This is bad. Two wrongs don't make a right. Not to minimise the seriousness of #cyberflashing, but sharing with the world intimate/sensitive data/media without the consent of the other party is reprehensible (too).

#BillGates “concludes that people with three backgrounds will be the most in-demand from here on out: #science, #engineering and #economics. […] ‘I do think of basic knowledge of the sciences, #math skills, economics — a lot of #careers in the future will be very demanding on those things,’ Gates says.”

Useful heuristic for life: if you catch yourself expressing ideas similar to these, probabilistic chances are that you are wrong:
👉 “Music nowadays is rubbish.”
👉 “Young people today don't know how to have a good time.”
👉 “Kids are not interested in anything now.”
👉 “The media has become all uniform and partisan — not like in my youth.”
👉 “Where are commitment, creativity, rebellion in these days?”
👉 “This generation will have it worse than my generation.”
Consuming #news about #politics is more similar to {opening a tabloid, looking at bikini pics of a celebrity on Twitter or watching a 10″ clip of some bizarre sporting curiosity} than to {reading an essay or listening to a well-researched podcast}.
Political news are mainly morbidness and supernormal stimulus — not useful knowledge.
@zkat You gave me confidence to do the same 😆 I just moved away from my (personal) inbox everything but a couple dozen messages: > 2,900 messages moved.

Please boost this post if you would like the EFF to join the fediverse. 
In a survey the EFF sent me, I suggested they create an account on the fediverse, so they can reach more supporters and support innovative free software that promotes interoperability among platforms, something they've advocated for in the past, too.
If you can boost this post, maybe I'll be able to show them that there are quite a few users who would like them here!
The EFF is the infamous nonprofit organisation that fights for privacy, government transparency, and digital freedom. Their fight is very important, and the EFF is very special to me. https://www.eff.org/about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Frontier_Foundation
You can see some of their work here https://www.eff.org/work
In the meantime, you can follow @eff, which is an unofficial mirror of their Twitter.
It was so cool to be in the room when this moment happened, back in my @w3c days…
