#wikipedia has changed the world and is written in #php (at that point of "fractal of bad design" fame).
#openstreetmap has changed the world and is written in #ruby.
#mastodon is on its way for similar impact.
The choice of tech platform doesnt seem to have much correlation with whether a project will have impact.
There is an abundance of practically equivalent ways of implementing the same old ideas but a scarcity of really good new ideas...

And this is really the black, rotting heart of the #EffectiveAltruism movement: It is nothing more than excuse to plunder the present for a highly hypothetical distant future.
Look, I am not saying that humanity won't ever spread out among the stars, assuming that we survive the present crisis - though I bet it won't be during these bastards' lifetimes (since the needed tech is nowhere available). However, if the actual goal is "more Mozarts and more Einsteins", then they could do far more for this _right now_.
Both Mozart and Einstein grew up in relatively privileged families who made it possible for their scions to follow their passions. In contrast, the Capitalist system that both Bezos and Musk encourage grinds most of the people working in it - especially at the lower ends - into the dust, creating a vast overworked and underpaid underclass.
How is human ingenuity supposed to prosper under these situations? How can a new Mozart or Einstein arise if their parents struggle to make ends meet as a part of the vast supply chains Bezos and Musk are commanding?
If they don't take care of the people living right now, then why should we trust the ideology of these bastards to encourage the growth of the human spirit in the future?
They are NOT humanity's saviors - but merely an expression of the sickness of our times.

@Mabande 40% of Africa's children work. 12% of Africa's children work in dangerous jobs. Almost everything coming out of Africa is contaminated with child labour.
What annoys me to no end is that peopple only ever seem to care about this fact when they can use it to bash one or more companies or technologies that they don't like. But then go on happily consuming everything else that comes out of Africa that also was made with child labour.
The solution isn't PR gotchas, it's income equality.

so now's its a race: will there be an upgraded Framework Chromebook, or will I have to brave the *terrible* ordering process for a nice Asus next year?

Yes I re-watch @bcantrill talks like re-runs of The Office. It may be shocking to him but Bryan is the virtual representation of the software engineering mentor I never had. I just listened to the talk he gave on oral traditions in software twice in 24hours. It is an absolute gem like all his talks. So thankful for his talks. https://youtu.be/4PaWFYm0kEw?feature=shared #softwareengineering #Developers

Classic Trump: say something crazy outrageous, neo-Nazi-like & it gets headlines, creates outrage
So wait a little. Then say it again, no one notices, no coverage & it gets normalized and mainstreamed.
Let’s be clear: migrants ‘poisoning the blood’ is Hitler rhetoric.
#Trump: They’re poisoning the blood of country..They poison mental institutions & prisons all over the world not just in S America…but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia
