"How do we distinguish ourselves from the companies in Silicon Valley?"
Ethics spring to mind.

@aral I'm Jewish, I have family in Israel and I lived with my partner in Tel Aviv for 3 months, a decade ago. But I'm outraged at the atrocities Israel has been committing and I'm infuriated both by people who conflate opposition to Israel with antisemitism, as well as those who use hatred of Israel as a justification for actual antisemitic acts. Being Jewish and a supporter of Israel are not the same thing. And I see it as the duty of Jewish people everywhere to stand against genocide.
I got banned from using Facebook Messenger for five days because I sent a message that it didn’t like. I still have no idea what it was.
Tell me again how wonderful AI is.
@br00t4c I’m convinced an AI could easily create bonds that undermine attempts to end austerity, and then keep saying stuff that’s really obvious. There’s also the minor point that most of the so-called AI redundancies are actually from over recruitment or just cost cutting in disguise.

So I accidentally blew up my Hubzilla instance. It was a perfect storm of trying to move things, trying to clean things up, cleaning *all* the wrong things and *none* of the right things, and hardware failures.
I don't think anyone was really using it apart from me and @Protestation (sorry!) and I wasn't even sure if I wanted to rebuild it, but I did — mainly because I realized that fedi really is the only way in which I socialize at all these days.
So, as sad as that is — if you're reading this, you're part of my people, and you should know that I lost quite a few of my people, so even if you don't know who I am, I would really appreciate if you boosted this post to help me find again the people who do. Thank you!

I do think it’s important when people just throw the Nordics out there that we acknowledge a lot of that is built on colonialism.

Ran into a problem in prod?
Just generate a fake cloudflare error page and blame it on them - gives you time to fix.
