"The illimitable, silent, never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing ocean-tide, on which we and all the Universe swim like exhalations, like apparitions which are, and then are not: this is forever very literally a miracle; a thing to strike us dumb - for we have no word to speak about it."
Look; if you don’t support #LandBack, you probably don’t understand what is actually being proposed. #Everything I have read and heard has been very reasonable and fair. The only folks talking about revenge campaigns are #WhiteSupremacists trying to drum up #fears. The movement is co-axial with a lot of the #ideas in the #Ecological and Green movements. It’s a #decolonizing measure. It has the potential to benefit lots of #people, including non-Natives, given that many of the proposals would dramatically improve air and water quality and increase access to food across economic class lines. These folks have good ideas. I am asking you, politely, to just, take a look
Thank you for your replies about our concerns with UX.
To explain the context, we worked a lot on the UI/UX due to several feedback. We didn't push all that work on our git but that was somewhat a fail.
We asked the help of UX designers and we wanted to open a collective dedicated to that work.
But, we were deeply surprised to see so much messages telling that the UX was OK. We were not used to it.
If end-stage capitalism has a motto, it's this: "Stop hitting yourself." The great failure of "voting with your wallet" is that you're casting ballots in a one party system (The Capitalism Party), and the people with the thickest wallets get the most votes.

I usually write this blog 5-6 days/week, but every now and again, I take a break, and when I do, I get massive link backlogs of stuff I want to write about, but lack the time to address in depth. When that happens, I turn my Saturday edition into a #linkdump. Today, I present the sixth in the series - here's the other five:

Pour ouvrir un logiciel je fais toujours la touche WIN puis je tape textuellement les 3 premières lettre du nom puis je fait ENTER.

Du coup j'avais installé Everything + Everything Toolbar.
There are many large and #serious#problems in the world. Many people are victimized by the #system in a thousand different ways. This is not their story; it is not about their problems, but this should not be seen as minimizing them.
I'd like to talk about something a little closer to home: #employee#abuse in the #tech field. I've been in this field for <mumble> years and worked for tiny companies, medium consulting companies, large orgs, and as a one-man independent contractor.
