Fantastic conversation between @eff and @superwuster, particularly around 13 mins with the discussion about how many tech startups have been naive about their own pure intentions holding out when the market forces roll in.

Elsewhere, @pluralistic has mentioned the importance of the Ulysses Pact - using the initial moment of strength to set up structures to prevent your business from making bad decisions in future moments of weakness.

For the first time in history, Mexico has elected a female president. Claudia Sheinbaum has been the governor of Mexico City until 2023, she is from a Jewish family but secular, and tough on crime.

Congratulations Mexico! 🇲🇽

@randahl genial!

I was living in Mexico City when AMLO was elected.
That was interesting..

Once again: folks should probably consider switching to Firefox. Especially if you, I don't know, rely on ad-blocking to navigate our glutted-as-shit modern internet, for instance?

@glassbottommeg I recently found out that Firefox has telemetry on by default + sells data to Leanplum..

I'm currently testing Librewolf and Waterfox as privacy-focused forks, and happy with them so far.
