Even as those who oppose reparations argue it is unfeasible or too costly, one British university is proving that it is both possible and necessary to make amends for the enslavement and genocide of African people. http://bit.ly/2V0Yb6g

When #ActivityPub 1.0 was released, I hoped that the whole federated social would be able to inter-operate by about now. Sadly, a year later, this is not the case. Some older projects are still stuck on #OStatus, the core #Diaspora developers steadfastly refuse to even attempt inter-operation, and the #Zot developer has now abanded it too. So, essentially #XKCD 927 happened and we are more fragmented that we were before :(

industry hackathons are spec work

People who argue based on slippery slopes are effectively calling themselves spineless and incapable of internally realized ethical boundaries. Else they'd get that people can handle continua without having to force a binary categorization onto it. Real ethical boundaries operate in real ambiguity, and do so just fine thanks.

Chatted with @Vyllibh and @54ward about some BW photos earlier and it made me wanted post a couple of mine.
