My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
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.

Every consumer electronics product: Here, let me show you my featureless cube from every angle except the one that shows the ports!

Cities: Spending money on public transit? Hmm I don't know, why can't public transit be more like the private sector. They don't need handouts!
Private sector: That's right, now don't forget you need to spend a million million bucks on maintaining free roads for cars, free parking spaces for cars, free bridges for cars, the traffic lights, signs, and cops for speed limit enforcement

The grapevine is saying that Matt Mullenweg has just announced to his automattic employees that starting today, any resignation will be effective immediately to try to prevent leaks.
I'm sure this will prevent the leaks and no one will tell anyone what it's internally announced anymore.
Masterful gambit, pardner.

telegram
Can't help but notice that the reason for the Telegram CEO being arrested in France seems to have shifted from "failure to moderate the platform" (in the original reporting) to "failure to hand over user identities to cops" (Telegram updated their T&C to hand over data).
Those are two VERY different things.

I feel like people are generally not good at telling apart emotions and the actions that arise from those emotions
Emotions cannot be moral or immoral. You cannot be guilty for feeling a certain way. And you cannot be proud of it, either
How you choose to act on your emotions is a different thing altogether. You have control over that. An emotion may explain a certain type of action, but it cannot justify it

police
tldr do not talk to the cops, not as a witness, not for background, not for anything. They’re allowed to lie about that if they think you did it and especially if you haven’t done anything you might not realize they could think you did.

I hate the term ‘commuter rail’ cause it implies anyone using it for something other than getting to/from work is an afterthought at best

Daydream: a lawsuit against publishers to recover the money that we all would have gotten from the lawful resale of our video games, books, movies, etc except that now everything's digital and so publishers just collect rent now

"I agree that we should oppose fascism but there was a small amount of litter left after the protests so it's impossible to say who's in the right"

Δ-44203, 'Carbon the "atomic beeper"' 
query: is there a concrete example of HTTP signature validation that this one can test its code against?
details: this would specify the [signature, public key, string that is signed], and the steps to verify (for example, openssl commands).
context: its ActivityPub implementation considers all incoming activities to be incorrectly signed.

“Sometimes they say it’s illegal [for prisoners to unionize], but it’s not. It’s just frowned upon. But it works.”
New today from Michelle Pitcher: Texans are organizing inside and outside of prisons to empower incarcerated workers, who labor in dangerous conditions without pay. https://www.texasobserver.org/solidarity-prison-labor-union/

idle historical musings, cryptocurrency
If the US had had something like SEPA (and the associated infrastructure), I genuinely wonder if Bitcoin would have ever caught on in the first place
If you're not quite sure of the details of a situation *and you realize that*, then like, don't loudly comment on it either? This is not difficult?
