I am from a generation that thought of the Internet as a place out of space, unrelated to any particular legal jurisdiction. This JPB piece is a classic.
"Digital sovereignty", "data sovereignty", "technology sovereignty" are all related terms:
I've now seen twice the notion insinuating PHP is somehow still a lesser language. Some people are apparently stuck in a 25 year old notion of PHP.
NOBODY can afford this anymore and if this shit of communities doing it to EACH OTHER doesn't stop, you're just making it easy to be destroyed.
So be in freakin' solidarity with each other for a change.
I challenge you to say something good about the language you dislike the most.
I'm so SO tired of this shit since 1999, really.

Yesterday I had the incredible opportunity of giving a presentation for the service numérique of the French Ministry of Culture, as part of their experiment with the Mastodon instance @cercle
My talk: "The Fediverse: the original promise of the internet"
It was super inspiring to listen to all the talks of the participants, from the @palaisdetokyo to @LeMuseum. And the results of the poll by @imacrea were fascinating! I will write more soon. For now: THANK YOU for having me there ❤️
Artist Maarten Baas has created The People's Clock, a timepiece made of people. To create the clock's "workings", Baas recorded more than 1000 volunteers moving as the clock's hands over a 12-hour period. https://kottke.org/26/04/the-peoples-clock
Well, it’s happened. I have been reported by the school staffer about my stopping the meeting the other day to address her and another staffer’s deadnaming a trans student. I “crossed a boundary,” according to the report. They’ve taken me off the graduation ceremony I was set to interpret with a team. The graduation is for students I’ve known for years, some of them since kindergarten.
It is what it is. I’ve asked the agency to contact the school superintendent, as I suspect the order came from that staffer and not the administration, but we shall see.
I do not regret stepping out of my role. Not one bit.
