why aren't indie record labels nonprofits? they barely pay their operators' salaries anyway, and if they were nonprofits then paying them could be tax deductions.

Google has suspended Element (@matrix) from the Play Store for "Sexual Content and Profanity". Basically same story as with Subway Tooter a while back. Element is to Matrix as Chrome is to the web. Curiously, Chrome is still on the Play Store.

The Great Man theory of social progress or art or anything is inherently colonialist and supports kyrarchy. It's a persistent idea in western culture and apparently nothing in a typical CS education ever challenges this. Computers are either invented by a series of great men or they exist in some sort of end-of-history eternal present. RMS is a great man. Therefore any toxicity in his actions is overlookable and toxicity in his defenders is at worst just over exuberance or at best necessary and therefore good.

I'm picking on CS here, but its hardly unique. I've been teaching a course this year that specifically invokes this model of history in the official design documents.

> While H&M's physical stores in China remain, it is no longer possible to hail a taxi to the shops using an app and consumers can't shop online. Instead China is championing local brands.

this is coming soon to the USA.

at some point the term "exponential" entered the popular usage to refer to a single very large increase over a single previous value, an increase of which cannot by definition be exponential (because you can't define a curve with two points).

it's even in the nyt, which i believe is supposed to have people whose actual primary job it is to not let bullshit like that out the door.

i believe that there is an ongoing reduction in reading comprehension in the US, perhaps the world.

reminder: the US has $400 billion USD to pay defense contractors for a vaporware fighter plane (2.3x bezos' net worth, and more than bezos+musk's net worths put together), but doesn't have enough space (in texas, lol) to hold unaccompanied children, so they have decided to break the law and hold them beyond the legal limit in concentration camps.

The moral of Frankenstein is that if you make a monster you should give it a cool name because otherwise people will just use your name for the monster instead.
