Finally reading The Martian. Why only now, I don’t know, bought it on Kindle today on a whim… and can’t stop. I’ll finish it today I’m pretty sure. A-ma-zing
Nope, haven’t seen the movie. And all I know of it was that he was left behind (not even exactly why/how) and that he grew potatoes and that he was played by Matt Damon. ;-D
#Wissenschaft am #Morgen
Für mich ist das nicht rätselhaft: Wenn die #Tardis ihre #Energievorräte auflädt, dann passiert das eben mal. Was daran erstaunlich ist, weiß ich jetzt auch nicht.
Pilot episode in free download here https://archive.org/details/tranSFixion
or watchable here (but don't forget to activate the english subtitles) https://youtu.be/c6k-9TCQgZw
What is tranSFixion ?
well it's the first webserialbum ever done on earth.
Actually only the first episode is done, call it a pilot. But 30 more are written. The style seems a strange mix between William S. Burroughs novels and Alain Resnais Film or early Alain Robbe-Grillet. And of course if you seek something similar you will think to "The Jetty" by Chris Marker or "The adventures of Eddie Turley" by Gérard Courant...
Despite some can unvolontary influence us, it's our own style.
Story by studio 112 https://studio112.bandcamp.com/ & Film by ed end https://ello.co/ed_end/
Special thanks to Cyrille M. & Stéphane P. & Ben P. for help us.
Filmed mostly at La Réunion.
No budget at its Best ?
These days most of the films are extremely demonstrative, showing everything, perhaps producers think the audience is brainless, we think the audience is the best part of the film, able to use its imagination to upgrade it. Like in "Venom & Eternity" by Isidore Isou or Bertolt Brecht's theatrical convention.
Also we've begin work on it at the same time than we launch PIRATE Tapes project. The soundtrack is made with music available in free download

Empuissanter le vivant
Je me permet de vous transmettre une annonce d'un évènement organisé par le #FIFDH [1], #LaMaisonDAilleurs [2] et les #NumerikGames [3] :
Les GAFAM nous ont piégé dans un « techno-cocon » où le pouvoir émancipateur de l’imaginaire est diminué. Alors que la cybersurveillance nous traque partout et que les démocraties faiblissent face au libéralisme prédateur, réinventer nos modes de lutte relève de l’impérieuse nécessité.
Auteur d’une œuvre fascinante, le père du roman "Les Furtifs" 📚, paru en 2019, s’envisage en créateur de mondes "d’après", et en fin observateur des jeux de forces socio-politiques. Citoyenne, hantée par les questions du vivre ensemble, la SF existe sous sa plume pour aborder des enjeux planétaires immédiats, et qui nous concernent toutes et tous.
Discussion passionnée avec un écrivain archi-culte autour d’horizons plus désirables que ceux promis par le libéralisme, et méditation en sa compagnie autour de nouveaux modes de lutte inspirants.
La rencontre se déroule en français avec une traduction simultanée en anglais. Co-présenté avec la Maison d'Ailleurs
et le Festival Numerik Games
Intervenant : Alain Damasio, écrivain
Modération : Marc Atallah, directeur, La Maison d’Ailleurs, Festival Numerik Games
Retrouvez également Alain Damasio accompagné du guitariste Yan Péchin le 7 mars à 17h en direct depuis le Festival Numerik Games à Yverdon-les-Bains lors du concert en live stream de rock-fiction "Entrer dans la couleur".

Bonjour à tous.tes,
je viens de réserver un film sur le site du festival de #Gerardmer; si vous ne connaissez pas, c'est un #festival de #film de #genre, plutôt axé #horreur, #fantastique, #gore #science-fiction #sf. C'est normalement une référence pour ce genre de film en #France (du même type que le festival de #Sundance).
Donc je viens de réserver un film, et linuxien maudit que je suis, impossible de lire le film, que ce soit sous #firefox ou #chromium.
Du coup, quelqu'un aurait-il une #astuce, un #conseil, une #aide a m'apporter? ( #help )
Ci dessous, l'extrait de la page d'aide du site (on voit bien que #linux n'est pas supporté), ce qui est bizarre, c'est que j'arrive tout à fait à lire des contenus avec #DRM ( #Netflix par exemple?)...
Merci merci!
PS: je suis sous #ubuntu budgie 20.04 focal et firefox 84.0.2 et chromium sont à jour...
incompréhension...

Open Libraries: How Long Will They Last
I noticed this article at Torrent Freak. https://torrentfreak.com/brein-cracks-down-on-open-directory-piracy-but-what-is-it-201115/
Seems there's a coming crackdown on Open Libraries. These are libraries you discover by searching for "index of" epub. For example
https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=%22index%20of%22%20epub
It works with other types of files as well: e.g., "index of" mp4.
If these are going to start disappearing, we might want to save what we can first. Here's a library with a fair amount of SF and crime fiction.

Libraries on the Internet overlay networks are less easy to censor, as are torrents.

Anyone who knows me knows that I love a good SF anthology. Here’s something that I picked up recently from Amazon UK. The last of the seven-book series the Infinity Project, edited by Jonathan Strahan, it contains a bunch of far-out future tales of just the kind of way-out SF that I love.
There are quite a few of my favourite SF authors in there - Alastair Reynolds, Stephen Baxter, Linda Nagata, Peter Watts, Paul McAuley - but also a few writers that I know, but am a lot less familiar with, and a few others that I don’t know at all.
This should be an interesting read.

Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m also technically a #gplusrefugee although, to be honest, I haven’t really been active on G+ for quite a while now, particularly since Google started messing with the platform a while back.
I’ll also make this my #introduction or #presentation thread, so it’s going to be a long one.
My main computer interests are #webdesign #dtp #computerart #computeranimation and #computermusic.
I’m a huge fan of the #opensource #libre aspect of computing, in particular #linux and #bsd. Specific interests in this area are #blender #gimp #inkscape #scribus #archlinux #debian #gentoolinux #manjarolinux #linuxmint #opensuse #sabayon #sabayonlinux #ubuntu #ubuntustudio #freebsd #netbsd and #openbsd.
I’m interested in #music of all kinds, in particular #dancemusic #housemusic #technomusic #trancemusic #soulmusic #discomusic #funkmusic #new-wave #post-punk #punk-rock #punkrock #rockandrollmusic and #rockmusic.
On the geek front, I love #animation #anime #atompunk #rocketpunk and #steampunk, #comics #comics-books and #graphicnovels, #sci-fi of all kinds on television and in film in particular #doctor-who #doctorwho and #star-trek #startrek. I also love reading #sciencefiction #sf #sff #sf&f literature of all kinds, as well as #fanzines based around either sf literature or television and movie sci-fi.
I’m also a big fan of #science, particularly #astronomy #astrophysics #cosmology #spacecraft #spaceflight #spaceexploration #spaceships #terraforming #palaeontology #palaeobotany #geology and #archeology.
Okay, enough of that. Why am I here?
As I’ve said, I haven’t been active on G+ for a while now. Likewise with Twitter. My current main social networking activity is still on Facebook, although I’m also trying to scale that back quite a bit, until it is eventually at a minimal level. I don’t really like Facebook (either as a social network or as a corporation), despite the fact that I use it almost every day. I merely tolerate it, as that is where “everybody” is hanging out. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to totally drop Facebook, as all my family, friends and most of my general contacts are on there (and are highly unlikely to move here or anywhere else), so I’m still kinda chained to that platform, although I’d like to be on there a lot less, and do my serious social networking on a superior open social platform.
In the wake of the recent disgraceful Facebook privacy/data scandal and the announced planned closure of Gplus, I’ve decided to go on the hunt for another social networking platform to make my permanent home, preferably something not owned by a corrupt mega-corporation. So far I haven’t tried very many in depth, three or four at most, and only given a cursory look at a number of others and dismissed them right away. To be honest, most of what’s out there doesn’t really grab me at all. I’ve set up an account on #MeWe, which I quite like (it resembles G+ quite a lot, but with less activity, for now at least), but there isn’t a lot of life on my feed over there yet. I also set up an account on #Minds a year or so ago, but I’ve never really used it.
There are other, similar networks out there, but all of them are pretty much variations on the same centralised theme, the new pretenders to the throne wanting to be the next big social networking thing and all of them claiming that our data and privacy will be totally safe in their hands, unlike with evil ol’ Facebook and Google. But they all say that, don’t they, at least until they get really big themselves, and turn into huge, greedy, profit-guzzling monsters? Remember how open Google was when it started out, built on open software, and all for the libre side of things? And look at them now, totally gone over to the Dark Side.
Many of these companies turn bad when they hit it big, even if they’re nice guys at the outset, starting off small and with the best of intentions. But once they get really big, it’s in the nature of big, powerful corporations to push the legal and ethical limits and throw their enormous weight around, all in the pursuit of profit. People mean nothing to them. We’re all nothing but numbers on a balance sheet from their perspective.
For a change, I’d really like to try something that is GENUINELY open and free, federated and decentralised, rather than owned by one company, without the claws of any huge corporations embedded deep in it, and not subject to the profit-driven whims of those corporations, abusing our data and privacy, changing stuff on us willy-nilly, getting rid of features and (in the case of Google) entire platforms, if they aren’t making them enough money, and dumping untold thousands of users and their online social networking communities on the scrapheap. I’ve really had enough of that crap. These companies do not DESERVE our support, and should be avoided like the plague.
So here I am, taking my first steps on Pluspora/Diaspora, with a truly free, open, decentralised network. I’ll try to stick with this one, as it’s a lot closer to my own philosophical leanings, although so far I’m finding it quite a culture shock, being more accustomed to the more rigidly structured platforms on Facebook and G+, with their Pages, Groups, Communities, etc. I guess I’ll eventually get used to the way there is none of that stuff on here and how absolutely everything is controlled by hashtags.
I’m genuinely attracted to the platform, as the #opensource #libre ethos is much closer to my own personal beliefs and sympathies. I can conceivably see myself using Pluspora/Diaspora at some point for all of my serious geek social networking, with Facebook relegated to keeping me in contact with family and friends. Only time will tell. :)
Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #dozenal, #kerbal, #kerbalspaceprogram, #ksp, #nasa, #science-and-technology, #science-fiction, #scifi, #sf, and #space.
Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #photography #WPP #boardgames, #inktober2018, #kayaking, #mermaiding, #sf, #sfconventions, and #swancon. I'm also feeling my way from Google+.
I'm having difficulty changing my Avatar, so if I could get some pointers on that, it would be awesome.
