Good points on how to federate #socialmedia using the #fediverse

"#Platforms should be fast, scalable, easy to port should I need to switch platforms/servers. Popularity is a concern but that doesn't mean you have to
compromise for data mining monsters like #TikTok or #Facebook, because everyone’s using it”

"Todo parece indicar que esta epidemia representa una ocasión ideal para justificar la recesión económica capitalista que se acerca.
El #coronavirus no es el único responsable de las caídas en las bolsas, como se dice, ni de una economía capitalista desacelerada, con las ganancias de las corporaciones y la inversión industrial estancadas, sino que es la chispa de una crisis económica pospuesta donde la mala salud de la economía es muy anterior a la #pandemia."

"Em nosso mundo tão secular, é muito difícil ter devoção sem credo. A #Musica não é um sistema de crenças, mas faz ressoar este tipo de amor: o amor ao sublime, ao sagrado, ao mais profundo da existência, esta mirada ao mais alto."

The high price of machine #ventilators forces many hospitals in the poorest regions of the world to rely on a simple solution known as an Ambu Bag that requires constant manual pressure in order to get oxygen to the lungs.

The #Umbulizer (image) is a mechanically powered version of the #AmbuBag.

At the time of writing, 10 patients are accompanied in breathing by a machine that uses a #3Dprinted valve. As the #coronavirus spread worldwide and breaks supply chains, 3D printers – through people’s ingenuity and design abilities – can lend a hand.

Hospitals may have a right to produce these parts in an emergency (as in this case) but, in order to legally obtain a 3D printable STL file, the hospital that requires the parts needs to present an official request.

Tracked data is on #Nextstrain, an #opensource effort to 'harness the scientific and public health potential of #pathogen #genomedata.'

#COVIDー19 is the 1st outbreak in which a germ’s evolution and spread have been tracked in so much detail, and almost in real time.

"a transition, from the #Biden vision of #electability, to a Sanders vision, an #antiestablishment vision...
from thinking that the candidate has to appeal to moderate republicans, to embracing the Sanders framework of motivating a coalition cross section of voters across races and generations.

And doing that, it takes Bernie Sanders from being the least electable candidate, to the only one who can build that kind of coalition."

"We’re not just in our separate #filterbubbles anymore. The bubbles have burst. The space between is now filled with anxiety, fear, and even hate… We can’t heal these divisions through the #medium that helped cause them. We must come together #facetoface, and with more intensity than we pursue #lifeonline."

The Republican lobbyist who now runs Facebook's DC office argued against removing fake news pages on the grounds that that would "disproportionately affect #conservatives" who "don’t believe it to be #fakenews".

O lobista republicano que agora dirige o escritório do #Facebook em Washington argumentou contra a remoção de páginas de notícias falsas, alegando que isso "afetaria desproporcionalmente os conservadores" que "não acreditam que sejam notícias falsas".

"#SurveillanceCapitalism hijacked the digital medium… American lawmakers have been reluctant [to act]. One reason is an unwritten policy of #SurveillanceExceptionalism forged after the 9/11—the shift from online #privacy to “total information awareness".

#youth movements in 2019 differs from 1968.
1) the key figures are young women, not men
2) they are arguing for a change in consciousness, not just in ideology…
3) they are collaborating with earlier generations
4) they are using tech in intentional new ways.

"if we send our [#museum] audiences to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or YouTube to consume our content, are we in essence... lending our own institutional reputations to burnish the #credibility and trustedness of these #platforms?"

"#Mindfulness has been repackaged as a novel #psychotherapy, marketed as #selfhelp, to reinforce the notion that spiritual practices are an individual’s private concern.
..a programme to destroy collective structures that may impede the pure #market logic.”
