The economy is important.
People are more important.
People who need help are the most important.
I just learned about an alternate timeline of human history where the Egyptian, Greek and Roman empires all occurred at the same time. Do people really believe this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Chronology_%28Fomenko%29?wprov=sfla1

The North Face becomes the first major company to boycott Facebook as the calls for advertisers to walk out of the platform in July intensify
If the government ever suggests getting a good night's sleep because it is good for my health, I am totally stopping that. That would be too much government over reach trying to control my life!

@fsfe I was not able to use your Mastodon social link on https://publiccode.eu/ to post to the Fediverse. I tried many variations of mastodon.technology.
If it is public money, it should be public code as well! I support @fsfe's call for more #publiccode: https://publiccode.eu/

@avetozar @trickster When you're adding "features" rather than solving problems, all meaning is lost, and doing all this in an ecosystem you've had little to no say in just means now you're having to fight your way through annoyances and obstacles in order to "achieve" these completely meaningless goals.
