"Thanks! But..."
"Yes?"
"This is just 'Ethics' and 'Human rights' and things like that."
"Correct, that's the first year curriculum."
"Do we have to learn all this?"
"Of course! What do you think this is, software engineering?"

Why women in psychology can't program

"About two months ago my brother, who works in data science on social psychology data, asked me why his colleagues, who are women and have PhDs in psychology, cannot code"

#sinterklaas is geen 'kinderfeestje', kinderen zijn adaptief en open voor verandering. Dit is een nostalgie masturbatie feestje voor volwassenen.

Translation: Sinterklaas is no 'children's-party'. Children are adaptive and open to change. This is a nostalgia-masturbation party for adults.

I am so fucking angry.

Oil companies, for decades, have been DELIBERATELY ACCELERATING global warming in order to MELT THE FUCKING MELT THE POLAR ICE CAPS so they can extract oil from the Arctic more easily!

#bicycle #mastobikes I tooted about how people in my city #berlin are complaining about parked bikes everywhere, but parked cars everywhere are so normalized that nobody even notices how much space they take up.

crossposted it to birbsite and *tada* we have a discussion on how asshole cyclists are using the footpaths for parking and riding..

🙄

I get it's a discussion we need to have, but we don't need it *every fucking time*.

Le web, 2018

Every single mainstream tech site (Engadget, Ars Technica, TechCrunch etc) is more about consumerism than helping to improve the lot of humanity through technology. No wonder our relationship with tech is very disposable, things need to change.

Wir freuen uns zu sehen, dass die #Tagesschau ihr eigenes #FDroid Repo betreibt: https://service.tagesschau.de/app/repo/

Das ist ein großartiger Schritt in die richtige Richtung! Das Repo enthält die offizielle App der Tagesschau, die leider nicht frei und quelloffen ist, obwohl sie durch Steuergelder finanziert wird.

Wenn es sich um öffentliche Gelder handelt, sollte auch der Code öffentlich sein! #PublicCode
