Hello from the Karlsruhe #OpenStreetMap Hack Weekend!

OK, let's take my first attempt at Ruby on Rails programming. Time to try to add something to the #OpenStreetMap website code base! 🙂

OK, I've managed to muddle my way through Ruby on Rails and I think I've fixed the papercut bug I had, so I've made a pull request. 🤞🏻🙂

You: "What do you mean open source software reeks of elitism and toxicity?"

Arch Linux:

Don't forget the to attribute #OpenStreetMap!

@maiki i've come, at length, to the conclusion that we face two nearly insurmountable problems when we talk about "fixing" the status quo:

a) the web was architecturally compromised almost from the beginning in ways that made its current pathologies almost impossible to mitigate.

b) capitalism.

The most rebellious thing you can do under our current system is to be kind to others

#SurveillanceCapitalism is like the Global Warming of the Information Technology world.

- Most people don't know about it.
- People whose behavior helps it don't want to talk about it.
- A few corporations make ridiculous profits from it.
- No immediate side-effects are felt at an individual level but only over the long run.
- The people who warn about its dangers are dismissed as being paranoid.

Also, surveillance capitalism indirectly helped global warming by getting Trump elected.
