This research on what people think about a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) is all well and good, but can someone just push the button and get it started? 👇🔘

It's popular. It's the right thing to do. And it's been standard in many of our fellow European countries for more than a generation.

Come on #WelshGovernment, enough procrastination. What does #ClimateEmergency and the Sixth Mass Extinction mean if not doing things differently?!

On this day, December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat, on the bus, to a white person.

Specifically, her arrest was for civil disobedience in violating Alabama's segregation laws.

I think the three R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) are missing a critical fourth R. (Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle)

On the Nonbinary Wiki, the lists of gender neutral names are still in progress, but they're already huge, and already bigger than any other list of them that you can find in any book or site.

Even just the list of neutral names starting with the letter A is complete with more than 300 such names: https://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Neutral_names_starting_with_A

The lists of names starting with A, B, C, D, H, Q, U, W, X, & Z are all filled out with definitions and sources. The other ones just have lists of names, and still need to be filled out with the definitions and sources. That's easy, but tedious, because there are hundreds of names. If you want to help, all you have to do is Google some names to find a baby name site that shows that it is indeed a neutral name. Then write the name's definition and source into the wiki article, following the same format as the other entries. Make sure it matches, so it looks nice, and that you fact-check it, since some baby name sites include dubious info.

I've written about Toot.Wales, and why (and how) Wales could lead the way in 'safe' social media 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👁️‍🗨️✊👏🙌

A huge thankyou to @jaz for the vision. He has opened my mind to a world of possibility 💞💓💗

I'm looking for a #voice #assistant that is:

* #OpenSource
* Compatible with #SelfHosting
* Doesn't send private data to third parties
* Doesn't require an account with a third party

Sadly #Mycroft fails, both by forcing the use of an identifying account and then sending data to third parties (read the privacy policy).

Is there a #privacy friendly #FOSS alternative though? The only thing I've found is Susi.ai but I haven't looked into its privacy policy yet. It's FOSS though.
