"#Computers are fantastic for some tasks, but their cultural dominance is entirely misguided. They are fascinating, brilliant, and incredibly powerful. And infinitely interesting. But when they are plugged into large power and cultural systems, then strange things happen. And the violence it results in is really terrifying.”
“Do you see a way out?”
“Yeah, I mean . . . I’m not in the business of saving the world, but it would definitely be a better and more interesting place if more people were involved in making these things. That’s the fundamental thing: that if more software, more buildings, more social spaces, and more everything were designed by more #people, of course it would produce a more interesting and #betterworld! Such an obvious remedy."
Death to the dustbunny!
Yes, small actions such as looking after my environment has a big impact on my life. First, I look after my small flat, then my small town, then the world 
I've been hacked last Monday. A scammer fooled my trust to make me install a malware on my Mac. Which did its malware job. I spent hours changing all my internet passwords and blocking my credit cards when I realized what had happened...
But then I counterattacked : I found the malware program, and analyzed it.
I ran it again inside a debugger (!) and after a long fight I found its embedded encrypted AppleScript script. So now I know what it stole and how it did it. (Quite bad but not as bad as I feared). I even know to which server it sent my data and the userID of the scammer.
How can I contribute to a better world by providing my analysis (the programs, the script, the servers, the process I used) to people who know what to do with it ? Not a company selling anti-malware but a FLOSS community.
Thanks
Great news
A #UniversalBasicIncome study from #SouthAfrica simulated the benefits of income support based on 2017 data. It shows that wider income support for everyone from 18 to 59 - not only those unemployed - would benefit society the most:
"this universal support has the biggest overall impact on poverty and inequality reduction because more South Africans receive income support under this scenario."

If you want a visual representation of where #UniversalBasicIncome projects have been conducted, have a look at this website.
It clearly shows that #UBI is a popular and worthy goal to achieve. 
Please note: the criticism that UBI disincentivizes us to work has been de-bunked.

Because it’s so beautiful and warms my heart.

If only it was that easy.
Let’s be honest: jobs don’t define us. Our #value isn’t tied to #productivity
#UBI isn’t about replacing #work — it’s about replacing fear. Fear of hunger, eviction, medical debt.
When people are #secure they #create #innovate and #thrive 
A #BetterWorld isn’t just possible — it’s necessary.
This world is so beautiful
but
we humans are often not
We live in a world
that is boundlessly beautiful
but also
boundlessly unjust
Even twenty years ago
I couldn't get used to it
and even now
it makes me incredibly angry
but also speechless
how much worse it has become
In a world that's becoming increasingly hostile, when you notice something nice about someone, tell them, let them know. With just a kind word or gesture, you can make that person's day better.
There's so much going on in the world; you kind words can make a difference!

If you have just 5 or $10 to spare… for a small kid in Kenya this makes a world of difference. https://donorbox.org/freshrain4schools
Already more than $740 came in, and the team is beginning the initial implementation to get fresh water to the school. But we are not there yet :-)

Why do so many people still believe everything the super-rich say?
Especially when they say they know how the “normal” and “economically weak” are doing?
This expression alone....
Normal people?
Economically weak?
Oh....
Go fuck yourselves

The beauty
it comes from everywhere
Beauty
can be found everywhere
We capture
and see it should
We should pass it on
and feel the beauty
So that all the ugliness of this world
does not gain the upper hand
