🤓 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 link included in Ashley's e-mail lead to surveyplanet·com.
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.
Is it too much of a stretch to believe capitalism will lead companies to create new illnesses, they can then cure for profit?
COVID-19 is considered likely man-made due to it's gain of function properties, but unlikely to be intentionally released. However, it's effects will likely be studied for potential future profit possibilities.
"Is curing patients a sustainable business model?...While the proposition offers tremendous value for patients and society, it would represent a challenge for genome medicine developers looking for sustained cash flows." - New York:Equity Research, Goldman Sachs, 2018.

Even just sharing the link will help to amplify our mission to protect privacy for people in times of surveillance and prosecution for people.
LONG LIVE BIGBLUEBUTTON.

Two right-wing hipsters spent six years making a documentary series for #HBO on 'anarcho'-capitalists living in a resort town in #Mexico. The first episode is centered around a right-wing crypto-bro anti-Semite who pushes conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and features clips from none other than Milo Yiannopoulos and Keith Preston, known for speaking alongside Richard Spencer at white nationalist conferences. Fuck this AnCap trash.

Kind reminder: there is no cloud, just other people's computers. Get your magnet and T-shirt.
"the WHO used to be funded principally by [nation] states...(in 2020, about 70 percent of the WHO's budget came from private donations). Thus, the [private donors] can bypass the mediation of states and directly shape the WHO's policies." from Global Civil War: Capitalism Post-Pandemic by William I Robinson

Read the interview with Guido Günther, a developer at Purism, on how the free and convergent #PureOS system and the #Phosh graphical environment merge the phone and desktop experience into one, and how they benefit mobile device users.
Thanks to the kind work of our volunteer translators, you can also read it in Dutch, Italian, and Spanish.
