Dear brilliant folks of the Don, I have a very leery of social media friend who is intrigued by what I've been telling him of Mastodon and is looking for an instance to join.

I am trying to get him here but he wants an instance for someone who is an:

"Artist, educator, gardener, father, the builders who love breakfast."

Know of any good fits? #mastodon #instances

Mozilla is asking for your opinion about what it's doing, and the survey appears to be aimed at getting you used to the idea that "AI" will become an integral focus area.

I told them that I want Mozilla to focus SOLELY on improving Firefox and Thunderbird, with zero AI in the product.

I truly hate the discourse about optimism vs pessimism in tech. Dismissal of people who care about underlying ethics. As always, you’re either building to support existing power disparities or working to build more ethical alternatives. You can be pro institution or pro human, not both.

No one knows what is going to happen with the election on November 5th in the US, but what we do know is that both candidates are deeply unpopular with vast amounts of the population. Republican Donald Trump pushes far-Right conspiracy theories, calls for mass deportations, and for the military to shoot protesters. Democrat Kamala...

A truly Christian postliberalism would imagine and enact an alternative modernity with a different standard of progress.

Been thinking about the John Kelly interview all morning.

I liked what #podsaveamerica said this morning about if Republicans like Kelly really believed he was this dangerous they should be doing more to stop Trump.

I am of the opinion that we need to believe people when they tell us who they are. I think some folks voting for Trump think he doesn't mean it. BUT I think there are plenty who actually want him to do what he is saying, hoping he will not only win but can take out resentments.
