Important read! Cops, Surveillance state, your safety and privacy!!
@g hey, would you mind please using a cw in a more considerate way? CWs let people decide for themselves if reading your post is worth their health.
Clickbait-y CWs actively make it harder for people to self manage those risks. It's infantalizing and skeevey.
Please consider a cw like "LAPD, social media surveillance of innocent civilians" instead.

I appreciate that the admin of hackers.town, scholar.social, and mastodon.art are out there doing the right thing with maintaining the communities on their instances.
I'm not on any of those so I've only an outsider's perspective, but what I see from the outside is uplifting.

wordpress was a mistake. I'm adding a hmong translations landing page and the SEO optimization plugin is like "try making your sentences shorter, but other than that, this is very readable!"
@aurynn good morning, Aurynn! 🌈

Celebrate the magic of making it through half the week by hanging out with your friendly (virtual) neighborhood clowns in the #CircusInPlace video chat!
The shenanigans start at 8pm UTC-5, and tend to run very late.

A coda to the Guardian's shameful bigotry - the UK editors didn't /just/ cut that segment of the interview, but also spiked an entire series of trans articles - again from the US staff - "Gender Now":

@jk I have a similar experience with a first and second monitor, particularly on linux-y platforms.
@aurynn good morning, Aurynn!
@thegibson@hackers.town it is also rad as hell.
@thegibson@hackers.town I am both disappointed that it is not a place I can be yet and excited that it might inspire more places I can be.
Ty for the context! 💙
@thegibson@hackers.town this is awesome. I would like to order one large one, iced.
I would 100% like to be a regular whatever this thing is.

Say it with me: communities over technologies. (a soapbox)
If you're using a social technology, you're using it because of the contributions and humanity of your fellow humans. At their cores, every social platform derives its value from its users.
A technologically perfect platform is of no use without users you actually like.
Likewise, people on a technologically bad platform will only go elsewhere if the community at large is there.
Are technologically exciting platforms good and interesting? Yes.
But you should evaluate a social platform the way you would evaluate a friend, and not the way you would evaluate an operating system. Because you don't want a social platform that thinks for you, you want a social platform that helps you belong, shows you cool stuff, and helps you talk to humans you like.

Oh holy shit, these authors just drew a line between the moment-by-moment awareness/impermanence of mindfulness and its appeal to corporations who want us to internalize it so we don’t question their restructuring of workplaces with ever-increasing worker precarity. 😳
