Last month observed widespread warmer than average sea surface temperatures surrounding the #Arctic Ocean ice edge. Some of the largest anomalies were along the coast in the southeastern Barents Sea.

The Index will keep publishing op-eds telling Bezos, his doomsday cult markets and his self-serving liberties to go fuck themselves.

The Atlantic is billionaire oligarch-owned media, and it paywallwed this article on how Hitler quickly destroyed democracy. So here's the paywall-jumped archived version.
It's interesting because of its similarities to today; the power of the Nazis was acquired through the mechanisms of democracy.

@xtaran asks:
Q5. I recently stumbled upon a library with hammocks on a bicycle and many more "service cycles" at les-zambules.com/ (via mastodon.social/@JasonThorne/1… and mastodon.top/@pierrick_taluy/1…). And today I had raclette from a raclette oven on a cargo bike.
What services on a bicycle have you seen or know of? Post pictures of them if possible.

We're still $76k away from our stretch goal to establish a non-profit.
We're already working on it, and can't wait to build a sustainable, long term home for our ecosystem of projects!
That being said, if you could help us reach $200k, we can hire more team members.
Please spread the word, we need ethical and safe alternative platforms more than ever!

not sure where to post feature requests but I've noticed a growth in promotions on Pixelfed. Is that something to be encouraged, ignored or discouraged?
Personally, I'm mainly bothered by commercialization, particularly if it overwhelms the other content, so I'd be up for discouraging it.
Also, Markdown (raised by others previously) seems like a good, user centred way for people to express themselves efficiently. The world of comms elsewhere has evolved this richness (bold, italic, lists & bullets etc), so why not the Fediverse too?

Sudan is being erased in real-time.
A million refugees. A military ruling over ruins. A famine engineered by war. And the world? Silent. Watching. Pretending it isn’t happening.
The least you can do is pay attention.

Yes I believe it was indeed Cory Doctorow @pluralistic who noted this. As I recall, he called building in those restraints "Ulysses Pacts" to prevent #enshittification.
The first post I can find in which he coined the term is this:
pluralistic.net/2021/02/15/uly…
Followed by numerous later writings:
pluralistic.net/tag/ulysses-pa…
Maybe @pluralistic can confirm the origins of this concept for us? 😅
I do wonder if an effective Ulysses Pact could ever be designed for an #AI business...

I hadn't a spoon myself so cheers to We Distribute for the reflection. @hello

Celebrate community, agency, independence and artists' direct voices and choices, not clout cannons, gatekeepers, curators and skimmers.
Be wary of where you put your art and patronage. We need platforms that work for artist needs, not making artists work for platforms.
Stay weird, stay wild. Demand better of platforms or kick them to the kerb. Lift each other up and punch upwards friends.
Remembering Radio Free Fedi
For the past two years, Radio Free Fedi has held a special place in my heart. The community operation started as a small experiment, but quickly grew into a Fediverse institution. In the time that itSean Tilley (We Distribute)

We should as always continue to do our best to as directly as possible support our creative siblings as amiably as we can wherever we as artists can manage to be.
Seek change to build voices, don't shout them down.
We don't have to and shouldn't agree with every single platform and tool out there. Minimise harm where you can and do demand and celebrate good attribution and support paths.
Together we've proven it makes a huge difference being as direct and durable as possible.
Community building is hard.
Being positive in this timeline and tech climate is brutally hard.
Although the hamster is retiring from positive instigator, please continue where you can in your circles to support and uplift one another.
Same goes for advocacy, research, quietly testing of all the things out there competing for oxygen. We can be vigilant for each other and offer assists to those who ask AND warn when things smell off.
Be safe. Protect our voices.
🐹 ❤️

Metų asmenybė Ajana: skaudu, kai esi matomas kaip vežimėlis ar ramentai, bet ne žmogus
„Esi matomas kaip vežimėlis, ramentai, sauskelnės, bet ne asmenybė. Tada anksčiau ar vėliau pasidarai piktas“, – interviu LRT.lt sako LRT metų asmenybės titulą pelniusi Ajana Lolat-Pažarauskienė. Už pagalbą negalią turintiems žmonėms apdovanota A.Domantė Platūkytė, LRT.lt (lrt.lt)
