Also: Bay Area denizens, are you having massive allergies today? I've been having itchy and runny eyes, throat, and nose and constant sneezing. 🤧

I still think my idea of an MOS 6502 CPU implemented by humans acting as individual transistors would make a great retrocomputing LLLARP (Low-Level Live-Action Role-Play)

It's a very odd feeling, having played a role in Web 1, 2, & 3, to be mentoring students who only know of those moments via third-party scholarship.

Much of that scholarship is very good. But it's all coalesced around received wisdom & fixed narratives, and those tend to leave out a lot of important details.

I'm always torn about whether and how much to use my own memory/experience of the events to add nuance, or to just let the official story be the official story.

@aram oh, boy. I feel this a lot when talking to academics about the early history of open source. So much rich nuance that gets lost; but is it important nuance?

(Sometimes I think @davidthewid in particular should respond to me with a citation to @henryfarrell )

luis_in_brief,
@luis_in_brief@social.coop avatar

@aram @davidthewid @henryfarrell yup. And of course the answer to "is it important" is often "it depends"; there is no one-size fits all answer.

Love this from @ismh - I haven’t written much about the new iPads yet because if I buy one, it will probably be so I can hand my 2022 M2 Pro to my mom (since trade-in is less than a 10th gen iPad with 256GB and cellular costs…which is insane. Not for the trade-in but the iPad 10th gen price) and not b/c I need to upgrade. B/c the software means I still use my iPad primarily as a media consumption device. No matter how great the hardware, the software is the rub. https://512pixels.net/2024/05/the-problems-never-the-hardware/

@luis_in_brief@social.coop avatar

@film_girl mild pushback: I use my iPad for a lot of writing, and I'm worried about the "more laptop-like" new keyboard (my 2022 has the now-retired, much lighter, fabric keyboard). But I do worry about the software situation; in particular it kills me that Arc isn't on iPad and (at this rate) likely never will be.

@film_girl say more about the "pre-apple silicon" bit? Still works fine for Zoom for me, and I expect better with the new camera position (though I do most of my zooming from a much more elaborate camera setup).

@film_girl oh, I was thinking about iPads getting worse, not laptops getting better. Thanks for clarifying.

@film_girl I wonder how representative you two are, though. Like @jsnell I also have gone back to traveling with both a mac and an iPad but I use the Mac only when I absolutely have to (specific lawyerly invocations of MS Word, quite rare) and don't want the iPad to get more Mac-like.

I’m watching dune part 2 again and have a question: Paul and the fremen bury themselves and ambush the mining machine… but how did they know where to hide? They had to bury themselves at least hours ahead of time, right? Is there an explanation that I missed?

The solar eclipse inspired our new puzzle design! It's double-sided: the sun on one side and the moon on the other. By flipping pieces over, you can gradually eclipse the sun turning day to night https://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=9636

The Eclipse puzzle assembled to to show the sun eclipsed halfway
The Eclipse puzzle assembled to to show the sun eclipsed 3/4 of the way
The Eclipse puzzle assembled to to show the sun fully eclipsed by the moon

My beloved mom who learned Russian before she learned English is spending her days in the US in awe. She can't believe she can watch Cuban TV on public Boston area TV, along with more Telesur than she has access to on cable in Mexico.

Will she throw a chancla at me if I point out she's way more engaged in Discourse now she in the empire than she was back in the USSR?

@ldodds @tarkowski do you have a good sense of why European Data Spaces never get mentioned in open data circles? Am I just in the wrong watering holes or what?

@tarkowski very helpful document, thanks.

@ldodds “it is B2B” was very helpful contextualization for alek’s document, thanks.

(It is OK to be “tech focused”; an open data strategy that focuses only on licenses, and not on “how will this actually be used”, is… not a complete strategy. So I do find it useful to understand how EU policymakers are talking about the tech…)
