@cdarwin@c.imA court in Russia on Thursday convicted a pro-war activist and critic of Vladimir Putin of
justifying terrorism and sentenced him to six years in prison.
Sergei Udaltsov, the leader of the Left Front movement that opposes Putin and is affiliated with the Communist party, was arrested last year.
According to Russian independent news site Mediazona, the charges against him stem from an article Udaltsov posted online in support of another group of Russian activists accused of …

@brichapman@mastodon.socialIn my journey as a climate activist, I've grappled with the contradictions of my lifestyle. I consume meat, I fly on planes, yet I advocate for sustainable practices.
For a while, I felt like a hypocrite. But, I've realized that the climate movement doesn't need to be a space of perfection, but a space for ordinary humans with their contradictions.
Can we be climate activists while still having contradictions in our lives?

The author (Edmund Berkeley) is the co-founder of the ACM (I’m a member), he definitely did some other good stuff like being a peace activist and coming up with concepts that highly influenced the personal computer revolution 25–30 years after the book was published.
But the extreme toxic positivity about computers that “will solve all social problems” because “humans are so irrational” remains a huge problem with AI stans since the late 1940s.
