Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Welp, apparently Hypercore is a company now. Sigh.

Massachusetts HS can’t turn off lights <https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/01/us-school-runs-lights-24-7-365-the-smart-lights-have-been-broken-since-2021/>. Basically, they installed a ‘smart’ lighting system relying on proprietary software that the vendor no longer supports. The system failed and the lights are stuck permanently on.
And this, friends, is the problem with unfree software.

Everyone should read about the #prison trusty system. Not "trustee" (plural: trustees), but trusty (plural: trusties). I think it's key to understanding #patriarchy. 1/15

Elke keer als ik een analyse lees van deze of gene politicus of erger nog: minister die simpelweg niet beter weet en schijnbaar informatie niet heeft die ik elke dag zie langskomen, weet ik: die wil dat niet weten of doet alsof omdat het niet uitkomt. Het is hun werk om het wel te weten.

Is het jullie trouwens ook al eens opgevallen dat mensen die niets anders doen dan een beter leven voor zichzelf bouwen automatisch kwade intenties worden toegeschreven terwijl mensen die armoede en dood op hun geweten hebben tot ver voorbij elke redelijke twijfel worden neergezet als mensen met de beste intenties?

transphobia
Got to love the NYTimes running another transphobic article on the front page! Well now's as good a time as ever to get my school to cancel their institutional NYTimes subscription. Going to make a fucking big deal out of this, absolutely pisses me the fuck off.
It uses all of your favourite "look at us being your Friends and being Cool" marketing of course
Oh boy, apparently there's a new proprietary web browser, promising to build a 'new internet'. Yay. We definitely needed more of those.

@joepie91 Or, as our "regional" honey factory puts it: "Honey from EU- and non-EU countries" (which basically only excludes Antarctica, and the Space).
Also, Dutch folks can probably guess exactly which brand this is
This tea packaging: "The rich tea is blended from various teas gathered from some of the world's finest tea growing countries."
That's it. No further detail. This is an impressive spin on "we literally put into the bag whatever we could get for cheap lmao"

I found a shipwreck I had not seen before. This was on Sully Island. The wreck was well below high tide.
