We’re #hiring a Program Manager to lead our #SovereignTechResilience Program!

In this role, you’ll take hands-on ownership of one of our key programs dedicated to protecting critical #opensource infrastructure. The program includes investments in security audits, memory safety, and post-quantum encryption readiness.

We’re looking for someone with a technical background who can balance the operational demands of a program already in motion with an impact-oriented, strategic perspective.

Just finished Enshittification by @pluralistic (absolutely fantastic, highly recommend) and he recommended this piece at the end. Definitely worth a read/listen. open.substack.com/pub/catvalen…

My mom has been running a community art & poetry project using the fence around her home for the last 15+ years, which she calls The Poetry Fence. She takes it very seriously and uses it as a base for all sorts of poetry outreach in her neighborhood. She's recently written a book about her experience with this project which she's trying to get published by a small press.

And in her mid-70s, she's just created her first ever website. It'd mean a lot to her if you take a look! poetryfencecommunity.com/

She doesn't know I'm posting this, but if she did she'd probably want me to add that science is real, no person is illegal, trans rights are human rights, and banned books are worth reading. And most of all, that poetry is for everyone.

Boosts on her behalf appreciated.

Soleil vert et vapeurs bleues
Flottent au coeur de la nuit
Vacille entre l'ennui
Et un délire nébuleux

Blanches sont les heures sombres
Où l'esprit vagabonde
Orages et éclairs abondent
Pour ma mémoire corrompre

Fée verte aux frondes glauques
Entre deux mondes je vague
En océan de colère

Douce brûlure dans ma foi
L'absinthe me ramène à toi
Sur sa peau, ton goût amer.

“Unlawful by design: Exposing the human rights costs of generative AI - Amnesty International”

> Amnesty International finds that standalone generative AI systems, based on unlawful web scraping, depend on mass invasions of privacy by design, and are fundamentally incompatible with IHRL

Went outside to paint again. Not much to say, it’s some greenery. At least I got something to put on the old drying rack :D

Fake green fairytale claims humanity can maintain current levels of consumption (a lie) with renewables (a lie) which are already displacing fossil fuels (a lie) and therefore reach net zero (a lie) to bring temperatures down to safe levels (a lie) and that the critics of the energy transition are all funded or influenced by the fossil fuel industry (a lie) so proponents of green globalist aims are ethical in doing whatever it takes to achieve their aims (a lie).

"In 2025, fossil fuel growth ceased entirely. Clean sources met all the growth in electricity demand, with solar alone providing three-quarters (75%) of the rise, a complete reversal of the fossil-dominated growth pattern that defined the global power sector from its inception until the mid-2010s."

One of these statements isn't quite true:

"In 2025, fossil fuel growth ceased entirely."

"Global coal demand reached a record high in 2025"

"Oil supply growth in 2025 ended up stronger than most early-year expectations."

Making the Case for Slow Technologies

It's time to intentionally slow down the technology in our lives so our brains (and often our emotions) have time to react, think, and respond appropriately. We do not always have to maximize efficiency and minimize friction.

I just posted an essay to my blog titled Evil's Spokesperson. It makes some points that relate politics to "AI".

Good article

> any sufficiently well-trained answer is indistinguishable from profound thought.

on the useful-idiots commentary, did you follow how user age verification got into linux? A legal compliance enthusiast commited some self-professed unworkable garbage along the lines that it was intended to be like the new californian operating-system-user-age-collection law, which some microsoft employees immediately merged. Then, its reversion was blocked by an IBM employee.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Finland ends homelessness and ...

in reply to Brent Toderian

After our current Finnish MAGA administration here started working three years ago we’re now crunching new big numbers of homelessness. The homeless used to be people with addiction problems, now they include 80-year-olds as well as babies. The neoliberal racists in charge now whine on Facebook every day that people don’t like them, even after how well they’ve governed the country (created mass unemployment, record stats of it, all in order to make labour cheaper and to get housing removed from homeowners to landlords.)

This news is old news.

It's hard to pick, but I think this is my favorite line:
"Why did you decide to devote your life to AI?
I just saw so much suffering in the world that needed to be automated."
