Absolutely agree about how everyone needs to learn how to program and debug; if the Internet survives the biosphere crisis, I fully expect basic web languages to be considered a form of literacy in the future in economically prosperous countries.

This is embarrassing but I actually need to do more reading into worker owned collectives myself, so I'll be sure to toot something at a later date. The gist as I understand it is that it's a company where each employee is also a full owner and instead of generating profits for a legally separate corporate entity, profits are fully distributed among worker-owners. I imagine it's like if the entire company is unionized instead of the historical management/union dichotomy.

I only learned about them from the CSL (I think it is) that went around the fediverse a bit ago; a software license that can only be used by individuals and worker owned collectives.

The film. I'm sure the original is less vapid, but less than optimistic about the fridging

@realcaseyrollins
Ah yes, dangerous gender transition. This seems like a rather biased source.

Just finished Batman: The Killing Joke for the first time, and wow. Vapid and grossly misogynistic in so many ways for the sake of shock value pretty much sums it up

@Shamar
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, the obvious ambiguity of the word free in the context of software doomed the movement from ever spreading to the mainstream. Not a single non-technical person I've ever met really appreciated the phrase or its importance even after explanation, and the movement is older than I am.

Wholeheartedly agree re: ethical startups though. #WorkerOwnedCollectives need to become the norm.

I can agree that faith can be a salve as much as it can be a drug. I prefer to think of myself in a style of a scientist honestly, and scientific methodology is really only concerned with what can be explicitly and demonstrably disproved; god is indeed something that cannot be disproved. Before I settled on a career in programming, I wanted to research the effects of spiritual belief on a person's psychology, so the distinction is important to me.

I'm glad I got to be a part of a new word for you!

@kashi
I'm not sure I agree or disagree. I can't quite articulate what isn't sitting well with me about either part of the argument. To be transparent, my own faith is in a divinity inherit to life, and general belief that if a demiurge exists, the nature of creation required it to seal itself from this universe.

To be further transparent, I don't understand popular atheism very well. Much of what I've seen appears aggressively self-important and more concerned with historical misuse of power than actual theology.

Heyyy, I just remembered this and had to leave my job recently. What kind of time frame is your team looking at?

Feeling like publishing an npm package for a custom React hook to set up IntersectionObserver on arbitrary nodes. I'd be cribbing the implementation from a Medium article but the unit testing could be fun.

Google might be a soulless corporation with individual employees capable of locking me out of every part of my phone if they think it necessary, but it's nice that the first time I tried it on Gboard, it knew that after the second consecutive "alright," the correct prediction is "alright" regardless of how many times it's repeated

That crushing moment when
