I thought we’d found a use for my husband’s car after a couple months of disuse bc he fell on his bike and hurt himself pretty bad earlier and I wanted to swing over to pick him up but this idiot brought the car key with him but not the car so he had to toughen up and take the train home lol

not answering for her obv but what you see as a "push for profit" is not accurate. over 80% of the for-profit Mozilla Corp (not Foundation)'s revenue (not profit, *revenue*) comes from one source (google paying for search placement). any alternative income stream seems like a boon to resilience.

Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic

from a cursory glance, your background is as a dev, her background includes the MFIA, which provides pro bono legal services to independent journalists to protect free press and free speech in an age of oligarchy. I don't know of any other tech executives with that background.

this has been haunting me all day

the difference between "exploitative capitalism" and "fully automated luxury communism" is who gets the benefit of improved technology

literally nothing else, the technology itself fundamentally cannot be and is not either capitalism or communism

Not even all nix builds, or all of NixOS, are reproducible actually lol. I mean it had a head start but other distros (eg Fedora) have made great strides. There’s a leaderboard somewhere out there that I can’t find on my phone rn

People who don’t live in Midtown are literally steaming about the new road diet + street parking + protected cycle track on Juniper, it’s actually unreal.

Most of those buildings are high density mixed use or residential, these people have utter contempt for the people actually living there.

I’m a cyclist and commute on transit, having awesome transition lenses that adjust to lighting conditions (I ride in the dark/take transit), non-sound-blocking audio that sounds reasonable (I am in public), and really good audio/video recording with good hands free controls is awesome
