I haven’t formed my thoughts fully, but I think about this often: running a more ethical, less extractive and capitalist business.

I’ve spent years doing this and what surprised me was the lack of appreciation for “doing things right”. I thought there was a certain audience (often, the indie web one) who would. but mostly what I’ve seen was heavily entrenched capitalism.

@yatil@yatil.social avatar

@fox Also, because capitalistic thoughts are so entrenched in the systems around us, it makes it harder for sustainable businesses. It’s often easier for non-sustainable companies to get loans or government support than it is for sustainable ones.

@woody @fox I know that here in Germany it is tough to get non-profit status and it can be removed at any time for bogus reasons. It’s just a bad system and most banks don’t want to have anything to do with it. (Most non-profits, too.)

That said, I think the bank we use, @glsbank does a lot with non-profits and is themselves a collective.

The organizers of @pycon have given community organizers a massive gift 🎁

Let's not squander it!

A sold out #PyConUS 2024 proved that even large events can prioritize safety and inclusion for caregivers and immunocompromised people by way of requiring masks, and gathering venue data to calibrate their policy from year-to-year. Smaller events have proven it's possible at that scale, too.

Now is the time for at least one other large event to step up.

Who will it be? 👀

Huhu Fediverse,

ich mach's mal konkret: Ich suche ab dem 01.10.2024 eine remote Festanstellung und möchte das Freelancerinnen-Dasein hinter mir lassen.

Ich kann: Digitale Barrierefreiheit von vorne bis hinten, Inklusion bzw. DEI umsetzen, Unterschiedlichste Menschen beraten und schulen, Medieninhalte erstellen und Software entwickeln (PHP + Ökosystem, Python, bereit für was Neues).

Kennt oder hat jemand eine passende Stelle frei? Im Thread sind noch ein paar mehr Infos.

:BoostOK: Danke 💚

@kc Das ist so eine Situation wo ich es bedauere, dass wir nicht in der Situation sind Leute einzustellen. Viel Erfolg! 🍀

Does anyone actually drag and drop files to upload them on a web page? I think the button is much easier to use

yatil,
@yatil@yatil.social avatar

@joelanman I do so, too. But it depends if the drop area feels large enough to make it work. If it is only a small one, I mostly don’t.

That said, on macOS you can drag and drop files onto the native input type="file" which I have done, too.

My goto way of dragging and dropping is via the proxy icon in the window title bar.

The more @upgrade talks about that Siri needs to do Chatbot crap, the less I’m looking forward to iOS 18. I want Siri to know better stuff about my phone and my data, not a bad hallucinating web search, which is what GPT does.

We can have a different web (16min): a beautiful yet sad essay by Molly White on how the web, that once was an open garden where people shared seeds and visited each other’s garden became a wall garden, where algorithms dictate whose flowers you will and will not see. But, it’s not too late to change that. I loved her metaphor!
Also remember the hampster dance ?

Love that we here in Germany are basically prohibited from getting vaccinations, even voluntarily, unless we meet certain condition – mostly age and existing illness.

“You first have to get LongCOVID before we allow you vaccinations to avoid the thing you got” is bad policy. https://zirk.us/@AlexKourvo/112469763159775160

Reminder that new COVID variants might be more effective, even when vaccinated. Watch wastewater data. Take care of yourself. Mask. https://mastodon.social/

We’re now seven episodes into #DoctorWho (2023) and there have been two I already consider all time classics (Wild Blue Yonder and Boom), and none of the others have been duds (although I’ve had problems with some). I like this version of the show!

yatil,
@yatil@yatil.social avatar

@tom I want to agree, but to me it feels very much RTD doing RTD stuff and we already had that. Tennant specials felt a little different, but these four episodes don’t. I really hope it gels together for me as the season progresses.

I am happy that this seems to be a “me” thing and other people are very happy 🙂

The European Parliamentary Elections are during CSS Day so I've just arranged to vote in Amsterdam (with Kiezerspas).

This is an important vote. Collectively we've got to cast a lot of votes on parties that are not extreme right, and (personal opinion) prioritise very ambituous climate policy over nonsensical anti migrant populism.

yatil,
@yatil@yatil.social avatar

@hdv @sarajw The idea is that the election can be on traditional election days in individual countries. I already have my vote-by-mail ballots here (it coincides with 6 local elections, too).

I’m leading a three hour workshop for a client in person. The company is very casual.

My instinct is to wear a suit, but they’re so casual, I worry it could come off weird.

I could do business casual.

I don’t know. Opinions welcome.

yatil,
@yatil@yatil.social avatar

@lexfri I’m so glad that has never really been a consideration for me, mostly because I don’t have a reputation for dressing well. A podcast or metal t-shirt and a hoodie is usually just dressed up enough. If I want do be more formal, I go black jeans, t-shirt and suit jacket (the latter of which I usually get rid of after like hour one).

Be My Eyes has a lot of goodwill in the community – and rightly so. I would also think that exploring how to make their systems better with “AI” recognition makes sense. I have no problem with any of that (as long as it is ethical, affordable, reliable).

But if they participate in producing an advertisement video with “AI” claims that are impossible to verify, then it should be OK to be skeptical about it, especially with the deceiving claims that “AI” companies regularly make.

yatil,
@yatil@yatil.social avatar

@twynn That’s one reason for being skeptical. It just feels too perfect, and I would love to know real-world performance and such.
