I'm so tired of making unhoused friends and having them tell me they feel embarrassed about it.

Our system failed you. "The greatest country on earth" let this happen to you. That's the embarrassment.

You're a victim, not a failure.

@killyourfm and in exchange I’ve enjoyed countless hours of music, discovered hundreds of new artists I’d have otherwise never heard of, and had instant access to any song I want to listen to no matter where I am.

I get it, but ownership isn’t everything. Syncing music to an iPod and picking which songs you care most about that can fit on your device sucked. So did trying to find a CD while driving.

Streaming is good, actually.

Good time to remind y'all: if you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.

@farbel @jeffowski I present to you insulin, Wikipedia, the internet itself, and countless other examples.

Humans make tools. We are by no means the only species to do so, but we do it to a much greater extent than any other Animal.

It’s a Hallmark of our species.

To believe we would no longer do so if capitalism doesn’t exist is to both ignore current reality and fail to imagine anything else. Which is exactly what capitalism wants.

@farbel @jeffowski I don't really get your point. All of those things were made outside of capitalist interest.

By your logic, existing in one system would inherently prohibit the formation of any others.

Love HTML? I think you might enjoy Kelp, my new UI library powered by modern CSS and Web Components.

Do you remember how fucking good the Goo Goo Dolls were!?

I just launched Kelp UI (my UI library for people who love HTML, powered by modern CSS and Web Components)!

Currently in alpha. Rapidly building out the docs.

Let me know what you think!

@amszmidt @mav I'm not sure how that's possible. GPL infects the MIT licensed code, which allows things GPL does not.

WordPress has successfully argued that WP themes and plugins cannot be licensed as MIT because of WP's GPL license.

@mav Sort of. It's "infectious" in that any derivative work must take on the same license. If you, for example, use a GPL library to build a website, all other parts of that website are then also licensed under GPL.

This is why all WP themes must be GPL licensed. As a result, GPL and MIT code are incompatible together.

My wife didn't have time to prep her coffee before a Zoom meeting this morning, so I took 15 minutes to put on a whole ass tuxedo (with hand-tied bowtie) and deliver it to her butler style.

@ArneBab First time hearing about it, but I'm now thinking about how Service Workers potentially expose browsing history, and in our current climate, that could be bad.

@ArneBab Is this like Signal?

This is some seriously dystopian shit!
