Two big problems in #IT that I don't see anyone trying to solve, and very few people even thinking about, let alone talking about:
1. a comprehensive set of #professional #standards regarding the #ethical operation, administration, moderation, and #oversight of public discussion forums.
2. a comprehensive set of professional standards regarding the ethical storage and transmission of personal #data and #information.
I don't think people even understand why these are #problems.
Is anyone else having difficulty posting videos here on Mastodon recently?
It hasn't mattered the size of the video, it just doesn't want to fully process them or allow them to be posted.
Thank you!
I've had my share of "computer nightmares", more so with my very first computer (which was a piece of junk anyway).

@IngridHbn This is good. Moreover most people in the US conflate #Action with #Donation. The problem with #Donation is it is an #Abstraction and few #GetTheirHandsDirty with the real #Solutions and never #Learn about the #Problems
No amount of #technology will ever solve the #problems rooted in #social structures.

A quotation from Ella Wheeler Wilcox
It is easy enough to be pleasant,
When life flows by like a song,
But the man worth while is one who will smile,
When everything goes dead wrong.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) American author, poet, temperance advocate, spiritualist
Poem (1892), “Worth While,” st. 1, An Erring Woman’s Love

Take no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

However, as we have just pointed out, brains which are absorbed in some bit of wisdom, or folly, or, as it often happens, in both at once, are but slowly accessible to the things of actual life. Their own destiny is a far-off thing to them. There results from such concentration a passivity, which, if it were the outcome of reasoning, would resemble philosophy. One declines, descends, trickles away, even crumbles away, and yet is hardly conscious of it one’s self. It always ends, it is true, in an awakening, but the awakening is tardy. In the meantime, it seems as though we held ourselves neutral in the game which is going on between our happiness and our unhappiness. We are the stake, and we look on at the game with indifference.
[Du reste, comme nous venons de l’indiquer, les cerveaux absorbés dans une sagesse, ou dans une folie, ou, ce qui arrive souvent, dans les deux à la fois, ne sont que très lentement perméables aux choses de la vie. Leur propre destin leur est lointain. Il résulte de ces concentrations-là une passivité qui, si elle était raisonnée, ressemblerait à la philosophie. On décline, on descend, on s’écoule, on s’écroule même, sans trop s’en apercevoir. Cela finit toujours, il est vrai, par un réveil, mais tardif. En attendant, il semble qu’on soit neutre dans le jeu qui se joue entre notre bonheur et notre malheur. On est l’enjeu, et l’on regarde la partie avec indifférence.]

I've been having #problems with 2 of my controllers, wasn't quite sure where the problem existed,...
this site saved me! amazing site to test all the inputs from your controllers.. plug and play on linux with no extras needed.
correctly identified my 2 controllers, a simple ps4 controller, and a #8bitdo #nes theme #snes layout(ish). now i know where to focus on the teardown ^>^
I know the phrase '1st word problem' is a bit of a laff, but this is really scraping the barrel. But then the Gruaniad has become a haven for otherewise ignored 'writers' who otherwise would not be able to afford their baguettes. If it was satire I might appreciate it, but it does not even have the depth, subtelty, imagination or skill to be that.

the priority of 99% of politicians is 1. #power 2. #money 3. anything else :(
the #wellbeing of #nations HIGHLY depends on a #intelligent #smart #decisions that SOLVES #problems and not creates MORE PROBLEMS:
how to #reform #democracy? how are we going to change this?
first attempt v1.0: (please first say what is good then write what is bad or even better: publish ur own proposal)
massive reform of "representative (lobby and money driven) democracy":
0. a list of aims, targets, challenges, problems to be solved needs to be defined, leaders will be judged by their performance of solving those problems in the most constructive, peaceful, timely and intelligent way
1. make a pool of qualified people (show that candidate is qualified: +expert in the area of most pressing issues + free of any crimes + moral compass + smart as possible + good organizational and + problem solving skills)
2. no more parties, if an issue is very important like: should we go to war with countryX ALL citizens have to vote
3. only from this pool 5 experts "TheCoreTeam" are elected by the population, but only those citizens who have also proven to be able to think critical and think for themselves are allowed to vote
4. this 5 elected experts can then assemble "AssistantTeam" ("ATeam") of max 50 people (as many as fit at one table) that supports them solving the problems defined under 0., "CoreTeam" has to check if candidates are profficient and qualified for the tasks assigned
5. during the 10 year term "theCoreTeam" can swap in and out "ATeam" members but have to give reasonable answers for the change
6. daily performance measurements by a RANDOMLY selected group of 50% experts and 50% randomly chosen citizens will make it transparent to the public if the government is making progress or not, working for the 99% of people as intended if not citizens are free to protest and make proposals to change
7. any financial contributions "donations" to any member of "CoreTeam" or "ATeam" is punishable by 10 years in prison + lobbying + meeting behind closed doors with lobbyists shall also be punished by 10 years in prison
8. after their term "CoreTeam" and "ATeam" members will not be allowed to take a jobs in the private industry for 10 years, they will get their normal sallary for another 10 years paid by the gov
