    It's very frustrating the Rust project uses Discord at all.

    It is very frustrating that one can't leave individual channels in discord, and can only join/leave whole servers.

    while we’re here, Slack is like IRC except you can’t talk to people who use screen readers or have less than 8 GB of RAM to spare

    you, a rube: services with user avatars are better than IRC because seeing people’s faces makes it feel more personal me, an intellectual: having actual people you’re talking to rather than shouting into the void makes it much easier to think about the effects of your speech

    Bitlbee is nice because DMs work super well through it and I can still see them when I’m not looking at Twitter much.

    Still on twitter break. Occasionally looking at the TL through bitlbee though. It strikes me that twitter is just like one big IRC channel where nobody pays attention to what anybody else is saying.

    "We're not helping the nazis imprison children, we're just helping them check their email"

    Here’s echoing our earlier reporting, saying Microsoft’s ICE contract doesn’t involve facial recognition. No explanation for the January blog that claimed otherwise

    Google has Project Maven. Amazon has Rekognition. Microsoft has this ICE contract. Salesforce is modernizing CBP. Palantir is...Palantir. The entire tech industry is complicit, and fighting it requires us to organize throughout the industry, across roles, companies, and borders.

    I was not going to get involved because so many people have jumped on the band wagon. But it pisses me off. Warning: Rant coming on!

    That other high point was after the Muslim ban. Dehumanizing nonwhites plays to the base.

    As long as there are walls, there are incentives to punish people who try to cross those walls.

    Abolish ICE. Absolutely. But while we’re at it let’s abolish the borders that give ICE and the like an excuse to operate and exist.
