Most of those hostile designed benches to keep homeless people from sleeping in public? They are usually just regular benches with the bar in the middle attached later with a few hex nuts and bolts, not welded. In other words you can get them off with practically any wrench that fits. I have been liberating my parks in my city all day now. It takes maybe a few minutes per bench. The only problem is finding a place to dispose of the junk bar when you're done without loading trash cans past capacity. Anyway, it's easy, it's helpful, and it's praxis.

"The 'Surveillance Scores' Companies Use to Rip You Off Might Be Totally Illegal."

"The next time you go to buy toilet paper online, an algorithm may decide to charge you $5 more than your neighbor. You’d probably never know. But even if you did, there’s no way for you to find out why."

@ego_echo Bolsonaro is een Facist

EU staat op punt grootste vrijhandelsverdrag ooit te sluiten: de Mercosur-deal met oa het Brazilië van Bolsonaro. EU zet zo grenzen wagenwijd open voor spotgoedkope landbouwproducten, als plofkippen en rundvlees. Onacceptabel! #stopmercosur https://joop.bnnvara.nl/opinies/bolsonaro-bedreigt-nederlandse-boeren

How I deal with the heat. Or rather, how my PC does.

Currently following the mutation of the Revolutionary Communist Party into the Brexit Party..
It's a masterclass in practical entryism / sectarianism. If they ever had an ideology it's long been lost in the pursuit of individual power.

There is a silly bit of wasteland near me, that is used for rubbish dumping and car parking, and it's covered in wild flowers at the moment

Don’t beat yourself up about your first thought

Your first thought is a product of conditioning

It’s the second thought that matters

Last week, @staltz published an article looking at the funding of open source projects.

It's a long-form article full of nuance:

Tl/dr: More needs to be done to fund open development, including more pressure on companies to donate to projects they benefit from, unionising, alternative licences and more donations in general.

This made me wonder, should there be a day on the Fediverse where we promote donations to a particular project? For example a #SupportSunday?
