Given the level of technology we have today, if your system does not provide adequate sustenance, accommodation, education, and healthcare for all, it is not because it can’t; it’s because it is designed not to.

The year is 2089 and poverty is completely unknown. At least, the official amazon information screen in everyone's living unit doesn't have an entry for it.

It'd be a shame if this "Windows 10 only" emojo started popping up elsewhere.

This is a super important study done by true experts in this field. In 2018, OSS contributed between €65 and €95 billion to the 🇪🇺’s economy. At a minimum, that’s the equivalent of the entire GDP of Luxembourg Thanks @mirkoboehm@twitter.com @KnutBlind@twitter.com @andrewjskatz@twitter.com

Microsoft Teams telling me that a meeting has started on the phone when I started it myself on my laptop is the greatest evidence that machines aren't taking over the world any time soon.

Call of Cthulhu: It's a book of great evil!
Me: Atlas Shrugged?
CoC: Near unreadable in its rambling, incoherent diatribe of horror!
Me: Atlas Shrugged.
CoC: Those who read it becomes monsters dedicated to the torment of humanity!
Me: Yeah, that's Atlas Shrugged.

I just recently realised, that proprietary social networks are not social networks but entertainment networks. That's why at least my friends have a hard time switching to mastodon or pixelfed. People expect to be highly entertained the first second they enter the network and kept that way all the time. Being confronted with a network that is stripped from all these addictive tools is a massive cultural clash.

If you could work on any problem or project, and money were no object, what would that be?
That could be a personal project, a global one, local, some interest, whatevs.
Reshares welcomed.

Not funny, how most of the things in my timeline are navel-gazing westerners musing about what Afghanistan did to them and their feelings. It’s about the people there. Not about us. Good night.
