oh no 😅 well, I hope it's improved in the interim? I've also seen Keybee recommended, but I couldn't get into it for various reasons—I think mainly that I really value having one-touch paste, undo, & redo buttons, which is easy to set up in FUTO. (tho I do wish there was a way to have tab, too)

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Having more than one car per house always seemed insane to me before I moved out to Laval—now it still seems insane to me but I can see the utility.

I think so 🤔 In the case of a human pilot you have to convince the human, and while obviously that's not a huge restraint I think it can ever have an impact

Mind you, this isn't me advocating for that solution, I haven't even thought about it for longer than like five seconds. I'm just thinking, there is a preexisting social pattern for the case of we want this to go out to a specific group of people who need it + NOT be easily accessible to everyone

I feel like we usually do that kind of thing by like—treating it as something you need a prescription to have? Like ADHD meds, maybe. Which has its own set of problems, and I don't know if it's ever been done for something starting out as consumer tech, but I don't know it's impossible?

A little Roman octopus to wish you a happy week! 🐙❤️ From a Roman villa mosaic at Villaquejida, León, Spain. Limestone, AD 100-200. Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Madrid 📷 by me #MosaicMonday #Archaeology

My photo shows a mosaic fragment from the floor of a Roman villa in Spain, dated AD 100-200s. It depicts a stylised octopus using red, yellow, white, and black limestone tesserae, against an off-white background. The front-facing octopus appears almost cartoon-like, with a large red and white head and body outlined in black. Its yellow circular eyes are outlined in black with a central black dot which stare out at the viewer. Below the head and body are eight writhing arms.

This octopus and other fragmentary animal mosaics were discovered in the 19th century at the Hermitage of Santa Colomba, Villaquejida, León, which had been built on the site of a Roman villa.

I really think this story would be better if we could tell it to Journathan.

That said I do think the way Laval is set up, it's still very car-oriented—there's only so much you can do to make des Lau not awful for pedestrians—but before I moved here I lived in Verdun, so that probably biases my perspective.

We've been doing a lot of construction and bike lanes and so forth! Actually one thing I loved, before the last election, I was in a bus shelter and there was an ad about the mayoral team having lowered speed limits (which I really appreciate).

Thanks to @sarobertson.bsky.social for clipping this. The purported manifesto is an incel critique of capitalism with calls for a revolution to remake society into a misogynist hell. It takes ideas from the left and right but the common thread is a hatred of how women live their lives in the West.

Everyone is so used to products being from either a top 100 global company trying to establish a new market monopoly, or a startup trying to go x1000, that they can't understand that sometimes it's possible for someone to just release something that a few people will buy and get value out of it

“The CAQ government’s version of laïcité has led to documented systemic discrimination and has consequently cast religion as suspicious and undesired in public spaces, with some Quebecers now naturally concluding that it’s not even welcome in private spaces.”

“Banning Muslim women who wear the hijab or a Jewish educator who wears the kippah from teaching runs the risk of creating generations of adults who’ll look upon cultural & religious difference as “strange,” “suspicious” or “unfitting of authority positions.” It perpetuates stereotypes & prejudice.”
