This is the real Java-Script because it is #JS written in the Javanese alphabet:

This is apparently how you say ”Your device doesn’t get compromised by nation state actors” in a way that makes people to actually update...

ironically my first attempt to copy this link failed, because google uses onclick javascript to turn search result urls into tracking garbage

Which is of course not to say that text encoding is (or can be) apolitical. On this topic I always recommend @chimeracoder@twitter.com's classic 2015 piece https://modelviewculture.com/pieces/i-can-text-you-a-pile-of-poo-but-i-cant-write-my-name

If anything, the importance of the campaign (and of representation and diversity efforts generally!) just underscores how bizarre it is to put these decisions in the hand of a text encoding standards body

I don't begrudge this campaign one bit, but emoji were such a mistake https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/28/us/afro-emoji.html

You're forbidden from teleporting because there's insufficient data sanitization and some junk DNA in you makes the program crash

Popup ads afflict teleporters, too—every few trips, you're rerouted to the mall, the casino, to whatever institution is buying travelers

In my keyboard research, one of the most amazing and constant features is how *early* some of the ideas appeared.
Often, the things that seem to only make sense in the computer universe, existed much earlier, in the physical world.

It's unambiguous, it sorts properly, and it's the ISO 8601 standard for a very good reason.

I think it doesn't get discussed enough how people of different levels of technical sophistication authenticate the *origin* and *integrity* of stuff they see online (to say nothing about the *veracity*, a whole 'nother question)

Lots of people weren't around for when the fediverse was at its first peak at around 2010-2011. Google Plus swept in and plenty of people quit the fediverse saying "Google will do a better job keeping this running than independent sites can." For this and some other reasons, for some time the fediverse was a ghost town.
Let's not forget that next time.
