The more Mastodon servers there, are, the better. The more spread out people are across them, the more the network is resilient to various failure modes.
The basic premise of Mastodon is that you follow your friends from different servers! So go forth, and explore the fediverse ☺️

I released a new version of my Firefox extension that will forcefully redirect you away from privacy erosive services to better alternatives. It started as a joke, but I end up actually using it.
When I want to look up a place, I instinctively and mechanically start typing "maps.googl...". This extension will instead take me to OpenStreetMaps. It will also functionally translate Google Search links to DuckDuckGo and Google Translate links to Deepl.

I''m rewriting my own code and HOLY FUCK, I'M REALIZING I'M A GOOD PROGRAMMER.
This code has some crazy details!
I'm proud of myself.

It wasn't about money or power.
There was great personal risk and loss.
And yet, he did the Captain America, stood like a tree beside the river of truth and said "no, you move."

I think my finest achievement is that a small town I worked for adopted a mandatory rental inspection ordinance I wrote. Basic premise is that the house has to pass a city inspection between every new lease before it can be leased again.
It's a rural Texas town, and they straight up smashed landlords because the Council was tired of tenants being abused. One of the happiest nights of my admittedly young career.

@pettter Maybe, but a thread highlighting some of the things I found particularly interesting is a good idea. Doesn’t mean they will or won’t make it into the conference (my views alone don’t decide that of course!) but it could be valuable to others to see these.
Still, it’s bedtime for me so that will have to wait...

I am serving on the program committee for the Creative Commons Global Summit in Lisbon in May 2019. Reading many proposals for the conference right now. Best part is learning about all the really cool open edu, open science, openly licensed creative and other works, and similar projects around the world I had no idea existed!

There is no such thing as natural poverty.
Any instance of people not getting their basic needs met is a completely artificial creation.
There is more than enough to go around for everyone to not suffer. Anyone who says there isn't is a straight up liar.
