Hello!
I've joined this instance because I'm an ARPA member on the SDF. I also keep a few back-up identities on other instances too.
I'm curious about gopher, Mastodon, OSS, Linux, Emacs, Org-mode,
tabletop RPGs, philosophy, history, and programming. I'm known to
fiddle with Python on occasion.
If you want to chat, ping me!

Initiative Q is an attempt by ex-PayPal guys to create a new payment system instead of credit cards that were designed in the 1950s.
It is free and they only ask for your name and an email address.
If you missed getting bitcoin seven years ago, you wouldn't want to miss this.

“By comparing data from 17 countries, we found that while more spending produces more high-quality science, increasing competition for resources does not.
In fact, competitiveness of funding and research quality are negatively correlated.”

This link will stop working once I’m out of invites.
Just discovered that Pycharm runs on OpenBSD ✌️
Just discovered that there is a folder which contains small tips on how to run ported software on OpenBSD:
/usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/
In my case, I could have found tips on how to enable acceleration on Firefox, and how to run syncthing, which took me a long time!
Check it out when some package is not behaving as expected.

Worldwide #halloween trivia: In Catalonia, the Spanish region, all hallow’s eve celebrates the “castanyada” (lit. chestnut party). A familiar gathering to eat autumn food, especially roasted chestnuts, sweet potatoes and a dessert named “panellet” made of almonds and sugar. We do not dress up, but remember our dead. We also drink “moscatell”, a sweet wine
Here’s a picture of panellets for you. Happy castanyada, Mastodon!

An interesting interview with RMS: https://newleftreview.org/II/113/richard-stallman-talking-to-the-mailman
I think this is the first time I've heard him tell the story about the Lisp machine wars, without mentioning the printer story.
I need you all to flood this thread with cute cat videos and pics. Thanks.

#Google cancels its planned "campus" in #Kreuzberg, #Berlin, under pressure by the neighborhood!!! ✊
A major symbolic victory, calling for the next steps of combating all this empire stands for, and tech-gentrification/speculation!🎆
Congrats to all who participated, with their presence, energy, courage and intelligence! 💓
Decentralized, direct local+global action (beyond "scenes" and compartmentalized fights) HAS an impact! 📢
