To quote Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice;"

Even he saw the problem.

This article makes me think of so many white people who I've met in my life with the attitude that "not all white people." It's a really important piece to read in this kind of trying time

Running Rust on the GPU with Accel by Brook Heisler: https://bheisler.github.io/post/rust-on-the-gpu-with-accel/ #Rust #games

Yo, we _need_ diversity. It's that simple. We cannot keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect thing to change.

We need women, LGBTI, Black, Brown, Native folks in the game because we need their ideas to push the community and culture forward. We need to make our spaces _more_ appealing to them because we need them. We need their insight, knowledge and experience to find solutions that elude dominant culture.

Diversity isn't a bullet point. It's literally life.

For those that missed the Twitch stream on Wednesday, here is the recording.

Five years ago to the day, the #PRISM program was made public. One of the main revelations in the summer of #Snowden, making very clear which companies we all should avoid.

However, let's not forget that Snowden had already tried to leak the information many months earlier. The NSA scandal almost didn't happen because Greenwald was reluctant to use PGP and didn't take Snowden seriously in the beginning. #TrueStory

Major incident on Northern Rail - thousands of cancelled trains for weeks and no end to the chaos in sight.

It has been dreadful for years. I don't know anyone in the North who commutes by train who hasn't either lost a job or been threatened with disciplinary action for lateness and non attendance.

If the service was in the South there would be acres of newsprint and hours of BBC coverage devoted to it.
