Ferndale California
otesters line the sidewalk of a sunny small-town street in Ferndale, CA during the March 29, 2026 "Hands Off" day of action. The most prominent sign yellow with a crossed-out crown reads "NO THRONES NO CROWNS NO KINGS." Victorian homes and blue sky visible in the background.
My tiny #northerncalifornia Victorian ranch town #ferndaleca in #humboldtcounty is a bit of a culture war hot spot. Here was our #nokings protest. Looks small but is huge for a town with Ferndale's reputation. #handsoff #handsoff2026 #democracy
#colorado introduces the first law codifying artist companies. #Artists should care because it allows us to build equity, not just invoices, own your work,
collaborate like a studio/label,

Well we are saving a ton of money on aids medicine for African kids so its fine, thanks elon
Yes, I get that. Rust is more secure, the legal precedent, the gnu gpl is unwieldy and after all it's still open source. It is the end of an era though which can be sad by itself and I'm concerned any corporation can come along and rewrite code then close the source ending the #digitalcommons
#ai rewriting the #linux kernel and in effect kills #copyleft makes me sad. Open source was part of my personal proof of concept for some kind of #libertariansocialist way to produce which obviosly worked. #allrightreversed #kerrythornley #opensource lowendbox.com/blog/the-lin...

Plant folks: just found out about the Open Source Seed Initiative, it's like #opensource for software but for plant genetics. It allows breeders to cooperate by giving up IP while protecting their work from being patented by some corporation later. osseeds.org #agroecology #savingseed #gardening
#wordpress site builders: this is useful. How to make a smart 404 page that finds content based on info in slugs dynamically and lists them so folks don't have to go searching in your little search box. If you try it out let me hear how it goes.

Album cover art for metal band Sanctuary's refuge denied album featuring a dark painted illustration of a demonic preacher pointing a pistol at a page of an open book as a man before his podium screams. A sinister monk like hooded figure looks on in the background
Here's an example of what I thought was cool lol. Incidentally the only tape from back then i still have
The #Grammys just added an #albumart category. Album art has always been important. I remember going to record stores in the 90s and buying based entirely on how cool the #art was. It's even more important now. Good to see it acknowledged mymodernmet.com/grammy-award... #coverart #musicmarketing
#Meta loves #scammers cause #$$$. I was running a #cannabiscompany's #facebook years ago which started receiving angry messages. There was a scam cbd page using our name running ads, I reported it and sent all kinds of emails but fb never responded and did nothing #technews tinyurl.com/yc3z3s7m
#SomeGoodNews A former Dyson engineer is rolling out a revolution for household chores in deprived communities after inventing an off-grid, flat-packable washing machine.
The Divya washing machine operates a 30-min wash cycle where it completes a 5kg load needing only a few minutes of manual turning

Paradox of automation
edit
The paradox of automation says that the more efficient the automated system, the more crucial the human contribution of the operators. Humans are less involved, but their involvement becomes more critical. Lisanne Bainbridge, a cognitive psychologist, identified these issues notably in her widely cited paper "Ironies of Automation."[49] If an automated system has an error, it will multiply that error until it is fixed or shut down. This is where human operators come in.[50] A fatal example of this was Air France Flight 447, where a failure of automation put the pilots into a manual situation they were not prepared for.[51]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:byjjq67p7iau6qufzjmizpbn/bafkreie4ootzzyowpylsxjg7gxsp63iujxh4qceuuxxhwm63yrm2qffa4e)

Keep this in mind as we start seeing more and more large scale outages from AWS, Cloudflare, Github, etc. These are the companies hoping to increasingly automate their systems with AI
Yes, it was ice water hash, I used the full melt and found a poor man's way to freeze dry using a dessicant in a vac chamber. It wasn't "live" but still retained flavor notes of the bud. Aging transforms the flavor profile making it more complex and introduces a creaminess like a slight vanilla note
I have a bunch of mimosa hash I've been aging using Frenchy Cannoli's method. It 5 years old now

Every artist should be speaking to their communities about this.
He hated cointelpro, nixon, and the military industrial complex, he would have definitely been opposed to ice
He was nuanced and complicated like people often are but yeah this shit is next level. I'm sure he would have been like WTF. KPFA, maybe the most politically progressive radio station in the country was the first to broadcast his music and he didnt shy away from being associated
Jerry once made some derogatory statement about people "on a political trip" but was friends with Huey Newton and played a black panthers benefit. Then theres that time he officiated a wedding between a hells angel and a hippy chick telling her to "dutifully obey him and never question" or some shit
