I don't understand the idea that the Fediverse HAS to grow to compete with service X or it will be irrelevant.

Firstly a network has to be useful to its members, who do not necessarily want to be driving the news cycle.

The need for continuous growth and influence comes from investors looking at making a profit, independently of how damaging the network becomes to members and overall society.

Today touched, again, by this song: "Kabuk" by Cenk Erdogan.

Great sound from the fretless guitar.

@TreeStarMan The "How problematic is mineral mining for electric cars?" thing is not a myth. Lithium extraction is trashing very fragile ecosystems in Northern Chile, to the point of no return (I know people who study them).

As always, electric cars are not really a solution. Electric public transport, bikes, etc are a much better option.

Listening: "Cuando ya me empiece a quedar solo" version by Mercedes Sosa and Charly García (composer). Mercedes' voice is magnificent in this concert.

I was listening, again, to the video for Rush's Tom Sawyer when I saw this face (at 2:37). I couldn't remember where I saw it before.

So, took a screenshot, uploaded it to yandex.com and voilà: Poster for the movie Eraserhead (1977).

Listening: Michael Hedges playing "Two Days Old” in 1990. Beautiful with a touch of sadness.

Browsing: "Analysis of variation in growth and spline-based growth models for Marecha and Lassi dromedary camels” because I was checking at uses of splines in breeding and dromedaries sounded quite fun.

University of Canterbury: we respect the right to protest for our students and staff BUT we want to maintain access to our services, so everyone needs to use their ID to enter buildings.

In my building: students stuck outside trying to get to lectures and student services. 🙄
