The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit.

They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever.

To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

An historic UN Climate Resolution passes making nation states legally responsible to protect people from harms caused by climate pollution.

The usual suspects opposed of course, just 8 of them, with 141 in favour. 28 abstained.

While not legally binding (and decades late) the resolution can become an important tool in litigation as at least now it is named, written up in international law at the highest level.

Engineers: stop idolizing companies.

Engineering is the age old tradition of "talking to our coworkers" "understanding what we're making" and "actually fucking checking".

The big names are not that fucking special. There's no magic, there's only better and worse at those three things.

It follows some well trod paths of various time loop stories, but this is a pretty wild concept for a music video and well executed. I appreciate the minimalism of the set, camera work, and pantomime. It must've taken a lot of work to plot out and execute all the variations. (I wonder how much might've been improv?)

Although softened somewhat by the cartoonish style and lack of sound, content warning for repeated gun violence.

Also, I enjoyed the music, but the video overshadowed it for me. 😆

Why does it matter whether people know how to use files and tabs or re-install their operating system? Isn't it better to let people get on with their day? Well, it's like with everything in life, ignorance costs a premium. If you are ignorant of something, you can be taken advantage of. Apple sells you expensive devices capable of running any program in the world, but keeping an iron grip on what you can run on it. Google is following suit. Many such cases.

When I was growing up, we had operating systems that exposed a lot of the technical details about their inner workings, and websites that let us use code to customize them, like MySpace and Geocities. UX designers in tech have since optimized away most of the stuff that allowed and encouraged people to learn to use technology and now people get confused by files and browser tabs. And as the knowledge shrinks, more and more things have to be simplified away. I only ever see it as a one way road.

It's the internet, people. It's OUR internet. Just because we decided to trust Google to not be evil doesn't mean that Google decides the future of the internet. We may very well have lost The Web, but we still can make the Internet of People. Decentralised. Unownable ;) Being here on the #Fediverse is part of that.
