I grew up in a world with no search engines and no targeted advertising, you are just going to have to trust me it was fucking *fine*.

@evan you forgot "it's up to them"

@MastodonEngineering

In the job description this is good: "Some knowledge or projects in digital accessibility and disability inclusion."

How about something similar specifically with regard to moderation tools and dealing with online hate?

The only correct answer to "Is America ready for black woman president?"

is

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

@WarnerCrocker It's an incredible story using "incredible" the right way, my God.

I think it a big deal that the WaPo sat on the story.

@boulder @evan

Imagine having so little agency that you are criticized for "rejecting offers".

@CloudyMrs I had to get new pedal stems

It's 1979, I have heard of #unix but my university has no machine to run it. Prof says "Moravian College (across town) has a PDP-11 that runs unix, go check it out."

There was no email, students did not have telephones, I just walked into their computer center. They were so thrilled someone was interested they encouraged me to stay and learn.

Oh my God what have we done?

You are starting to get America when you realize that specifically where you pitch your protest tent determines how free your speech is.

@docpop We do the same thing with DEI in orgs - "diverse orgs are more productive!"

Give it a rest. Diverse orgs are more human, that's enough.

@GottaLaff

I wonder if at Reuters when they type "polarizing" "persona" they hate themselves a little.

@WarnerCrocker OMG the scene where she finds him with his horse in the woods blubbering over his dead lover "you have a job to do!"

@WarnerCrocker

I think Da'Vine Joy Randolph has a good chance for supporting actress even though I am huge Emily Blunt fan.

@aral Yeah it's nice when the Overton Window moves in your direction.

@anildash @polotek

"different economic model" different or much worse?

@thomasfuchs Another one is how good the sound is from the built-in 0.10 inch speakers.

@MediaActivist

I am a year in to my migration both personally and professionally, I will not waver but it's a lot of work.

@futurebird

I think many people here associate "branding" with growth.

I get that tech culture taught us that we need to grow to survive, but that's not actually true.

We just need to survive to survive.

@feld

I get that there are important principles at play here, I just can't get past what a poor quality beer it is.

@timnitGebru shoutout please to the graphic artist at Technology Review who did the black bear cub in a spacesuit.
