Do not get out of the train!" and then the closing doors sound plays. someone on another car is trying to bust out maybe :o
Signal is looking for a someone to work with them [1]. Of course they are based in SF. Of course the candidates have to be in the US.
You know what? If you want to make a difference in the world today, don't make your tech US centric.
Why the fuck all of these company make a point to be in SF. What is the idea behind that?
A lot of the mass surveillance problems are tied to silicon valley itself. If you don't even reflect on that, why bother?

im kinda interested to go to the linksunten demo, would be my first on a while, but seems worth it, as im down to demonstrate (peacefully, i shant be arrested) and govt censorship of the left while our streets are filled with AFD neo-nazi election propaganda is fucked up.

Researchers have examined DNS censorship, e.g. in which countries you get the most manipulated DNS replies, and for what kinds of websites.

well, now we've scientifically proven that male scientists (you know, those people trained to be objective) show gender bias. in fact, according to one study, when asked to evaluate research on gender bias against women in science, they always preferred the fake research suggesting that no such bias exists. and before i hear you men whining, the head researcher on that last one was a man. sorry men, but it's pretty obvious you're biased, even when you think you're not.

Anybody got a dump of linksunten.indymedia.org? I might or might not set up a mirror (or seed via torrent) if I get my grubby little hands on this.
Ich hab mal den linksunten post von Netzpolitik gemirrort, bevor wieder jemand zu laut "Volksverräter" hustet.

Listen, have you heard about this new
"POISON GAS VERSION"?
do not read the ycombinator comments on the ayo.js/node fork news. by the nine, that shit is whack.
Ayo.js is the fork of Node.js, created because of unsatisfactory community standards and practices, incl a lack of enforcement of the CoC by the Technical Steering Committee
The github project of the fork of Node.js
https://github.com/ayojs/ayo
Article that attempts to explain the context of Ayo.js fork https://sourcecontribute.com/2017/08/22/node-js-has-forked-into-ayo/
I have seen this news, but have not fully understood what it means for me as a Node user and a feminist in tech. Thought I would share what I found for other confused ppl.
tacoma washington is amazing fuck the haters.

"these communists are paid protestors!" - pro trump media
actually misdirecting from the fact that there really are paid pro trump/republican protestors, particularly minorities. this is well documented btw.
it reminds me of the 30 rock bit where the republicans hire a black actor to say 'how can the republicans hate black people, if they gave me $10,000 to do this promo?'
