Not linking directly because I don't want to shit on projects I believe are genuinely trying to make the web better, but every time I see a post about "the small web" or a more "humane" web or whatever that includes phrases like this about content: "created without the motivation of financial gain" I sigh so deeply lol

I am begging ethical web enthusiasts to understand what an extreme privilege it is to spend time working on something without worrying about money

Feminist org in Singapore is looking for volunteers who can speak and transcribe Vietnamese.

They’re doing a study on coercive control. Singapore has a large trans-national marriage rate, largely between citizen men and non-citizen wives from countries like Vietnam.

There are only ~40 million Black people in the US. Population similar to Lagos state in Nigeria (the tiny red part).

There are ~250 million US white folk (~220 non-Hispanic white + ~30 million Hispanic white).

So Biden's "missing" 10% of Black men, is fewer than 2 million. Or less than 1% of white US population.🤡

White voters don't face the massive systemic voter suppression that Black voters do. So increasing white dem turnout is much easier.

So if your boy doesn't win, blame yourselves.

Peel Road @ Kuala Lumpur, famous for its chinese-style nasi lemak shop but the whole street is filled with great food options. The kopitiam occupying the corner shop is fully halal/muslim-friendly and hosts a good selection of Malay, chinese and Indian food stalls.

A closer look at the corner shop, revealing many stalls operating inside a restaurant, with stall owners preparing food and washing dishes. The old building has old and tattered wooden window panes. On the rooftop, someone has grown various ornamental plants and small trees.

If you're Muslim or have acquaintances who are, I found a pretty good halal ramen place in Ikebukuro called Toribushi. Certified, and all chicken. Would probably satisfy kosher, too. If you're in north-central-west Tokyo, give it a try!

Does #Microsoft #Word no longer allows people to open .ODT files? Have, a few times, had to safe .ODT files as .DOCX via LibreOffice so that Word users could open it.

.ODT is an open source file format, so its a deliberate choice for Word to not be compatible.

Why do people pay for a shitty product that lacks such basic functionality?
