Early morning coding before work work. Sitting here banging my head against the desk trying to figure out problems that are probably taught on day 1 of Databases 101. Being self-taught is so much more fun! 🤣

Is anyone else tinkering with their #homelab and working on #selfhosting as way to distract and numb yourself from the collapse of democracy and the rise of far right lunacy in government happening all around?

Asking for a friend. 😅

Take a look at how this #Mastodon post is rendered in @surf!

From now on, this will be my main Fediverse client because—for the first time ever—I have something that does social discovery on the Fediverse well.

To the point that I’m massively engaging more with other people’s posts.

The 404 Media Podcast is out! This week:
- the TikTok ban and the need for more decentralized social media
- GeoSpy, the AI tool that can geolocate photos for cops (or stalkers) in seconds
- subscribers-only: Nokia's wild design documents

Podcast: TikTok and the Tech Oligarchy

Why it's more important than ever to have decentralized social networks; the geolocation AI tool being marketed to cops; and Nokia's newly discovered archive of whacky ideas.

Today in Labor History January 22, 1849: Terence Powderly, leader of the Knights of Labor, and mayor of Scranton, PA, was born on this date. the KOL attracted and spawned many radicals, including Daniel DeLeon, who went on to cofound the IWW and the Socialist Labor Party. Two of the Haymarket martyrs were also KOL members. The KOL, like its more radical cousin, the IWW, called for the abolition of the wage system. Like the IWW, their slogan was, “An Injury to One is the Concern of All.” And like the IWW, they claimed to fight for all workers, regardless of country, creed, gender or color. However, in reality, the union was xenophobic and racist, particularly toward the Chinese and participated in several anti-Chinese pogroms.

Ljög Ulf Kristersson om vårdköerna? Vi är inga experter – men att "tankesmedjan" Synaps, som står bakom hans påstående, kampanjar för M:s privatiseringspolitik via ombud är utan tvekan lobbyism. Hur mycket de än klär sig i läkarrock.

Synaps – M:s kampanjmaskin i läkarrock

Ljög statsminister Ulf Kristersson riksdagens talarstol med rena påhitt från en av Timbrohögerns lobbygrupper? Det påstår i alla fall socialdemokraterna.
