Our next #permacomputing meetup is Thursday, May 26 at 7:00 PM EDT. We talked a lot about slide rules last month, so we'll start with a demo on how to use one.

We're planning to run an audio stream so people can participate remotely. Stay tuned for details! https://iffybooks.net/event/permacomputing-may-2022/

The light switch by our front door has this row of programmable multi-color LEDs, and I set it up to reflect the latest regional covid-in-wastewater numbers on an exponential scale. So right now it looks like this...

Go out and vote today, Pennsylvania!

Hey! Do you live in Philly? Are you pissed about the city allowing a private developer to cut down over 100 trees on public, city-owned park land, including tons of heritage and mid-restoration plants, for a freaking golf course?

Let your voices be heard!

Never read Dracula before? Would you like to read it.... over RSS? Dracula is entirely made up of letters, telegrams, newspaper articles. Each has a date, between May 3rd and November 10th, Last year, and now this year, Dracula Daily has offered people the ability to read the classic novel "in real time". It just started, so if you add https://draculadaily.substack.com/feed to your newsreader, you can follow along this year. #rss

I can see the benefits of people being able to edit their posts for typos etc but the potential for abuse is obvious. @Gargron and co have thought of this ...

... but all this creates a burden of auditing work that will be carried disproportionately by responsible users.
