One might think companies would know this by now. This quote below from a 2004 Eben Moglen speech at Harvard Law School lays out precisely why the GPL proves itself.
A substantial portion of innovation in software development is underpinned by this license. Extending the philosophy behind it 1/2

The results of last night's chicken bbq. The recipe from above includes poultry seasoning which is hard to find in Aotearoa. A recipe for poultry seasoning is in the alt text of the image.

Marking the 12th anniversary of my landing in Auckland.

The author of that piece is quoted by another Newsroom writer here: newsroom.co.nz/2025/06/06/t...
Again, this is not how it works.
The quotes from Dr. Roche about the amount of funding necessary are concerning as well. Science workers of Aotearoa are already in precarious positions. 1/2

The article is missing the ground truth *this is not how any of this works.* The 'both sides' treatment is a disservice to Aotearoa, lazy journalism, and plain incorrect. Not only in this case, but so many others. Do better Radio NZ. Seriously.

I'm reading @georgemonbiot.bsky.social and and Peter Hutchison's Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism. They offer this definition of capitalism. See alt text for more.
I just finished The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation by Cory Doctorow. NFTs are now gone...

"Autumn... makes a double demand. It asks that we prepare for the future - that we be wise in the ways of garnering and keeping. But it also asks that we learn to let go - to acknowledge the beauty of sparseness."
Bonaro W. Overstreet, American Poet
From 'Meditations for Women.' 1947

This is not exactly the right word. But I'm posting it just the same. 😜

Done! Filtered out the fruit. Added a simple syrup to taste and distilled water to reach 40 proof.

Floral / fruity taste with an ever so slight acerbic finish. Salude!

"Support Collaborate and Innovate" indeed.

There it is all ready to go. Like the trailer, I'm a bit better off than when I started on it. Using knowledge and tools from my tupuna. Reflecting on where I came from. Singing along with the outlaw country music on the radio. My wife just coming back from the swimming hole, cool on a hot day. 🥰

Pulled this final paragraph from the Roper paper (New Zealand Sociology 2024, Vol. 39, No. 1, 39–59) references below. See alt text.
I strongly recommend people following this account to read it. I finished my first read today. Will read it again because there is a lot there to take in.

Our well used set is ready for their next home. It feels like the right time to pass them on. Postage on us.

And funding opportunities for the social sciences and humanities have been cut from the Horizon Europe programme. 🤬

A bit of fun for the weekend timeline.
I make schnapps and liqueurs as a bit of a hobby. They all take a lot of inactive time. Today, I finished the walnut liqueur. It starts out as vodka, green walnuts, and patience. It takes at least a year from start to finished product. 1/2

@nicgaston.bsky.social posted this NBR review piece about the show Collins put on at the KiwiNet Awards. It was clear that the mask was off. More people should know about this. I reckon it will help us come to grips with what she is doing.

I watched that episode last night. It is titled "Edith Breaks Out". In the 70's there was white pop culture thing about Archie Bunker for President. I got the t-shirt as a hand-me-down. Didn't expect it to actually happen...

Apparently so says Wikipedia. 😆

70's as well. 😆

This is Syd Barret in the centre and the rest of Pink Floyd in the periphery. Syd is who they wished were here. I think this image complements the album.

They continue to do what this country has done forever. This figure comes from a 1985 piece in the National Business Review by renowned NZ scientist David Penny.
The New Zealand approach is a bit like one of those multi-step proofs with a space where 'the miracle occurs'.
