Say what you will about the French, but they still know how to throw a protest, still got that spirit of La Révolution in them. Makes or little #nokings gatherings look like Sunday School. If every country on earth did this for about a year or two, non-stop, I think we might actually start to […]

Holy crap I forgot that #TheLowdown was back this week for #TheLowdownSeason2 . Most underrated show of 2025. Can't wait to see what they have in store for this year.

The U.S. media is incapable of talking about #China in a normal way, and it consistently makes us look fucking ridiculous. There is no secret Chinese "so-called open source." It's just #opensource, bitch! […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
From the linked story: "On Friday, Mr. Xi specifically mentioned the so-called open source method that the Chinese companies use to develop their technology."

The billionaires of the world might do well to heed the chorus of this #metal classic: "Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a god, why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies all around is laid waste And in my last hour I'm a slave to the Power of Death" #IronMaiden — […]

"In addition to being the best medicine, laughter plays an outsized role in human cultures and interpersonal relationships. The fact that all other great apes, from bonobos to gorillas, also enjoy a good chuckle suggests that this form of vocal expression has broad benefits and potentially deep […]

Sup girl, wanna smoke a bowl and talk about how the struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart? #philosophy #philosophymemes #philosophyhumor #Camus #TheMythOfSisyphus
Vicious cycle-style meme with French philosopher Albert Camus pictured in the center. Clockwise from the top, the arrows read:

I meet someone --> we talk --> I say we must imagine Sisyphus happy --> they leave --> [back to the top] I meet someone

I liked this parenthetical aside by @pluralistic as much as the main piece. pluralistic.net/2026/04/22/uber-for… "Voting with your wallet" is an absurd notion not just for the reason Doctorow gives here: it also makes individualist consumption […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
(If I could abolish two pieces of received wisdom about tech policy, the other one would be "If you're not paying for the product, you're the product." Decent treatment is not a customer reward program, and "voting with your wallet" only works if you're a billionaire whose wallet is thicker than all the other wallets put together.)

Could this be an early sign of an emerging "Post-American Internet" like the one envisioned by @pluralistic ? pluralistic.net/2026/01/01/39c3/#th… "France Is Ditching Windows for Linux" Video by Mental Outlaw: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThTJAlYGqkE #France #Linux
