For the first time since I started taking the train twice a week, I walked to the train station without needing to stop or use a Lyft.

This brings back childhood memories.

Finally got access to my account again, thank you mastodon.social support!

Remember in the 90s, when teens were more tech savvy than adults, and everyone assumed that the savviest would just keep getting younger? Now it's 2017, and the people who were teens in the 90s are the most tech savvy generation and probably will be until they die.

Kids don't grow up with computers any more, they grow up with iPhones. If it's possible to learn to code on an iPhone, it's despite Apple's best efforts.

A film everybody should have seen: Revolution OS

"Linux wasn’t so much about being an operating system as it was about putting power in people’s hands. This isn’t so true anymore. Most of the few websites that remain are commercial endeavors that often confuse “software freedom” with the mere availability of source code and a free price tag. [..] The ideas behind the free software movement are now in danger of being reduced to merely a business model for managing software in the corporate world. [..] Without community, the free tech movement will disappear — of that, you can be certain."

You know what victims need? To be able to point out an issue and then be able to walk away from it. We still have no communities who can provide this kind of support. Instead we rely on victims to lead their own cause while simultaneously dealing alone with the mental, emotional, and FINANCIAL fallout of their own abuse.

White people are responsible for racism - white people need to lead the charge against it.

Men are responsible for the abuse of women - men need to lead the charge against it.

Less women being harassed so much that they give up on life.

More harassers giving up because they aren't tolerated.
