Today's gender is the sound of a party in another room.

every single one of these things should be treated with the same respect and reverence we give any prestigious "thought leader". And I don't mean this in a "humor the children" way. I mean that they have important and valuable perspectives to contribute

@w4tsn sry, nur Frankfurt hier, ist sicher mal wieder nicht ganz gleich. Wir haben 93 Stimmen, und ihr?

8 yo was asked to sign a contract to agree to class rules at school. She said to the teacher, "It's not a valid contract if I don't have a choice."

Your most important professional skill: not being depressed.

trolling. Couldn't come up with anything useful, sry... 

@pee_zombie so we should have less private property to ensure we still have a useful public sphere?

Hello! This is a project account for #MoaParty, an open source tool for cross posting between #twitter, #mastodon, and other systems.

@flancian, @vera, and @bmann are a squad working on hosting and maintaining it as a public utility, as well as adding new features, like support for [[wikilinks]] directly into your #secondbrain via git.

The home base is currently GitLab to get involved gitlab.com/fedstoa/moa, where you'll also find a link to the Matrix chat room.

ok, so onto rephrasing what I said

the technology industry we have is not working. the model of centralized companies owning & profiting off of user data while keeping it in silos engineered to be anti-competitive is not working. we need alternatives

I need to do a mini lit review this week and wondering what it would be like if Open Science expanded to include Open Notes (via Hypothesis). It'd save days of reading.

How can we create a culture of organizing annotations and sharing them in a structured way?

becoming a virtuous person just to own the utilitarians

But I think that was misguided. "IP" has a crisp meaning when used by industry: it means, "Any rule or regulation that allows me to control the conduct of my critics, customers or competitors."

Uber's trademark claim was pure IP. There's no chance someone will mistake Samii's app for a ride-hailing tool. But by (ab)using trademark law, Uber got to shut down a critic who documented its illegal conduct. Is it any wonder the corporate world fights so hard for "IP"?
