Computing needs to be decentralized. Centralization as we have seen it is a naive approach which allows entrenched interests to exert outsized control.

Needed an editor for making text art with the teletext characters up in the Symbols for Legacy Computing block of Unicode. Didn't find one that I liked, so I started making one.

Here is a skull that I made with it today. And I pasted it into Emacs and cycled through a few fonts to see how it changed.

Me, trying to find an amusingly dramatic old Victorian painting about a woman reading letters to post with "me trying to catch up with my correspondence (replies)" and wow... Bertha Wegmann??
I know nothing except that she was Danish and that I love her paintings now!

Reading about a director in Historic Environment Scotland who kept his job after using seriously racist language because "a mitigating argument in his defence was that the phrase is commonly used in the Navy" which he had served in for a number of years.
