https://jmb.mx/blog/2026/03/02/looking-for-james-mast/
I’m making this post because I don’t what else to do.
I’m looking for James Mast, a son of Moses Mast (my dear friend and mentor who recently passed away). If you are James or you know how to get in touch with him, please contact me (jmb.mx/contact) , as I want to make sure James can attend the memorial service (even if it has to be remote) but also for some other important issues.
FYI, James was last known to be in Cornwall, Ontario (see https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sixties-scoop-immigration-1.7541323 ) , but I haven’t had any luck tracking him down.

To the readers: maybe this post is sincere and maybe it isn't. I'm boosting in case it is sincere. But, it does have that "urgent" feel to it, that corporate spam trainers warn against. So if you are James Mast ... respond to this person but verify via other avenues that it is real.
Sorry to jmb, this has to be said these days.

@bjb not a problem. I appreciate your concern.
I will recommend that folks with concern read this obituary from a few years ago of Sadie (Moses' wife) in which I was quoted.

@jmb @bjb before boosting I read the linked CBC article. I noticed that James Cardinal Mast had an issue with the US border (which of course he has a sovereign right to cross) while travelling “to care for his adoptive father.” I noticed that James called his adoptive parents “his only real family.” There’s a world of pain and colonial violence behind those words, and there is also love that made me certain James would want to know of Moses’ death. I hope he sees this somehow.

@jmb You might be able to make contact with him via the CBC reporter.

The first ten minutes I spent on social media this morning made me feel all kinds of things. Why is it that people who routinely use LLMs are so loud and brash and proud, making these tools appear as essential and inevitable?
A post by a dev whose app I use said something along the lines of: "no use exercising your coding skills, AI is too good now, you can't compete with it anyway".
Another post by a user on an instance I try to engage with wrote - literally: "tired of overthinking every decision?" and then disclosed he had created an AI that will "run a weighted decision matrix so you don't have to." In all seriousness.
What is this dystopian world where human qualities are devalued, critical thinking is discarded and surveillance capitalism is ignored at the altar of AI worship?
If they are loud and proud, maybe so I can be too... but in the opposite direction.
This weekend I will start the MIT's Missing Semester class (the 2020 Lectures, so pre-AI) because in this brave new world hyping up techno-fascist LLMs, knowing the basics of code are essential IMHO.
So my March "project" will be a deep dive in MIT's Missing Semester and my April project will be off-grid mesh radio communication.
What about you, what are you doing to resist?
Special props to @emilymbender @cwebber and @tante for being outspoken on these issues... you're my beacons of hope

@gian_d_gian tutto è bene ciò che finisce bene ma quando hai fatto i test al buio con l'ausilio dell'accendino, quante volte ti sei scottato?
Il pubblico ha il diritto di sapere.

@webdevtrust I don't think he's much of a gamer. 🥲

ma che cazzo sto vedendo?

@Gina Nice to hear. Ensure he keeps up with that. I currently regret that I didn't encourage my parents in all of the above mentioned activities, when they retired.

We will have a combined #XMPP and #UnifiedPush stand at #CLT2026 on March 28th and 29th. Come talk to us if you are curious about either! We will have merch for both, test devices, lots of advice, and I've even heard rumors about free Haribo.

@Gina could you get him into gaming? Buy him a Switch + Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
