South African 18-24 years youth think machines will take their jobs, but don’t want to learn to code https://mybroadband.co.za/news/software/253419-south-african-youth-think-machines-will-take-their-jobs-but-dont-want-to-learn-to-code.html

RT @JulianAssange@twitter.com: I have deleted my Facebook.

In fact, I never had one. Friends don't put their friends into a giant intelligence database controlled by a megalomaniac who calls his users "dumb fucks" for trusting him.

Our Medium account has been reinstated.

Thanks to everyone who offered to help with hosting our blog elsewhere. We were already planning to set up our own thing for various reasons (including Medium's complete lack of support for translations). Of course we'll toot a link to our new blog as soon as it's up.

Is Israel's plan to deport 40,000 African refugees racist? https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/insidestory/2018/03/israel-plan-deport-40000-african-refugees-racist-180325174320918.html

While there isn't an official way to link your Mastodon account with Keybase, you can prove your identity manually by signing a message with the Keybase CLI. Then, anyone that meets you via the fediverse can communicate with you securely by verifying your signature. There is a good explanation of how to do this at https://ryanmaynard.co/mastodon-keybase

Nestle lawyers argued in court that water is NOT basic human right and that it should be privatized and sold and it would be wrong not to do so. https://twitter.com/Nestle/status/976742046714261505

Today's lesson: Medium is bad. They've suspended our account and blocked access to all our published stories for bogus reasons and with only 12 hours notice.

Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.

A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."

People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.

Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.
