Asking for a friend, boosts appreciated: is there any wiki software that is free, user-friendly and doesn't require self-hosting or is very easy, (for people with very limited technical expertise) to host?

I'm excited to share this article (open access!) comparing privacy attitudes in the US and Netherlands using factorial vignettes. This was one of my favorite projects (and teams) to work on over the last decade, and this paper represents the last study in the 3+ year project. https://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/article/view/19391

Regarding fatphobia and ableism:

No matter how progressive or broadminded people think they are, as long as they attach arbitrary conditions to the value of a human being, they are effectively gatekeeping humanity itself.

They are, therefore, holding on to the seeds of fascism, unwilling to let go.

Bank of America set on fire in Portland

"Last night I broke into a Bank of America in Portland, Oregon and started a large fire. According to news reports, the fire grew quickly and took firefighters more than an hour to extinguish.

I attack for revenge against capital for the hell it creates, to break the illusion of police control that usually protects it, and just because I can.

Bank of America funds the Atlanta Police Foundation and a thousand other projects of control. Earlier that day, the six friends in Atlanta charged with “domestic terrorism” were released from jail. May this fire bring them some warmth in winter.

Long live anarchy!"

freelancers this is your reminder to download the past year of bank transactions for your taxes

poor people this is your reminder to get started on your taxes if you need it for income verification stuff that is due before the usual tax deadline 🐘

In other news, Australia's Lord Mayor of Melbourne is frustrated that QR codes placed around the city to report graffiti have been vandalized by overlaid alternate QR codes leading to a hip hop culture documentary on YouTube. Oops!

I really hate this ageist ass notion that young people always want change and hate the system, but it's only because they're "naïve" and they will "grow up" when they will age. whoever said that needs to be decked because they is not only ageist, they is also upholding the status quo

I needed to read this today. My New Years revolution is to live life vibrantly, like a benevolent alien.

I think it might help. 🧡

“Nice is not the same as kind.
Nice is not the same as ethical.
Nice is not the same as moral.

The older I get, the less interested I am in “nice.”

Nice is the gift wrap; it says nothing about what’s inside.”

kids' t-shirts are so weird. girls t shirts be like "🦋✨gorgeous✨🦋 rainbows 💖💫💃🌈pretty💅💛" and the boys t shirts be like "KILL YOUR SISTER💀🔫👿 SHIT YOUR PANTS 💥🔪👊CARS 🚘🚔"

This is also related to the myth that "racism will die out" or "homophobia will die out" as older people die.

No, bigotry and fascistic attitudes *don't* just die out, they must be actively fought and defeated on an ongoing basis.

Because sometimes we make the mistake of thinking "Oh, the youth must not be bigoted like their forebears" but guess what.

If that were true we wouldn't have had the tiki torches or the terf explosion.

Allies and enemies in every generation.

love going back to do a task i can't remember why i stopped doing and being reminded "oh yeah i went over to do this other thing" and repeating this loop twenty-six times before finally coming back to the original task

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are Pump-and-Dump schemes, while others are Pyramid schemes. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Others are just standard-issue fraud.

Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

De glijdende schaal van de afgelopen 20 jr van racisme verkopen als “zaken benoemen” en “politieke correctheid afschaffen” heeft ertoe geleid dat regelrechte nazi-retoriek nu niet meer herkend wordt en mensen zich oprecht afvragen wat er racistisch is aan nazi-leuzen.

fuck up Nazis, yes. make their bullshit unacceptable. make them afraid to show their damn faces or speak their hate.

BUT THIS MUST BE PAIRED WITH

positive action toward the oppressed groups Nazis target. they MUST be supported, protected, welcomed

be suspicious as fuck of anyone who is super excited about punching Nazis but "meh" on actually helping the people Nazis target

cos those folx aren't rejecting the marginalization, just the crass approach to it
