"Juggling irreverence and sincerity, HoMu seeks to subvert the increasingly impersonal, market-driven art world and expose the sellout of cultural institutions to commerce, cronyism, real estate, and star architects."

Is now a good time to remind everyone of alternative social networks? It doesn't hurt to take a look around, and see what kind of community you could build if you were using another platform for your social life online.

I've been eyeing https://mastodon.social for a while, and it could be your new favourite social network. I'm @kongputer, and a newbie myself. Come say hi.

The Need for Accountable Technology - Part 1

As a major survey lead by GitHub supports (and comes as little surprise), the Free Software community is mostly white, male, cisgendered, financially well off, formally educated, able-bodied, straight, English speakers and citizens of Global North countries.

This means that the same groups of people designing and building proprietary software are also building Free Software. It means that despite its open licensing, the Free Software movement maintains the status quo of white supremacy, patriarchy and capitalism.

For Free Software to truly be free - to be free for anyone to build and use, we need to radically restructure our projects. It means building diverse communities where we are accountable to one another.

I like this vision of driverless cars. Especially the singing.

"Developers, designers, and product need to talk more on how to achieve this. A 1,700 word article might weigh 10KB but by the time you load HTML, JS, CSS, images, 3rd-parties, and ads, it can range between 2MB to 8MB depending on the web site. Bear in mind, the first Harry Potter ebook is 1.1MB and that includes cover art."

Plastic particles found in bottled water - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-43388870 Reminds me of Anil Dash's write up about the bottled water industry: http://anildash.com/2007/07/bottled-water-is-still-a-scam.html. Get a container that you can reuse, and just fill it with tap water. Better for you, and the environment.

Rest in Power. Craig Mack's "Project Funk Da World" and Biggie's "Ready to Die" were my highlights of 94-95.
