Social media is constantly evolving in pleasant and unpleasant ways. That's why we collaborated with The Freedom of the Press Foundation to give our users the option to send email newsletters directly from Wagtail CMS. Find out how the open source Wagtail Newsletter package came to be and how you can try it for yourself.

So I should re #introduce myself; used to host my own instance at artemai when that was a thing; decided to get back on Mastodon again because the rest of social is a dumpsterfire.

I'm a #UNIX sysadm originally (from the late 90s) but started using #Linux 🐧 in 91, bringing early ☎️ dialup internet to #Newcastle with community group hunter #apana.

I'm a #coder, #python 🐍 is the go-to language these days, some #js but plenty of #C and some #golang too.

Ten years ago I landed in #liveevents and #visionswitch / 📹 #camera #direct #sports presentation in major 🏟️ #stadiums along with building software for data-driven #content for use in those environments.

I'm a #ham 📻 radio operator. Callsign VK2WAY. I'm mostly interested in signals processing and digital communications.

I used to officiate 🛼#RollerDerby but have streamed it since 2014 as Downunder Derby TV. I still manage socials for and help co-ordinate Queer Roller Derby - @queerderby.

I'm #queer 🏳️‍🌈 #pansexual ❤️💛💙 #poly 👫👬 #nonbinary 💛🤍💜🖤 and use they/them pronouns.

@sarahjamielewis i would like to see you get more additive in nature like decentralized distributed p2p compute portals, projects like securedrop and books like the hacks series - a lot of collected ip, i'd like to see you boot like 3 or 4 different os at once and paste between screens - you need to find a good sales and mkt person and get some rev streams started #content #targeted ads #backlinks

“You give the public the ability to kidnap it & abduct it into their own narrative,” Avital said. What was made as a quickie experiment has become one of the most consequential #AI-generated videos to date, …serving as a piece of internet-native political #propaganda.

#Trump’s misleading #appropriation of the video was just the latest example of the new admin turning #digital #content, produced in-house or found online, into a form of #MAGA #agitprop.

Indeed. Very well said.

As with creative work in art, so with education. I got a request by a student the other week. They'd be missing one of my lectures. (This is fine, we have recovery mechanisms.) Could I give them the lecture content beforehand.

I don't provide content. I provide a learning space: a live encounter with the subject, a place where those who participate can re-structure the way they see the phenomena we study. A place for personal change, not a delivery of content.

(I offered to the student that I could meet them for a personal review of that week's work, once they are back.)
