Coolest christmas thing to do in the Netherlands: visit the Church in The Hague that is entering its 9th week of holding uninterrupted 24/7 church services to prevent the police from entering the building and deporting a refugee family.
The church always needs at least one visitor to legally be in service so a time like 5 AM is the very best moment to come show your solidarity.

The future will look at the first forty+ years of the video game industry & say, "This deeply toxic, misogynistic, adolescence-worshipping culture functioned as a core pillar of military-industrial complex propaganda, was instrumental as a vector of far-right global fascism through things like gamergate, & was emblematic of 'capitalism' -- profiting billionaires on the backs of criminally underpaid overworked kids."

The evolved sapient tardigrades will say, orbiting the lifeless husk of Earth.

Reminder: don't confess to crimes online. Even ones that are fun or good praxis. No, not even on a platform you think is anonymous.

It would be cool if there was a machine-readable way to represent various Mastodon server rules.

Then they could not only be filtered by such rules on directories like instances.social, but apps could display summaries when displaying a sign up screen.

I imagine it might work a bit like rubocop rule names (e.g. "Style/FrozenStringLiteralComment") but I don't know how practical this idea is. Don't take this as me planning to do it, just sharing thoughts.

What is the good FLOSS alternative for GoodReads then? I'm mostly interested in tracking and less in reviews

@gcupc This resonates with me very strongly. "I can speak only for myself here, but personally, my interest in the moguls’ experience is vanishingly dim; what matters to me is the internet itself and the people who use it."

"The internet of 1995 and 1999 and 2001 and even 2007 was a backwater by today’s standards, but to me, it was the most wonderful thing. It was strange and silly and experimental and constantly surprising, and it made you feel good about other people, because online, away from corporate media and every channel of established culture, other people turned out to be constantly surprising too. They [...] told you, to your eternal benefit, about what it was like to be someone other than yourself."

anyone still need a #35c3 ticket?

Now that the discourse around #Facebook begins to implicitly accept that it's declining or collapsing, it's become a sure thing. To help accelerate the decline, remind your friends and family of the services that Facebook owns that they should avoid along with the social network: #Instagram, #Whatsapp.
Remind them that #Google are just a more powerful Facebook.
Before they migrate to a new silo, and a new master.. let them know something new is growing over here on the Fediverse.

Just popping up from my self-imposed December hiatus to share this.

THANK YOU to everyone involved with #MoodleNet in 2018. It's been a great year.

I haven't got room to thank everyone here, but you should find yourself mentioned in the post if you helped (let me know if not!)

21st century fascism has shockingly coalesced around dualism, the idea that nature is ours to be dominated. Fascist states of today don't just ignore climate destabilization, they're actively accelerating it. While the icecaps melt Trump, Putin and Prime Minister Pipeline are all divvying up the oil spoils. With a warming globe, land in Russia, Canada and Alaska is going to become far more valuable. They're playing real estate speculation games with billions of lives.

States cannot and will not fight this, we need Green Partisans, we need a Climate Resistance.

The Buyerarchy of Needs, by Sarah Lazarovic.

This is important for preventing climate change, because the manufacture and sale of new things creates a lot of CO2 compared to the bottom 5 layers of the pyramid.

Here is a painfully blunt webcomic I drew on post-it notes.
