Work opportunity: anyone interested in part-time work developing e-commerce and direct marketing for an organic farm that sells a lot of seed? Open Food Network could be the platform...

I will say it again and again and again and...

When people talk about travelling to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small, but barely anyone in the present really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small.

@lightweight @fc it's a new usage paradigm, which means it's not the new generation's ignorance; it's ours. This was the approximate conclusion in the linked source article.

At some point, the search for the "blue shirt" in the laundry pile will yield an unwieldy number of results, and some other paradigm will take over. Maybe folders, maybe not.

School administrators, parents, and students may be happy to learn that an “edtech” company has signed the “Student Privacy Pledge.” But there is a disconnect between what one might expect when reading the Pledge & what companies must do to comply with it.

@GuerillaOntologist the immediately following paragraphs are much more revealing as they talk about how everyone having a voice can bog down the decision making process. i.e., you need leaders with more power. Didn't read further to see if he takes it to the next level of "unwashed masses". ;-)

To the top 1%, $5 billion (USD) represents 0.0044% of the worlds wealth that they possess. Somehow I don't think that's necessarily praise worthy given that they are mostly responsible for the issue.

@liaizon @ephemeral @Anke libraries and parks are "public spaces", but they are somewhat distinct from other government owned "public spaces". e.g., government office buildings. They also are distinct from "community spaces", which aren't government owned. Hmm...

@ephemeral @Anke the idea that everyone just assumes going into the library is free and the assumption that you just go there without needing any “reason” is essential to the concept. If you walked into a library and they were like why are you here it would be a different experience. Remembering that this concept was created over time by humans and we are able to recreate this type of space with a new dynamic seems really powerful. It seems like we are missing much vocabulary in this space tho

If you have a Vodafone Ultra Hub router (like I do), I note that "Status->About" menu item (Advanced Mode) takes you to a page that says "Notice regarding Open Source software" which says "The product contains Open Source software. The resulting need [sic] licenses information's [sic] are listed in the following link." The link points to www3.technicolor.com/en/hi/min ... which redirects to technicolor.com which has nothing to do with open source licenses that I can see.

This has been bugging me for ages: how can we fix social and climate brokenness when lots of 'good' people's job hang in the balance? How can we broach the subject "Your role in that corporation is actively bad for the world. The better you do, the worse you make the world." It's not something anyone wants to hear... but highly paid folk voluntarily absorb incredible cognitive dissonance to justify how they pay their mortgage. Stuff like "if I didn't do it, someone else less ethical would"...

@lightweight I like this Jim Hightower quote, "Most of our (USA) super rich were born on third base and think they hit a triple."
United for a Fair Economy has used this baseball analogy to state that 95 percent of Americans were born in the batter's box. ips-dc.org/the_self_made_hallu

@lightweight "most wealthy people now have to hustle if they want to retain their privilege and avoid sinking into the lower classes."

I have to call bullshit on that statement, otherwise it makes long term savings strategies, like retirement planning, a joke.

EFF and @ACLU_NorCal recently discovered the San Francisco police unilaterally deployed a surveillance camera network against protesters marching in defense of Black lives. Now we're asking a court to hold them accountable for breaking the law.

@kyle can you 3D print one? (He says, totally ignorant of 3D printing and the stress factors involved.)
