So Southwest Airlines cancelled the flight of passengers that were waiting at the gate, and then called the police on them to threaten them with arrest for "trespassing." Southwest claimed that the passengers were trespassing because they had gone through the security checkpoint, but didn't have a valid ticket. They didn't have a valid ticket, because Southwest had just cancelled it🤡

In the USA, calling the police on someone, especially a Black person, is a violent act.

Tweeting in the fediverse is so much nicer than tweeting on Twitter.

For example, I can share links to tweets and not have to lop off the `s=21&t=QanonBS-6pHNzRJrIUkixw` at the end of the URLs.

The "Clear" system -- in which airports and the feds make life worse for everyone but those who spend to enrich a monopoly company -- describes so much of America these days.

It's disgusting, but somehow normal. slate.com/business/2022/12/cle

And if you want to join me in paying Climeworks to verifiably remove CO₂ from the air, use my referral link:

climeworks.com/invitation/4Bk1

€30/month pays for only a fraction of my CO₂ emissions, but it is something. I am doing my part to create demand in the market for carbon removal.

We need to get the cost of removing CO₂ from the air to be less than the cost of producing it in the first place. This can come from scale. Many individuals can create the scale necessary for this.

Climeworks, the industrial CO₂ removal innovator, replaced Google Analytics with Matomo.

The result:
• Eliminated need for annoying cookie consent
• Reduced the carbon footprint of its website 22%

Its privacy policy boldly states, “We accept this less accurate data to protect your privacy.”

“Our vision is to inspire one billion people to remove CO₂ from the air, and we don’t believe we need cookies to do that.”

is working.

“But the most amazing thing Daunt did at Waterstones was this: He refused to take any promotional money from publishers.”

Ted Gioia there writing about the the turn around at bookstore B&N, and previously Waterstones in Britain.

Now tell me social media needs ad-tech and algorithms and VC funding. What social needs is people who love grassroots social and people, and the social that serves those people.

Thanks to @carnage4life and @rysiek for boosting this article.

Svenskar: Freja does everything BankID does, but also functions as a fully valid id-kort. Get rid of your wallet, finally.

One of the best things you can do to help immigrants to Sverige is to get Freja yourself and use it instead of BankID, so that it’s not just us immigrants using it.

As a bonus, if you are user 800k, you win SEK 5000.

Why has the WTO patent waiver for COVID-19 vaccines not helped China produce/acquire the more effective vaccines produced in the EU and US?

With China reporting a quarter billion of its people have gotten COVID-19 in the last 3 weeks, I fear another super variant will be on its way. It is all humanity’s self-interest to get effective vaccines globally distributed.

As new federated systems go mainstream, we need to ensure we're supporting the humans and organizations behind them. I'm not just talking about Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, and BookWyrm :blobcatoutage:

This update from The #Matrix Foundation is concerning:
matrix.org/blog/2022/12/25/the

We are on notice. The success of the tech we rely on isn't guaranteed just by merit of our use. We need to invest in these projects and communities.

When you're talking about Linux, it's okay to say that it's "open source".

It's okay to say that it's "free software".

It's okay to call it "GNU/Linux", "Linux", or to mess up its name.

It's okay to refer to it as "the one with the friendly penguin".

Part of RMS' legacy has been an incessant obsession with terminology and pedantry, overshadowing far more important shared objectives which are fundamentally emancipatory in nature.

Pedantry is not activism; it is alienating, not emancipatory.

I'm delighted to report that MIT and the W3C have reached an agreement and that the W3C will kick off 2023 with funds and assets.

Many thanks for all your support and to all those who worked towards reaching an agreement. Enjoy the holidays!

I like how many instances are bothered by the prospect of the defederation.

They often make the erroneous claim that it will create an isolated experience for instances that do this, which is ridiculous because this assumes more instances will not be created.

What they are really worried about is their instances being isolated, and they are protecting that fear to the rest of the fedi.

They are terrified of the prospect of there being consequences for bad behavior. Choosing to give bigotry and hate space will be relegated to its corner of the fedi where all they have is access to each other.

And this is what bigots fear the most—lack of access to us.

@davetron5000 I have noticed a pattern more and more often the past several years: programmers routinely overestimate how complicated someone else's code seems and underestimate how complicated their code seems. From this, I have concluded that many programmers say "complicated" when they truly mean "unfamiliar".

A well-designed and unfamiliar code base looks complicated because it is unfamiliar.
