Dang, maybe I'll actually get a pair of these now that the reverse engineering has gotten pretty far.

CIRA is the Canadian Internet Registration Authority.

Its CRM system is Salesforce. Its email is hosted by Microsoft. Its website is fronted by Cloudflare on AWS infrastructure.

So much for "digital sovereignty". When organizations such as CIRA don't even make the effort, how do they expect others to do so? Very shameful.

@HowsThatNow @tiefling @VulpineDruid If you're poly curious I'd strongly suggest reading The Ethical Slut. It really helped prep me for dealing with jealousy and knowing what to expect. TBH even monogamous people could stand to learn this stuff to help in their relationships. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ethi

Lest you think that union-busting is strictly a private sector activity, my best friend works for one of the University of California’s libraries. She is paid way less to work for their library than a normal person in her job would be, by policy, just because it’s the library. About 40% less. The university told her that’s just how they do things and that was policy.

The library unionised. The school tried to bust the union. Correspondence about it “mysteriously” disappeared. They stated their official position was that a union was not needed. They tried to pressure the employees involved to stop. They cried “budget” and blah blah. Usual nonsense.

They voted to unionise anyway.

The school is being dragged to the negotiating table.

Just in case you thought that this shit didn’t happen in the public realm.

@HowsThatNow @tiefling @VulpineDruid my hot take is that more than three active partners is inviting turbulence. One of my pals got too excited and was dating like 5 people and it blew up in their face. 🥲 Also different if you are solo poly vs everyone dating I guess.

@HowsThatNow @tiefling @VulpineDruid I have some relationship anarchist friends that have what I mighy call a "primary" partner who they don't live with or refer to as such for example. 🤷

@HowsThatNow @tiefling @VulpineDruid It really depends. there's as many variations as there are queer relationships. A lot of folks don't like to use terms like "primary" and adopt a more relationship anarchist style. Usually poly people call partners they live with "nesting partners". Time allocation is an eternal struggle. Also helps when you have different commitment levels and needs. E.g. my partners that are married don't need as much, wheras I see my nesting partners every day.

i am sort of stuck on this. you have to remember whenever these totally off the planet AI guys describe their workflow to stop and do the math for what that would mean in a normal person's life. so with 12+1 $200/month claude subscriptions and the one $200/month chatGPT subscription, that's $2,800 a month. He says that's the equivalent of $87,000 a month of token usage.

$2,800/month is more than my rent and utilities, and $87,000 is more than i make in a year. This guys addiction costs more than my annual salary per month for nothing. this is the future of software development where you have to be ridiculously rich to play - where he is also actively pulling the ladder up and saying "don't develop shared libraries" - no more "if you have a laptop and a keyboard you can program," not even a fig leaf to "AI enables nonprogrammers to program."

the vision of the future of programming that's being presented here is literally just "if you have more money than 99.9999% of people on this earth, then you can totally lose your mind"

RE: scicomm.xyz/@JohnBarentine/117

This is hideously depressing (here come the megabright satellites, screw you AST Spacemobile). But I am delighted that these authors (none of whom I've ever worked with before) use the word "megaconstellation" with no qualifiers!

Did you know that satellite companies HATE the word megaconstellation and keep requesting astronomers not use that word?

Did I mention that a significant fraction of my recently published papers have the word "megaconstellation" in the title?

I've been preaching this for years. Developers should be forced to work and test their software on Celeron, 256MiB RAM, 256MiB swap, 5400 RPM spinning rust 120GB HDDs.

I'm okay with compilation to happen on a beefy iron.

But the actual user experience should be the absolute minimum.

@mathieui @GossiTheDog I'm a firm believer that developers should be forced to use shitty machines on shitty internet connections so they can actually feel the pain they inflict on others.
