the new, potentially illiterate, president is on the record saying his approach to dealing with numbers that seem bad is to stop gathering or reporting the numbers. his plan for getting the trains to run on time is to simply say that they are, whether or not that's true

or better yet. get active. we're out here pushing counter propaganda in the streets and we don't see you out here, people for whom Harris wasn't good enough. we're doing the work outlined in all that theory you tell us to read, but we don't see you out here. it makes me think that crowd never understood what we were trying to do. for thousands of years our ancestors have passed down to us stories about charismatic authoritarians tricking people into believing a prior story of liberation grants them the mandate of heaven to take control and kill the non-believers and now in your religious furor to stick to karl marx's story you are missing the bigger picture. the people gaining power interpret the book of revelations literally. they think they have to all gather for a big final battle to the death. they ignore that core to the story of revelations is an antichrist who doesn't believe any of the things christ taught but uses charisma to wipe out the minority of good christians who kept to the teachings of christ who achieve eternal presence in the kingdom of heaven.

i read this story differently. to me, i think about what christians were experiencing at the time. they were having a genocide enacted against them. the romans were killing and torturing this radically egalitarian religion as it existed at the time. they justified this killing through religious means to the people. revelations is an instruction manual about how to recognize and resist authoritarianism. one that people consistently use to justify authoritarianism. it's the absolute cruelest joke in the world.

i took a month long hiatus and am probably gonna continue that pattern. the threadiverse has gone completely insane the last couple months and i worry about the people for whom this is their sole gateway into the fediverse, and what they think the consensus on what reality is. i'm mostly on mastodon at this point and have been just… talking to my neighbors more

took out some unnecessary letters, changed how to spell gray so everyone's always confused about which is right. overall good stuff

i think some big project, something really important, needs to migrate for the masses of devs to move too

I dunno. I just feel less like I'm experiencing a fun new tool for communication the last few weeks. The communities here on Beehaw are still great and fantastic and aren't what I'm bothered by. It's just when I venture out in the world (which I often do) that I notice conversations are much more argumentative than I remember them being.

How's everyone else doing? Is this a minor vibez check?

 

(I mostly need this link for work tomorrow, but I thought maybe some folks here would be interested)

Minnesota Vikings, pt 2: 1970-1974 (piped.palveluntarjoaja.eu)
submitted 1 year ago by Cube6392 to c/sports
 

Jon Bois' and Alex Rubenstein's documentary about the Minnesota Vikings continues. Will Bud Grant win a Super Bowl this episode? Will someone freeze to death? Who will perform a feat of humanity so impressive that we will become lifelong fans, not for their exploits on the football field, but for their acts of humanity outside the world of sport? Tune in to find out!

 

The Hacker News and reddit.com/r/vim take on NeoVim is frequently that NeoVim has done tremendous harm to the overall Vim community and that the NeoVim developers aren't respectful to Beam. Having been involved in both commubitues, I have never been able to track where that idea came from. Vim has accelerated in features drastically since 2013 and the NeoVim team often goes out of their way to speak well of Bram.

JustinMK, the main organizer these days of NeoVim has pinned this issue to increase its visibility. I'm not really fully certain what should be the most fitting tribute, but its hard to express how much impact Bram has in the world of software development through his flexible improvement to a text editor from 1975. He's also been an excellent benevolent dictator for life over the Vim community throughout its existence and it feels like the world of open source software got just a little bit worse for his loss this week.

This is a very interesting article about the long-term sustainability of the Fediverse for moderators, administrators, and developers. We've already had two of our lovely Beehaw admins take breaks to take care of themselves as they experience the burnout associated with maintaining a community, and I think for a lot of use we already know how exhausting it can be to take a center stage position in an online community.

Unfortunately, I don't have any great starting points for what to do, but at least talking about it is a start.

 

The title I have assigned this article is intentionally boring. The article's body goes out of its way to not provide simple summaries, silver bullets, or otherwise give a single size fits all answer to everything. The author actually gave it a fun title that, I felt, did a slight disservice to their overall point, but hey, we all make our own decisions.

I thought there was some interesting stuff in there about the Fediverse at large, even if that wasn't expressly what the author was getting at.

 

I just went for my run. And wanted to talk about it with some of my new social connections here on the threadiverse. I used to run a lot. Like a lot a lot. 100 miles a week sometimes. I was a long distance specialist trying to qualify for Olympic marathon trials. Injuries and old age have ended that chapter of my life and I often find myself needing to remind myself to be proud of my ~10mi/w workload because that's more than a lot of people my age in my profession do.

Today I just ran around my neighborhood. There's a nice park nearby but I don't get to go to it very often because the street I have to run down to get there can be pretty scary. I think access to green spaces is something that often goes neglected in community planning in my country

 

It gives me hope for the future of beehaw refederating with that instance. They host some interesting communities. To be clear, I fully support beehaw defederating, it's just heartwarming to see instance admins do things that move things forward
