What would worker-owned delivery platforms look like?
Our new piece by @YuhanLiu @varunrao @sohw @cyberlyra @andresmh introduces OpenCourier — an open protocol for interoperable, worker-owned delivery platforms.
Thanks to @platformcoop for amplifying it!

People have been sharing that "Programming Still Sucks" article, and while I appreciate that it's well written and funny and makes some good points, overall I don't care for it.
Because it perpetuates the myth that *software development only happens* within corporate capitalist settings. And it's simply not true, nor should it be true.
Programmers can come from all walks of life, and express themselves *joyfully* through the art of software in many local/small biz or non-capitalist settings.
@jaredwhite but Jared, how do you plan to scale from PROMPT to IPO with that attitude?
A browser game where you explore a large, infinite world, and look for items to collect.
Thanks, yes. I found the footnote and various other versions of the quote, but can't track down the original. Harry Price has the earliest version of the quotation I can lay hands on.
I suspect it originally came from the Anglican weekly Guardian, since it's nowhere in the July 25 1941 edition of the then-Manchester Guardian. It seems to have been handed down though various forms of commentary since Price quoted it.
#Trump demands gratitude in DC. So he put up banners thanking himself.
Signs appearing around the capital twist appreciation & patriotism into an authoritarian knot.

A new study in The Lancet shows that the rate of fake citations increased more than 12x between Jan 2023 and Feb 2026.

@Em0nM4stodon Don't say that too loud or someone will suggest an AI to "help you" write.
@rossmadness Oh no please no :no_ai:
I mean, unless the AI is somehow magically depositing a living wage in my bank account. Cause that's what would help me write.
En Dordogne, un renard mal-aimé… et des initiatives pour enrayer le massacre
Plus de 500 000 renards sont tués en France chaque année. Parce qu’il figure sur la liste des espèces « susceptibles d’occasionner des dégâts », l’animal est en danger en permanence. Cette réglementation, en cours de réévaluation, est vivement contestée. Notamment en Dordogne, où des personnes s’engagent pour préserver le goupil.
@catsalad @Em0nM4stodon literally a critical hire.

Hey #asstodon lovers. My friend and artist extraordinaire @SabiLewSounds needs our help today. She’s the one who made this lovely line drawing of our donkeys for my elderly mom to color. Mom loved it and so did a lot of you. Your small help means a lot to her, to her family, and to me. Thank youuu!
@impermanen_ 🫂 tysm for this

I love Em's writing! Someone hire @Em0nM4stodon, please!
I need to write again. I have so many ideas. But there are so many steps for me to complete before I can write again.
It would be much faster for me to write again if someone just hired me so that I could write for them. Just saying.
Thanks, yes. I found the footnote and various other versions of the quote, but can't track down the original. Harry Price has the earliest version of the quotation I can lay hands on.

Ich suche (audio) podcasts auf Deutsch, die über Technologie, Sprachen, Fahrräder, und so sein. Die Nachrichten finde ich zu schwer, zu hören. Ich höre lieber Geschichte über Dinge, die sich die Leute freuen. Zusammen, habt ihr Empfehlungen?
Hi,
- "Code for Thought" (https://codeforthought.buzzsprout.com/) hat auch deutschsprachige Episoden (neben Englisch und Französisch)
- "Computer und Kommunikation" vom Deutschlandfunk (so etwas Ähnliches wie NPR) ist auch ausgezeichnet.
- "Raumzeit" erscheint nicht oft, ist aber gut zu hören
Da du auch Niederländisch als Sprache aufzählst: den "Scientiast" Podcast von @scientias kann ich empfehlen! Umgekehrt: Wenn du einen guten italienischen Podcast zu technischen Themen weißt, wäre ich interessiert. 😉
Podcasts zu Sprachen und Fahrrädern habe ich nicht abonniert. Die genannten kann dein Podcatcher bestimmt finden.

“‘AI’ might not be good for xyz, but you can’t deny that it’s helpful for programming” -- sound familiar? On the next Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000, @alex and I will be digging into that bullshit. Join us for the livestream:

@emilymbender @alex the issue that is the most obvious is that, even if a good result is obtained, we will have no method of validating the results in any way other than 'seems to be working' or 'seems to be improved'.
I think I'm going to read your article.
