Campaign to bring back curly cables. Sign my petition. Boost if you agree.

We pay to Steam, Netflix, Amazon prime, Spotify. But not to Wikipedia, Archive.org, Librivox, Project Gutenberg, for our favourite Linux distro.

The huge asymmetry between corporate and community has not emerged naturally. It is a product of our choices of not supporting community oriented projects.

The short conveniences vs the long-term good. We always chose the former.

In face of surveillance capitalism, we must and must change.

its funny that peoplr act like wealth redistribution is this radical impossible political idea when in america every 10 years there is an economic contraction and you, the worker, have your wealth redistributed to the rich

Surveillance capitalism is the same as climate change, but for data:

- Some people have been warning about its consequences for years
- Most people don't care because they don't feel concerned, they can't see it affecting them
- A few companies are making a lot of damage with the help of governments
- When we will face the consequences it will be too late
- We can still do something about it, and the sooner the better

Also, if you are even a bit interested in devops or security, I am hiring support engineers again and also looking for a kickass technical writer to overhaul our troubled docs (job listing for that one will go up next week) - https://boards.greenhouse.io/humio #techjobs #hiring #devops #infosec

Did you play in [average indie band] in [second class city] in [1998] and have since moved on to become a primary school teacher or archbishop or something?

Go dig out your old bands CDs, rip them and put them up on Bandcamp for like $2. Someone out there, like me, who loved your music but lost/destroyed your CD years ago will be *very* happy to find you again.

(I’m utterly extatic to have just found this https://flatstanleyau.bandcamp.com)

Try our app, it's exactly like our website down to the pixel except for how it accesses your contacts, location, microphone, pictures and camera and it's not always nagging you to try our app.

Reminder: You don't need to justify taking a break in terms of it being an investment in future productivity

Tired: Hazard pay
Wired: A living wage and socialized healthcare.

Mastodon in a nutshell:

Omg why is everyone so cute.

And there are so many shit posts.

Sometimes, I take the three minutes to re-watch "People in Order of Age", and reflect on who resonates with me, and how I'd like to be seen. It's very effective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INuC1fRD-a4
