Hah, yes. I unbezoed myself last year and never was on the other two.

Thanks, I'll check out the archive. I'm not on any of those sites, but exceptions can be made 🤓

I just finished reading the book, it's terrific. So much so that I'm putting this chapter on the reading list for a module on how technology is challenging our idea of 'the human'. Thanks for writing it!

This explainer out of Australia is genuinely useful background and analysis of what happened with the Canada-US trade deal last night. Note that it is extremely and delightfully sweary. Also there’s an appended glossary of Australian slang. ifloz.substack.com/p/king-carne...

I love that, but even more the one beneath it - "I am cringe, but I am free" 🤓

OMG that was amazing and I never want to see it again. Completely ripped me sideways.

That's where older, less space, bandwidth and energy intensive collective architectures could also come in, and these also still exist.

Fialka @stillfialka.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I think existing structures like AO3 are good models to look at - the community itself does and always has functioned as a gift economy, but at some point capitalism creates an obstacle that has to be dealt with for the community to continue to function because http is free, but server space isn't.

Favourite things: binge watching a fabulous old show with a gang of friends, at least one of whom has never seen it. God, Northern Exposure was good.

He comes with the room. Hint, hint. 😼

Scholar.google.com seems fairly unchanged (at least for me as I've disabled Copilot, Gemini and AI summaries) and is still free.

He is gorgeous yeah. And soooooooo soft!

Both of us this Caturday. It's been a long couple of weeks.

A very fluffy ginger cat flopped on a bed with his head upside down, looking like he's had quite enough of the world right now.

One picture, 1000 words about why using AI when you don't have enough knowledge to tell that it's just making shit up is a bad idea.

"conduct that was well within the scope of his federal office,” federal attorneys wrote." So glad to know that defaming women is now an official Presidential duty.

Americans have more confidence in higher education than in big tech companies, and the gap is growing rather than shrinking. The higher ed-doomsday pundits need to get on board with the real vibe shift in public trust that is happening right now.

My first thought here was, deah gott workload. Then I remembered that I actually*do* make a folder of pdfs I've cited whenever I write a paper, esp when it's a collaborative effort. Makes editing much easier. But depending on the field, seeing the raw data would better proof of not AI-ing results.
