Finished my first week working for #Cosylab where our department is working on #astronomy and #space projects for #ESA (European Space Agency) and #ESO (European Southern #Observatory). We're using my favourite tools like C++, Qt and #Linux. Can't get much closer to perfection, or as the Japanese would say, #ikigai 😀 In particular, I'll be working on the control software for 39-metre #ELT - Extremely Large #Telescope planned to be finished in 2025, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-10fipc27w

"After everything that has been going on with the privacy crisis and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg going to Washington to speak with members of Congress, I felt that this video was timely. I think social media can be good but we must be careful with how we use it."

Kdenlive is available for Linux, Mac and Windows from https://kdenlive.org
If you're sick of permanently renting Adobe's "creative cloud" just to access Premiere, maybe give Kdenlive a go instead?

‘Degrowth’ is a term that is increasingly mobilized by scholars and activists to criticize the hegemony of growth – and a proposal for a radical reorganization of society that leads to a drastic reduction in the use of energy and resources and that is deemed necessary, desirable, and possible. Degrowth starts from the fact – demonstrated by an increasing number of studies – that further economic growth in industrialized countries is unsustainable.

All of these directly impact our lives.
We need to proceed with digitalisation in a way that it does not jeopardise privacy, data protection, fundamental rights, human dignity, and all the achievements made in the EU in this regard @[email protected] ⬇️

As I am cleaning up my backup drive as step 1 in a long series of recovery steps, I want to post a plug for this wonderfully-useful piece of software: "filelight" that makes this MUCH easier.
This is a great (and fast, even on huge multi-TB drives!) way to visualize what is taking up space on your filesystems, and thus prioritize what to clean up.
Available in standard Linux distributions, but here's the upstream link:

A tool that monitors how long kids are in the bathroom via an electronic hall pass is now in 1,000 American schools.
Raises concerns on "the type of environment schools are creating and whether it is humane and just."

Biggest fallacy in online privacy issue
\* The biggest fallacy in the online privacy [issue] is that there is a [real] difference between "state surveillance" and "commercial surveillance."\*
In fact, government surveillance operates through commercial surveillance. Both wholesale (surveillance of the whole net) and retail (think of Amazon Ring cameras).
We need to restrict the deployment of massive surveillance systems regardless of who operates them.

@pluralistic new book "Chokepoint Capitalism" seems to describe related phenomena to where these 'creative' AI's are operating and disrupting the artists' world.
From birdsite 
: "What is "chokepoint capitalism?" It's when a multinational monopolist (or cartel) locks up audiences inside a system that they control, and uses that control to gouge artists, creating toll booths between creators and their audiences."
