It makes perfect sense when you interpret "antisemitism" as "opposition to the Israeli government." Perhaps it's time to admit that the meaning of the word has shifted, and we're not getting the old meaning back, just like "hacker" before it.

As someone who has been programming since being a young teenager, things like this make me enormously sad.

If I was banned from being part of tech communities until the age of 16 or even 18 I would've never been able to learn all I did. I would've never been able to truly get into FOSS.

I would've never had a chance to become who I now am.

Age verification is literally killing the ability for kids and teens to excitedly participate and learn cool stuff and learn how to have digital agency.

The Board of Deputies has said many ridiculous things over the years but this is another level. The fascist leader gets a hechsher (kosher stamp) while the Jewish one is beyond the pale.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews & the Jewish Leadership Council are organising a rally against antisemitism.

PM Keir Starmer, is considering attending, and Tory leader Kemi Badenoch is expected to speak. Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage & LibDem leader, Ed Davey, have also been invited, but the only Jewish party leader, the Green Party's Zack Polanski, has not.

Tells you all you need to know.

Downing Street rally asks ‘silent majority’ to fight antisemitism

Open letter criticising invitation to Nigel Farage warns of association with ‘racism and inflammatory rhetoric’

The Guardian
my post clarifying that this is not a golden calf is raising questions already answered by my post.

Some people think that venture capital is a fundamentally evil business structure. I disagree.

Thought experiment:
If you could press a button tomorrow, that would cause 50% of the entire population of the continent of Africa to die within 5 years😮, but would 50X your profits and create dozens of trillion dollar companies, and help humanity become interplanetary 10 years earlier, would you press it?

If you're on this weird little Mastodon thing reading this, then you are most likely:
1) A technologist of some sort
2) Not a genocidal maniac

So you would of course say no.

Some of you suspect that I'm going to *imply* that many VCs would say yes. But I'm not going to imply anything. I don't have to. Because many of these VCs have written papers and blog posts under their real names, celebrating the fact that they believe that it's wrong *not* to press that button.🤦🏿‍♂️

The problem with VC is neither the profit motive, nor the business structure.

The problem is that the vast majority of the funds that our entire society uses to solve hard problems, are controlled and allocated by people that believe that it is their duty to create new buttons like the one above, and then mash it repeatedly.

Just checking in from doggy day care, where good times have been had this week.
