@yukiwarashi not all progressives! but there are a lot of people who describe themselves as &quot;progressives&quot; who worry a lot about attracting the &quot;white working class&quot; and want to soft-pedal issues (like shifting money away from law enforcement) that will scare them off -- and instead focusing on economic anxiety. Just in the short term, of course 🤣 Nothing new, but I certainly saw a lot of it last summer.

@yukiwarashi yes, and the &quot;progressive&quot; equivalents of the white moderates MLK talked about.

@jdp23@indieweb.social @hannu_ikonen @emmalbriant @ubiquity75 Case in point about how some conversations aren&#39;t happening here: @emilymbender &#39;s points about the diversity of people being discussed on a certain podcast, amplified on the other site by @timnitGebru @mmitchell_ai and others. I haven&#39;t seen it mentioned here. And if it did come up here, just imagine the reply-guyism and mansplaining that would ensue!

@stevecheckoway good news though: #16 seems to have gone okay!

An interesing announcement bu @AusSocialMods about CWs -- reflecting the wishes of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people. Worth reading for instance admins and others thinking about CW policies in general! https://aus.social/@AusSocialMods/109703138248943223 [ #MissedQuoteBoost -- the context for why I&#39;m quoting is important, and is best read before the orginal post. But it&#39;s also a subject change, and I don&#39;t want to clutter the discussion there with replie...

@harrisj C code I wrote in the 90s is still being used. FORTRAN is timeless!

@markigra @josh @czimm_economist Useful, thanks! Has anybody looked at demographic distributions on these lists? Social networks often have &quot;rich get richer&quot; dynamics for followers, and so biases in the lists are likely to get magnified and become steadily harder and harder to compensate for.

@anildash Ah yes, the Journal of Emacs and VI Studies

@BlackAzizAnansi yep. And I can see from the other responses I&#39;m not the only one!

@Tbeauchamp ShotSpotter&#39;s own numbers show they change the results 10% of the time was important new information ... they can try to spin it but it clearly highlights that their &quot;97% accuracy&quot; is a lie even with their own numbers. Before this, there wasn&#39;t any info about the frequency. Agreed though it&#39;s not surprising! #StopShotspotter @ben

@elipariser @ubiquity75 I&#39;m sorry to report that while we used to have a huge lead in Edible Arrangement technology but after years of underinvestment, there&#39;s now an Edible Arrangement Gap

@ubiquity75 Well, actually, what you&#39;re not understanding is ... (1/2048) &quot;I&#39;m working on an updated version of &quot;Mastodon, a partial history&quot;. Is it okay I screenshot and link to this?

@aeva @mcc tiny but affluent. are there games that could get a $1K price point from a few thousand people or companies initially? and of course the hope is that hardware prices come down over time so the market grows.
