Leaflet was created 11 years ago by Volodymyr Agafonkin, a Ukrainian citizen living in Kyiv.

Volodymyr is no longer in Kyiv, because Russian bombs are falling over the city. His family, his friends, his neighbours, thousands and thousands of absolutely wonderful people, are either seeking refuge or fighting for their lives.

Friendly reminder to approach new things with curiosity rather than resentment.

It’s a whole lot nicer to live that way. 🕊

在B站活动 又或者说决定在互联网（社交网络）活动的两年里，我最大的收获与反思就是保持open- minded.

这样讲源于我发现我很喜欢同十四到十六岁的孩子相处，因为Ta们对世界对自己还保有充足的好奇心，愿意了解，愿意改变，愿意尝试。然而成年之后，不限于谱系或非谱系，就是广义的成年，许多人的思维会固化，甚至形成一种傲慢疯癫麻木的形态。

如不是为分享一些内容一些自己的声音一些自己的观点，我会一直生活在自己非常固定非常局限非常狭小的世界，而这只会令我更傲慢更封闭，甚至走向某种极端。但因这样的尝试，我总会提醒自己：

我知道我已形成很厚的盔甲，我的内心本质上很难被真正进入，但我依旧要努力向open-mind靠近，即便无法突破，仅是不断靠近，也就足够。

Unity (former game engine company) has merged with an actual adware and malware distribution company. That's not an exaggeration. Fake Flash installers, was blacklisted by Microsoft's anti-malware tool, VirusTotal entires, that kind of thing.

Don't build your games on engines you don't have the source code to.

“'Chinese people love watching how other places are not as good as China,' Cheng told Rest of World, arguing that he had portrayed Africa in a truthful way. 'If you film some advanced stuff here, people might not like watching. They would rather see lives that are worse than their own.'”

Chatterbox: Matrix-based end-to-end encrypted embedded chat (Element)

尘埃落定了！和领导最后的谈话中被告知，有好几位家长共同举报了我，其中一位态度激烈，因为他家小孩“思想已经彻底被心理老师转化了，变得黑白颠倒，天天说教育制度有问题，社会有问题，还用老师教的东西来反抗家长”，最后家长要求禁止我再和学生接触，我必须悄无声息地离开，连道别也不被允许，因为担心“学生得知你辞职会对父母有情绪”。怎么讲，有这样的结果，我觉得自己这一年的老师做得还不错！

Can you imagine how tooth-grindingly boring an 18 year old you’d have to be to idolize the Rand Corporation

This comes off more as a threat than anything else.

Folks, you might want to block @FediTips@bungle.online so people don’t get confused as it’s a parody account but is refusing to mark itself as such.

The original account, @feditips@mstdn.social, does great work in sharing information about the fediverse and I’d hate to see it negatively impacted in any way by this.

If you are parodying another fediverse account, don’t be a douchebag and mark your account as a parody.

@meganeko @Corina @ljwrites this reminds me of a study I read about once. Two people would play monopoly; one would be given a very small amount of play money, while the other player would be given a very large amount of starting money. Both participants were aware of the inequality of the starting cash amount. Invariably, the one who started with a ton of money won. During post game interviews, all (or at least most, not 100% sure on this point) of the players who had the most starting money and won credited their skill and strategies as the reason for winning and never credited their unfair starting advantage as the reason they won.

You’re not a bad person for buying something from Amazon or Walmart, even though those are awful companies

You’re not “supporting evil” by using GitHub or Gmail, even though it enriches MS and Google

You’re not awful for streaming a Harry Potter movie, even though JKR is a bigoted turd

Sure, if you have better options, I encourage you to use them. I’ll even recommend some! But you’re not bad; you’re not “supporting” the bad things those people and orgs do; you’re just trying to live through this plutocratic hellscape
