But Amazon's @RING still partners with 1300 law enforcement agencies to put surveillance tech in the hands of unaccountable police. http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/amazon-ring-must-end-its-dangerous-partnerships-police

Amazon Ring Must End Its Dangerous Partnerships With Police

Across the United States, people are taking to the street to protest racist police violence, including the tragic police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. This is a historic moment of reckoning for law enforcement. Technology companies, too, must rethink how the tools they design and...

'Google is a multinational corporation that represents a particular culture and Material Design is just another tentacle of the octopus that monopolizes the Web.

Thatโ€™s why, more than ever, movements like Web-Brutalism that have the boldness and the courage to question those โ€œrational aestheticsโ€, dictated by science and technology, are very relevant.'

Material Design is a political choice

@KnowPresent Every year - without a pandemic - the Kulturelle Landpartie Wendland is organised. The event is held decentrally in the many small villages in the Wendland - from theatre, to home-made food, political workshops and concerts, everything is there.

I was there last year and can only recommend it.
