Reading the news from twenty or thirty years ago, reveals a shocking consistency of exploitation, and a trail of broken promises to fix it.
Whether it be soda companies promising plant-based bottles, oil companies hinting at algae generated energy, or chocolate companies vowing to eliminate slavery in its supply line, meaningful change is perpetually just one generation away.
Temporary exploitation narratives make us feel good ... https://micro.fromjason.xyz/2024/05/18/reading-the-news.html

Do we all agree that bringing up the Official Definition of "open source" is no different than saying "actually it's GNU/Linux"? Nobody should care what some self-appointed group thinks about the "correct" meaning of English words "open source". People use it in slightly different context dependent ways, and it's fine. We have other means to express nuances.

There’s a new playbook being written right now when it comes to the future of social media. The early-mover advantage is still in effect, and there’s a lot to figure out. Gone are opaque algorithms and the whims of any single company.
The fediverse represents a chance for quality journalism to shine again.
We talked to two leaders at fedi-forward publications — @TheConversationUS's @BostonAbrams, and @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler — about why they’re investing in the open social web, what they’ve learned so far, and their advice for other publishers just getting started.

Hey Graphics Folks, ever wonder who the “Phong” was that invented Phong shading?
Turns out his last name wasn’t Phong, that online picture of him isn't even him, and his death is connected to the U.S. military’s use of chemical weapons during the Vietnam War.
