Yesterday I visited a record factory near my hometown. Was quite interesting. Here are some impressions:

@steko @bob @charlyblack @InspectorCaracal @Gargron chasing the instant gratification of ‘popular’ is addictive and destructive. It’s what made the birdsite a toxic inhabitable place, an endless contest of who shouts the loudest. Actual engagement is slower, not addictive and requires work. As mastodon is not at mercy of VC, it can afford the luxury of not pursuing popular

@dansup When you take VC, you sell the company. No ifs, no buts. We keep getting surprised as the sale usually just takes several years to complete. C’est la “exit”.

This is why VC investment is incompatible with sustainable businesses with social missions. And why I keep harping on about how we must support projects that benefit the commons from the commons (https://ar.al/notes/encouraging-individual-sovereignty-and-a-healthy-commons/)

Mildly tecchnical article about a new technique for recovering early photographic images on daguerreotypes which had previously been considered lost. It.potentially means the recovery of 200 year old photographs.

I guess if someone could give it a test run and tell me if they're struggling with something before I publish, would be great

Hi USA, here is my college. (Ciencias - UNAM) It has a good worldwide ranking and it has a $0.25 MXN/year tuition and a $0.25 MXN/year admin fee to study there. ($0.025 USD/year total) I think foreigners pay a little more (like 50 USD/year) but the cost of living is also very low. Classes are only in Spanish though.

Just putting it out there as an option as student loans/debt get worse and Trump gets tired of too much winning™ with the trade war vs the whole world.

so we have pixelfed but who will make the sequel, voxelfed

I think a lot about what I call the worm parable. A master picks up a struggling earthworm, puts it back in the grass instead of on burning pavement. The student says some version of, "you know there's so many of those, it doesn't make a difference, you can't save them all."

The master says, "It mattered to THAT one." And continues.

Let us all be masters, in our own way.
