USA, sliding into fascism while the tech moguls are sitting as oligarchs at the president's table, is a great example why we need personal data sovereignty

"even Mary had a choice" is a line used by Catholic abortion providers that does a LOT of good

i think in general a very useful (but rare) thought process to adopt as technical person is the idea that every person who made a technical decision that affects you was fairly competent and also acting in good faith (because they often are).

Maybe it was ineffective, I don't know, but I preferred the days we rolled our eyes at stupid people instead of waking up afraid of them. I'm going back to eye rolling. We have too much work to do.

Imagine what the world would look like if every rich and famous person was working for world peace

Solo work is often silo work

Just watched realtime as a romance scammer account got suspended. I didn't need to report them even. Just "I was hoping you'd be single" from them one second and account info "This account has been suspended" right after. This restores my hope in @bsky.app a little bit!

Some random stranger on Reddit had a brain tumor removed and there was a chance they would not survive the surgery. Posted about it a couple of days ago when they were freaking out. Their sister posted that the surgery was successful for all us strangers keeping watch. That’s the world I prefer.
