop focus like Ice Cubes on Mastodon would be a nice to have
@timtrautmann.com Oh! He already released. Thanks Tynan! 🤜🤛
@timtrautmann.com Yes please! 🙏
@wisp.place They talk a lot about reverting to types in this too

@wisp.place It always comes back to types with you people…
Just my type! 😊
@goose.art I don’t even think Intel ranks in the top 10 now (or even in the last few years)
@hyl.st I find if I know how to structure a problem an open model works fine. If I don’t know what the hell I am doing Claude is better at making sense of things. That’s kinda where I am at. And also having a few local models on hand for different kinds of things (speedy answers vs heavy RAG etc)
I have been corrected on Mastodon. Apparently it is a d10 😊

@naheller to be honest it reads like a narrative history! I can’t tell if I have even read any fiction yet! It is absolutely stunning, and I wish I had more context of the physicists of the time. There are probably a million more jokes that are going over my head. Definitely worth picking up.
(TBH I was happy with being user 87 and never thought about verification. That was my badge of honor 🎖️ But at ATmosphere this year everyone had those ✔️ buttons so I finally filled out the form. Probably 10millionth in line right now)
Yeah there is some issue with the Bluesky 🤝 registrar. Support has been on it for a couple of weeks. I hope they verify me once they fix it for the inconvenience 😉
We aim to please!
@stefp I had Sony noise cancelling headphones from about 2015 that were perfect. but they were getting old and tatty so last year I went on a quest for new ones. Bought and returned 5 pairs of headphones, discovered ANC sickness, and ended up with Momentum 4s using ZERO noise-cancelling ☹️
@cygnoir Another reason for me to get a Kobo!
@byarielm.fyi Used Fastmail for 10 years. Tried to Proton when I started my consultancy 2 years ago and within months just migrated it to Fastmail.
@bmann.ca lol. Yeah for sure. If I could find funding to actually properly PAY you for that kind of great work you know I would! Always enjoy your deep dives.
@bmann.ca Can we expect a 40k word blog post? Pretty please? 🥹
@rosano.ca Lotta gold in here! Thanks
@omg.jacky.wtf “The problem here is that pretty much any alternative search engine is still going to be pulling at least some of their results from Bing or Google…
Ecosia and Qwant began serving some of their search results from their European search index in August 2025, but it’s still a work in progress.”
@omg.jacky.wtf Context:
“I don’t feel it’s feasible to give up all US social media. I’ve definitely been cutting back over the past year, to the degree that Bluesky is my main platform now and I mainly only use my other accounts to share my work”
There are non-US alts for search

@chadkoh This one has an end-to-end system:
@chadkoh A couple more entries in the genre:
This one has some good prompts for Qwen to help out
@joanwestenberg.com Me too… the one I had in mind was released in 2011
@goose.art A few years ago someone introduced my mother to Cards Against Humanity. You would not believe the questions I had to field after that! 😳
@bmann.ca Yep thread management is powerful but you have to have a librarian/ archivist type peep who enjoy that kinda thing on your team. Luckily, any team with me automagically gets one! 👍🤠👍
this sequence with the Green Snake actually kicking the spears back to the warriors is impressive! I can’t wait to see a live opera in Vancouver

@hyl.st Hopefully your system can filter down to @hyl.st
He is one of the most thoughtful, skilled devs I know. He helps maintain our @commonscomputer.com stack (including the mini pc @z-space.ca that hosts many of our PDSs) in his spare time, is community-oriented, gives great talks, and is a good human!
@hyl.st @hyl.st @apenwarr.ca yes! It is one of the places on my list of good places to be. I’ve tried but hard to get even an interview.

@zeu.dev What a great shot!
@felicitas.pojtinger.com Oh and nice modal.cx shoutout at the end. 👍
@felicitas.pojtinger.com Well I listened to the whole thing.
@felicitas.pojtinger.com Omg 1.5hours! 😮
@rjjago.bsky.social Stephen Walt and Chris Hedges ripped the Trump admin up yesterday. Last year Dr Cornell West’s room was packed! There are some weird politics at play at WebSummit.
Had a coffee in my off hand. Sorry too disapPOINT! 🙃
We will endeavour to do better going forward. — The Editors ☝️🤓
