I have to admit I get nervous when I see Devs on here being obsessed with scale and reaching billions of people. Yes we do need to share information. But we can't scale context or the complexities of language. We can't really understand the scale of billions. Sharing information and translating is an art and takes some empathy. Scale does matter for the transport, but the message? 🤷‍♀️ You need to consider context, that takes people.

A very long overdue network for me to leave. It's been owned by Microsoft for a long time. It's corporate culture filled to the brim with AI slop is repellent. But their bending of the knee to allow hate speech against transgender folks finally did it for me. I've given the one month warning to folks who know me on LinkedIn. If you're still on #LinkedIn perhaps consider leaving as well?

Getting awfully crowded in my sky. I know Matrix.org is protecting itself in the UK as that's where it's based. Age gating a chat server isn't right. I really hate all this because of the online harms act. I hate the fact that UK services feel they have no choice but to comply. At least I still have IRC. 🙇

Some folks particularly in the #NoPolitics #FOSS crowd want everyone to work together for the greater good. To discuss politics would open a can of worms. Politics are an integral part of culture, it forms cultural norms, weither folks choose to explicitly acknowledge it or not. Our personal politics will always be in the background. Our views on humanity and who's #HumanRights are respected. Being able to ignore politics shows a level of comfort and privilege in a culture, the status quo.

Like what's wrong with ORCID and perhaps universities making the degrees available? Saying that my degree is public information. It was published in May 2002 along with my fellow classmates in the local newspaper. I do not want my degree award in the blockchain FFS. It's like a Zombie and I wish someone would put the whole concept of the blockchain out of it's misery.
