John Rawls' "Veil of Ignorance" is still one of the most intriguing though experiments to me:

"Suppose that you and a group of people had to decide on the principles that would establish a new society.

However, none of you know anything about who you will be in that society. Elements such as your race, income level, sex, gender, religion, and personal preferences are all unknown to you.

After you decide on those principles, you will then be turned out into the society you established."

So, what are we about? 23 orgas, over 13.000 people and counting.

We're simply worried about the massive deployment of biometric surveillance tech such as facial recognition cams. It's secretive, it's unlawful, it's inhumane.

We are calling for a BAN on biometric mass surveillance. In February 2021 we are launching an ECI (European Citizen Initiative) aimed at the European Commission.

Since we’re bashing linguistics today:

The more I learn about linguistics the more baffled I become that "at least one sign language" isn't a mandatory subject for all linguists from, like, undergrad year 1, and all skill paths like phon/phon, morphology, prag etc. aren't studied from the start using both sign and voice as first-class objects of study for contrast and comparison.

I mean I maintain that
widespread acquisition of sign languages by children of the general population – the way Australian Aboriginal and other peoples did it – would have a ton of advantages not just for inclusion, which would already be worthy the effort ofc, but for everybody else too; but, come on, us linguists? There's 2 fundamental types of human language and we base all our models and conclusions on 1?

It's as if you're training chemists and on first semester somebody briefly flashes them a periodic table for a minute and says "yeah so there are 3 types of elements, metals, metalloids and nonmetals. From now on we're going to focus on metals." And most of them, for their whole career, never think about silicon or sulphur again. They try to learn everything about bonding and reactions and molecule structure etc. using metals as the sole subject 99% of the time. Sometimes somebody who took the 8th-semester optional subject "General Introduction to the Most Common Nonmetal In This Area I" (where they do a crash run over reactions, molecules etc. now with 1 single nonmetal added into the mix) will point out "oh, actually hydrogen does not behave like that", then everybody else gets annoyed at this arrogant interrupty person who keeps bringing these weird nonmetal complications into the stuff they're already finding it hard to follow with metals only.

Putting my effort where my mouth is and my hand will soon be: anybody wants to learn Deutsche Gebärdensprache with me please send a note, I'm serious o/ maybe we could start with fingerspelling over jitsi or s/t :)

I don't understand why people find DNS so difficult, it’s just cache invalidation and naming things

Feeling very Seen right now. I still choose search terms like it's 2010. http://www.threepanelsoul.com/comic/old-ways

Immer wieder, wenn ich an einen meiner Lieblings-Action-Filme denke, meine ich, man müsste Sylvester Stallone zum Botschafter für Grundrechte- und Datenschutz machen 😈

Hallo, ich bin hier neu auf dieser Plattform, da ich eine Alternative zu Facebook suche. Ich bin Künstler und Arbeite eigentlich auf Mittelaltermärkten. Gibt es denn hier irgendwelche #Mittelallter interessierte?

The robot's study of the festival was interrupted by a smiling person.
"Hey, join in! Don't you know how to dance?"
"My library has hundreds of dances, but not-"
"No! Feel the music, move how you feel."
Hours later, battery nearly depleted, the robot stopped, happy.
"I know now."

Äh, vor ein paar Stunden hat Ansible meine dummerweise von Hand eingetragene CORS-Policy überschrieben... aber jetzt geht die #rc3-World wieder!
https://play.workadventu.re/_/global/rc3world-static.morph.sh/lobby.maps.at.rc3.world/main.json

Ich hab die #rC3-World wieder zum Laufen gekriegt. Es gibt sogar Jitsi 🎉

Does anyone have the rC3 workadventure running and working? not necessarily with the jisti/websocket background; just wanting to go through it again.
