naming conventions for apps/applications is really getting old. (would you ever guess Inventum is about accessing a movie database?)
there have been some movement toward generic names with KDE and GNOME but ultimately we have not escaped the application paradigm.
it's about time we start distributing functions and libraries of functions that users can assemble themselves.

I am a Buddhist anarchist forging my own way in this world.
Recovering from capitalist abuses, I now work to create systems that protect humanity and our home.
I am ready to build and to learn.

This is the first time in a while I've felt like buying bitcoin. That drop was too much panic and too little reason.

We need to know whether our hospitals are safe. If we can't even prevent retaliation against healthcare workers for warning of hazards during a pandemic, "whistleblower protection" is a cruel myth. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-31/hospitals-tell-doctors-they-ll-be-fired-if-they-talk-to-press

Coronavirus: GE workers walk off the job and demand they build ventilators

subtoot-ish, tech
imagine being CEO-or-whatever of Mozilla Corporation, showing up on a panel at Decentralized Web Summit, and then shoving Pocket centralized bookmarking service and DNS-over-HTTPS centralized service down your user's gullets

web browsers seem to do everything else
why not add teleconferencing to the mix?
I wish that every technology was dedicated to the public domain
but I must be some kind of nutcase for thinking that, huh
in my view, something as critical as teleconferencing facilities need to be both free-and-open specification/implementation.
the pandemic is turning everyone into socialists and its incredible to see.
what's that? don't have enough of X resource?
form a co-op and meet the need under a sustainable mission!
