Just installed solar + battery. It's not to save the planet, I've lost faith that's possible. It's to give us a private power supply when things really go to shit.

I was talking specifically about the SWICG. No one has a paid position in the SWICG.

That people earn their living in some way, have a job, are self-employed, receive funding/donations/grants.. well, everyone needs bread on the table, right?

I'd personally not accept funding from Meta, and they are anathema to what fediverse stands for imho.

But that is not the SWICG. It is literally a "community group" where multiple well-known folks from the dev community bring their expertise to, give helping hand with the unthankful chores, very similar to FEP or other ecosystem hotspots.

And collectively we are tasked with bringing fedi to a better place all the time, protect it from harms, and malign corporate influences.

Whether it is ideal or not (I expressed my opinion on this earlier), the W3C as home of the official specs, is part of the ecosystem, and a fractured ecosystem is a weaker one than when it is united and operating as a larger collective.

@brentsimmons Replace “Apple” with any other company and that statement is still true, in case anyone wondered.

@evacide it would be nice to have even a little win once in a while. I can't even read this after that.

Reminder: Apple is not your friend, even with a new CEO. Apple will continue to do some good things and some very bad things. Any feelings of love you have toward Apple is not reciprocated: Apple has no feelings. It’s a multi-trillion dollar company that, like every other corporation, would like your money but does not care about you, or your values, at all.

Web search engines have been getting “better” for people who want quick answers at the cost of getting worse for people who want to learn things. Chatbots accelerated this trend but it predates them.

I’ve been doing “data work” for a while now and I’ve finally learned that wanting quick answers and wanting to learn things are fundamentally in opposition. There are people who only care about quick answers and they’re antipathetic toward learning.

My impression is that they're an insurance organisation rather than a charity and they seem to have a right-leaning bias.

@cbleslie Oh dear! That doesn't bode well for your day :(

@petrikas Seems I can reach it via my German VPN, but not from an Aotearoa New Zealand IP directly.

Es una vergüenza que gente de EEUU, viendo morir a 3.000 de los suyos por la detonación programada de las Torres Gemelas de NY, y además dando el espectáculo con dos drones teledirigidos, todavía se vea como un atentado...

La familia Bush, era la encargada de la seguridad de las Torres dos semanas antes del autoatentado...

De nada...
