The Toronto 2600 meetup is tonight, and we’re hosting. 6 PM, Victory Cafe, 440 Bloor St. W.
(Usually they occur on the first Friday of the month, but they have agreed to list us as happening on the second Monday of the month.)
The upcoming Monday is the first Monday of the month (first Monday of the year!), which means, STICKERS CLUB! https://luma.com/ozlbvyhw
Is brain rot real? Why don’t you read a paper about it and join us this upcoming Monday at Victory Cafe, 440 Booor St. W. here in Toronto for the monthly @papersclub@fedihum.org edition, where we will discuss it? The Luma listing has a link to the paper: https://luma.com/qgvt730u
There’s still time to read the paper for tomorrow’s Papers Club. We’ll be discussing Lucy Osler’s pre-print on AI psychosis. The link to the paper is in the Luma invite. https://luma.com/pk2dsuwx
We’ve chosen the paper for @papersclub@fedihum.org next week (February 23rd): “Hallucinating with AI: AI Psychosis as Distributed Delusions” by Lucy Osler.
(Is it this Lucy Osler: @lucyosler@zirk.us? We think so!)
We’ll have copies to give out tonight (6 PM, Victory Cafe, 440 Bloor St. W. Here in Toronto) and there’s a PDF link at https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.19588
Hardware Freedom Day is coming up, though it lands on a Saturday. We meet on Mondays, so we’ll celebrate on April 20th! (Is there anything else special about that day?) Our event, which takes place at our usual venue, Victory Cafe (440 Bloor St. W. here in Toronto), is listed on @dff@fosstodon.org’s website: https://digitalfreedoms.org/en/hardware-freedom-day/events/tech-pizza-monday-hardware-freedom-day-edition

For @papersclub@fedihum.org this coming Monday, we will discuss Barbara L. Fredrickson’s paper “The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions.” A PDF is available at the following link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1693418/
By all accounts, our LibreLocal meetup last night was a big success. Quite a few new connections were made. We’re grateful to the @fsf@hostux.social for their promotion and sponsorship of some of the pizzas. #LibreLocal
