Too bad their gains were labeled as welfare rather than wage, and the next president, Reagan, started a war on women under the "pro-family"[sic] banner, where the GOP defined family as church-going, working man, subservient woman, and many kids.
Now reading. Our Time Is Now: Sex, Race, Class, and Caring for People and Planet. Selma James. 2021. PM Press.
Instantly struck by how it, like Global Civil War, rejects identity politics as a detraction from the main goal for equality, which in this case is Wages For Housework (WFH) movement.
1971: "Women of all ages from every region chanted together: 'Every mother is a working mother!'. Not even the Ku Klux Klan, which was openly present in the Mississippi delegation, could deny that!"

Water resources to become less predictable with climate change

Got a plentiful water supply? Maybe not in the future. Water fiefdoms in North America in our post-apocalyptic, changed climate, future.

This can only be welcomed.
The #OnlineSafetyBill is a mess, it threatens to implement pervasive monitoring and limit legal speech.
Time for a rethink.

This was predictable. Facebook/Meta is now encrypting the QP data so that Firefox and other privacy conscious browsers that strip the tracking data can't. Only way to avoid it is to not use Facebook at all. #DeleteFacebook #SurveillanceCapitalism www.ghacks.net/2022/07/17/face…
@JamesGleick Politicians require voters to get elected. Voters use their most important issue on a politician's (actually party's) plank to determine their vote. The most important issue is determined by immediate need and personal morality. Climate has never been an immediate need for most voters, so "When does everyone rise up"? When it's too late (much like with economic conditions).

We have not seen anything like it. We can't compare this looming heat emergency to summer 1976.
A warmer world, thanks to human induced climate change, makes it almost effortless to break extreme heat thresholds. We continue to see this across the planet - not just in Europe.

🤓 Today I was reminded that #DNS doesn't only have "IN" records. #network #networking

Reading on how identity detracts from solutions to fighting #capitalism ill effects on society. e.g., "defund the police" ignores the systemic aspects driving the police repression of the poorer classes, which are disproportionately minority.
I can't disagree. We need to attack the root.

So back in 2020 Codeberg asked for help from the community to help them with #accessibility issues. They need some help in house as the current solution helps them manage the spam that would overwhelm signups, but their moderation team is small. CAPTCHAs aren't very accessible and they would like some help to fix this. #a11y Can anyone help? The linked toot is their request for help.

What kind of computer do you think a parent who is concerned both about privacy and about e-waste should get for a child that is old enough to learn to type, but not necessarily mature enough to take care of nice things?

Google Is Sharing Our Data at an Alarming Rate.
It transmits our locations and browsing habits 70 billion times a day to advertisers 😲

Hi fellow Mastodon admins,
we received a somewhat dodgy e-mail from "Mastodon Survey Admin" <postmaster@oldnewstreet.com> with the subject: "Mastodon State of the Fediverse (July 2022) Survey" today. Our reply was bounced by mailgun.org because "Recipient rejected", so we are posting it here:
```
Hi Ashley,
we are not going to take part in your survey because …
– you do not mention who commissioned this survey
– you do not mention who you work for
– you do not clarify which group you refer to in "on our behalf"
– you use a survey service that includes Google trackers in violation
of the GDPR (applicable law of the European Union).
Greetings from Bielefeld, Germany!
the admins of digitalcourage.social

As Agile Scrum teaches devs and managers that an 8 hour day only results in 6 productive hours, how long before 996 becomes the software working norm in all countries?
Living in a heavily populated urban area is going to decrease a person's ability to remain autonomous, anonymous and healthy.
