imho, "data colonialism" is ultimately a much stronger conceptual framework than "surveillance capitalism" for understanding contemporary tech, and it truly is a shame it's gotten only a fraction of the public attention

People who want to make the web accessible need to understand the many different ways that people with disabilities use the web. This W3C resource offers a good introduction to how disabled people navigate the web, and barriers they commonly encounter.

We have discovered a planet. It is a land beyond suffering or torment-- but with birds. Clouds made of helium drift through the skies. I want to find joy there.

i don't wanna say that artists are courageous for being able to post their cringe online and leave it up to be immortalized but also. kinda goes hard. ppl delete their exes from existence after a break up, most of us still have our hetalia fanart floating around

If you pass Humanity's Earth,
Land, buy some local delicacies:
Chocolate, coffee, tea, liquorice.
There are more; ask a Human.
Keep them, until you need
To befriend a Human
Wandering the galaxy
Far from home.
The rumours about Humans are true,
For good or ill
A gift can be invaluable

the publication of posthumous work without the expressed & explicit consent of the author is wrong, and many great works of literature are none of our business; the "well, we don't really know what they wanted" gymnastics people do in order to publish work authors sought to destroy is also wrong.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Very pleased to receive my copy of this new, important volume, in which I offer a brief history of musical platformization in Kenya.
Oh and this book is *open access*! Starting next week you can download a free copy from Luminos — luminosoa.org/books/e/10.1...

You can catch a train to France if you want, but back in the 80s there were hopes you'd be able to drive there too. Meet EuroRoute, the unbelievable plan for a road across the Channel via bridges, a tunnel and two artificial islands. www.roads.org.uk/articles/eur...
