yr favorite mascot said trans rights.

A tweet from Chiitan, the 0-year old fairy baby otter mascot tweets "Yes! Transgender people are my precious family and I love them with the bottom of my heart.

"Transgender people are less accepted in Japane than in the US, and people may look strange when they declare their identity, but I don't mind. It's a small thing like people saying bad things about Chiitan, so it's not an issue. It's far more important that transgender people all over the world 'are able to enjoy life peacefully being themselves, as a matter of course.'

"I will continue to send out messages to protect the rights of trans people. Please lend your support to Chiitan. Your voices give me energy. I love you all. Please continue to be by my side."

Below this is a picture of the mascot, wielding a giant soft-looking sword and shield.

One of the reasons I appreciate and respect trans people, is that understanding yourself at that level, and choosing to assert your identity in that way, is punk (as in rock) as fuck.

I suspect this might be what triggers some bigots so easily too. They could never do so for themselves in their own lives.

Settlement news today: Oracle to stop data harvesting and pay $115 million.
Congratulations to Mike Katz-Lacabe, Jennifer Goldbeck, and Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP
(We withdrew the global class for which I was a plaintiff)

Verstehe ich das richtig? Die Daten aus der #Stadtradeln APP werden über https://www.radverkehr-in-deutschland.de dann an Kommunen etc. verkauft?

Und dann auch noch von "Datenspendenden" reden?

Wenn's um das Gemeinwohl gehen würde, dann sollten diese Daten kostenlos verfügbar sein, schließlich werden die Eingangsdaten von allen Teilnehmenden gespendet.

speaking of propagators, this just showed up on the HN front page https://www.orionreed.com/posts/scoped-propagators

very cool!

new blog post: functional reactive user interfaces with propagators

https://dthompson.us/posts/functional-reactive-user-interfaces-with-propagators.html

a fun little experiment in declarative ui that doesn't do the react virtual dom thing.

@dthompson @daviwil I remember Sussmann saying the same in *We Really Don't Know How to Compute*, that the syntax he used for propagators is not necessarily final and that we should find a more expressive way to represent them

Personally I think visual graphs show a lot of promise in this regard, since they seem like a pretty nearly 1:1 mapping, e.g.: https://holograph-1.vercel.app/

Vielleicht können CDU/CSU/FDP/SPD/Grüne ja aus Frankreich die Idee abgucken, dass man Wahlen gewinnen kann, wenn man entschieden GEGEN Rechtsextreme auftritt?

(Noch krasser: In dem sie auch noch darauf verzichten, die rassistische Politik einfach selbst zu erledigen?)

I wonder: Does anyone want to write their own browser engine? In your choice of language/framework?

Because I'm happy to mentor! I've found some tricks in my own attempts.

Since I see plenty of thirst for more options...

If there's one thing I've learned as a browser-engine dev: Everything is political!

The most mundane things (e.g. how we answer "what time is it?") has the weight of historical politics behind it.

Software freedom is a political project, you can't "leave politics out of it"!

It makes a lot more sense to ask "how is this political?" than "is this political?". Because it is!

Shower thought: Companies only pay taxes on their profits — after subtracting all overhead from their revenue. People should get the same treatment. After subtracting our reasonable housing costs, electricity, water, transportation and a reasonable rate for their time (since companies get to deduct salaries to employees as overhead, we should get to do the same), the remainder is what we should pay taxes on.

git add CONTRIBUTING.md && git commit -m "More accurate language" && git push -f

A diff of a file named CONTRIBUTING.md.

Under a heading "On ideologically motivated changes" it replaces the following:

"This is a purely technical project. As such, it is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics or religious beliefs. Any changes that appear ideologically motivated will be rejected."

with this:

"This is a project run by people with established political views. As such, it is not an appropriate arena for ideas that run counter to those views. Any changes that appear to require us to examine our current beliefs will be rejected."

While is trending, keep in mind the devs are misogynist and transphobic fucks 0:-)

@MnemosyneSinger

Once I told my colleagues that I despise capitalism more and more, the older I get.

My boomer colleague said exactly this to me...

Well no, I still despise it more, with every minute I live.

I turned 41 on Sunday and I've only gotten more radical since my 20s

Boomers to 20 year old me: you'll become more conservative in your 40s. 

Me in my 40s: drawing of an anthropomorphic molotov cocktail with #BLM written on the label and a rainbow emanating from the flames. He's waving an anarchist flag and saying "EAT THE RICH!"

Die ARD-Journalistin Kathrin Schmid demonstriert in ihrem Kommentar zur »Chat-Kontrolle« ihre offensichtliche technische Unkenntnis, indem sie Grundrechte polemisch gegeneinander ausspielt. In einem Beitrag zeigen wir, dass mit weniger Oberflächlichkeit und mehr Sachverstand der Sache des Kinderschutzes mehr gedient wäre. 👇
