There is a very valid argument that Marxist theory has fallen behind in coming to grips with major changes and transformations. The practice, the forms of struggle, the movements, they too have fallen behind. It’s not changed or innovated itself. ”-- Prakash Karat https://mastodon.social/media/0uP50_e1gxdQNT0h87c

I am really excited to see that multiple projects are implementing ActivityPub right now and have excitement behind them.

The fediverse needs multiple implementations. I'm sure we all agree that one email client software or one email server software wouldn't be good. To escape monoculture, a protocol needs multiple happy and healthy implementations.

அறிவியல் கற்கவும், செயல்படுத்தவும் - நான் அறிந்தவரை மூன்று விடயங்கள் முக்கிய தேவையாக உள்ளன;
1. களச்செயல்கள்
2. தளச்செயல்கள்
3. கருவிகள்
மூன்றும் ஒன்றோடொன்று மிக நெருங்கிய தொடர்புடையவை. அறிவயல் மற்றும் சனநாயக வாழ்க்கை முறை, அதை சார்ந்த தத்துவார்த்த அறிவை கற்க, கற்பிக்க, பகிற இவை மூன்றும் இன்றியமையாததாக உள்ளன. இம்மூன்று மூலமாக அறிவியல் மேல்தட்டு குடிக்கான சொகுசாக இல்லாமல், அனைவருக்குமான சமூக பொருளாதாரம் சார்ந்த தினசரி செயலாக மாறும்.

1. pseudoscience
2. information pollution
3. knowledge access based discrimination
4. gov. threat
5. funding dependency
6. profit minded business models
7. Patents, IP's, Paywalls
8. Scientism
9. Over Honorary
10. misuse/disuse
11. Proprietarship/Ownership
12. NDA
13. Research Privatization
14. Anti-Independency
15. Anti-Dissent
16. Technocratism

My name is Florian, a web developer from the Arnhem, Netherlands area. My hobbies include languages, audio engineering, reading, composing and just havin' a good ol' time. I'm a fully blind developer and my guide dog and I get up to a bunch of mischief. Accessibility is a topic dear to my heart and I make it a point to keep my (web) accessibility skills and knowledge up to snuff. I occasionally give talks on the subject as well. Come say Hi some time! :) #introductions

I had made a habit of charging my phone over night. It worked out great.

Except my cat had made a habit of disconnecting my charger in my sleep.

Consequently, my phone hasn't been fully charged for weeks.

Cheeky bastard.

All cat owners have done this and all cats have responded this way:
