"#Tech companies hate you. Not individually – you’re an insignificant data point in a global #matrix of #profit. But they have dehumanised you, stolen and then sold your #attention back to you, destroyed the #social fabric and perverted the human need for #connection into an infrastructure of pure #alienation. This is what I think whenever I pick up my phone, which I can’t stop doing."

3D Design tool for needy kids, the search continues.
We have old laptops to loan out to kids from poor backgrounds. They don't have internet. 2D design we have covered with #inkscape, and the laptops run #linux well (but not Windows). What I need is a 3D design program. Suggestions welcome.

The importance of a good well-trained teacher can not be over-emphasized. They should be able to, and have time to, spot which students need what kind of tools.
Lets us hope they are not in a #corporatized#school where only #profit is the main goal and that is why they are using #FLOSS software and not because it offers a wide selection of tools and techniques at an affordable price.
Boeing plane returns to airport in Japan after crack found in cockpit window
So, self certification and putting accountants in charge of the company worked out well, did't it Boeing… The odd ‘Max' falling out of the sky, doors flying off mid flight, cracks in the windows….
Any flier had better check what type of aircraft they might be booked on!
Imagine an alien race visits Earth and asks why we’re totally wasting the only planet we have and risking our own future while pushing millions of other species under the bus. Imagine world „leaders“ trying to explain to them full of excitement and fervour what „profit“ is.
