Yes, making the richest people in the world even richer at the cost of human knowledge, skill, and labor is the dream of all working class people everywhere. We were put on this earth to give our bodies, minds, and soul to the technologists to devour and sell it back to us. That’s liberation.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Maybe child raping billionaires *don't* have to run the world

The mobilization itself was already not something I ever expected to see, but to actually win? Hell, to double the winning margin from the 2022 runoff? Genuinely surreal. Maybe child raping billionaires *don't* have to run the world with a shit-eating grin. Maybe that can stop.

Let me tell you a story about the politics of Australia: Over the last 28 years generally, but over the last decade particularly, I've done a lot of politics outside of Australia. Last week, an organisation I work with called me in for a meeting mostly among people like me around the world /n

Our entire economy and way of life relying on a kind of magic machine that most of us don't understand, and a few aging coders are all thats keeping it working.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

"If we look at ME..we've known about it quite clearly for over 100 years.

Telling a woman to shut up when she’s asking about the attack ad you’ve backed calling a pedophilia victim a loser is like a turducken pf misogyny

The Pentagon has quietly created a secretive agency, the Technology Support Office, to develop cyberattacks, supply-chain sabotage and deception tactics aimed at slowing adversaries’ military technology programs, Politico reports. No doubt to be used against Europe and Canada

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Most of my Google opinions are rooted in pre-AI times but I agree with every word of this thread, and everything implied throughout. (I was working on WebKit when Google pivoted to openly malevolent force by forking the codebase to leverage Chrome for maximum control over the formerly open web.)

I published my first story in 1988, when I was 17 years old. Today, at 55, I've published more than 30 books, with three more coming in the next year or so. In the intervening years, I've spent a lot of time thinking and talking about publishing.

Much debate about where to from here after the shocking attack on Helen Haines. The answer is..Helen Haines. She has demonstrated through her non combative community approach to politics and that there is a better way to do politics. She is the leader … She is the example…do as Helen would do.
