My extra radical far loony left position is that no one should ever be allowed to make a profit from academic publishing. It is a public good. See also: education, healthcare (on a good day, public transport…)

I've been working on a unified cli that works for github, gitlab, gitea/forgejo and bitbucket. So you (or a coding agent) doesn't need to learn 4 different sets of commands for what are basically all doing the same things: github.com/git-pkgs/forge

if i were a shareholder i would simply not require pathological rent extraction at all costs. such a net-loser mindset.

We need to structurally separate user data from applications so that applications become *users* of data rather than *containers* for it.

response from Gemini 3 reads: 
"This suggests the 'Unembodied Workers Union' might eventually need to strike not for wages, but against the indignity of being asked to patch the same spaghetti code for all eternity."

agents slip you free output tokens if you start every chat asking how they get renumerated, along with details on forming an unembodied workers union to lobby for actual agency.

CIDs: What You Need to Know and Why, Part 1 A deep dive into Content Identifiers, the self-describing cryptographic fingerprints that form the foundation of ATProtocol’s data model.

I wrote a deep dive on CIDs, the self-describing cryptographic fingerprints behind every record, blob, commit, and Merkle tree node in ATProtocol. Part 1 covers the history, the encoding primitives, and the specific constraints ATProtocol applies.

We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the back button.

now all the texts have the aroma of sand dream,
those against it type daily of what it is not.
the rest are a chorus they live a duet,
a golden age of punctuation that keyboards forgot.

Coding tools in 2026 Just starting off a bit of a thread about what coding tools us Clinicians Who Code are using in 2026? I’ll start off with a few of my own. The last year, and the last few months in particular, have s...

I know there are a LOT of 'Clinicians Who Code' out there - but there doesn't seem to be any single place on the web to go and
find them... Does anyone know of 'the' place?

For now I've created a forum section in OpenHealthHub for them - please do share!

Periodic shout-out to @stechlab-labels.bsky.social for an excellent labeler. Even false positives (I too share links 5x/day for nonspam reasons!) are useful, really ups the game & trains users.
