#fluter just published an article [DE] about #kanthaus, the project house I helped set up and live at.

https://www.fluter.de/diese-soli-wg-teilt-sich-alles

Title reads "Diese WG teilt sich alles – von den Betten bis zur Unterwäsche" (This shared flat shares everything — from bedsheets to underwear) Which isn't untrue 😆

They write: „Das Wohnprojekt erinnert auf den ersten Blick an eine Hippiekommune, agiert aber fast wie ein Start-up“ 😹 (Seems like a hippie commune, acts like a start up)

It is so sad to see it claimed that if we do not restart the economy more lives will be lost than if we let #COVID19 run rampant

We have still have and for decades have had enough resources to provide enough for every human.

What we are saying is that if some people don't get their next mansion expansion, fancy car and holiday they will let others die - And saddest of all, it's true.

"Just last week I reduced global emissions by an estimated 59.000 kg CO2 per month by removing a 20 kB JavaScript dependency in Mailchimp for WordPress. There’s no way I can have that kind of effect in other areas of my life."

I wish more programmers cared just a little bit. Sure, we don't all work on things that have such a big impact, but all our small things add up.

@emsenn We already had our kid at home with us but it's good to have that reminder from someone who understands that when trying to meet deadlines and stuff with children in the room is difficult, it's not the child that is unreasonable, but the deadlines

Traditional Indigenous Kinship Practices

Not sure what to copy-paste from this one but it's a good read.

Parents especially. Teachers, maybe pass on to parents?

I feel bad for all those folks who Marie Kondo'd their lives a few months back and are left with 3 shirts, 2 plates, no cookware, and half a book to get them through social distancing.

Today I learned that many/most color laser printers layer an array of yellow microdots on top of documents 🔬

This Machine Identification Code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Identification_Code encodes a print date and a serial number unique to the machine. It only became public knowledge in 2004, ~20 year after deployment 😑

The Technical University of Dresden released a tool 2 years ago to layer on _even more dots_ to render the MIC unreadable and aid whistleblowers publishing https://github.com/dfd-tud/deda ✊

So a new social media site is only as good as your network! Who out there is doing #philosophy, #philsci, #history, #histsci, #dighum, #dh?

(Ça convient également en français : #philosophie #histoire)

Maybe we can get a big #ff thread going?
