Hackers On Planet Earth 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

At @jawncon.bsky.social this weekend 🤫

HOPE 26 VIDEOS RELEASED! Plus we found some t-shirts... www.2600.com/content/hope...

When the enshittification of the agrifood system is so epic it needs its own word to reflect its vile practices and true costs to public health, the planet, and society. Thanks to @hope.net for the stage to debut this phrase live after 2 years in the making, and to @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy!

While we are busy preparing the conference videos for release on Youtube, we wanted to share this behind-the-scenes tidbit: Due to a bunch of unforeseen circumstances, in order to bring fast internet to HOPE 26 attendees, we had to manually run fiber-optic cable down 17 flights of stairs. #hope26

was very proud to sponsor @hope.net and had a great time running our booth over the weekend! Also particularly enjoyed the atproto-adjacent talks from @phill.hallambaker.com (schedule.hope.net/hope26/talk/...) and @permadeath.com 😎

“We could not fight, and lose. Or we could fight and may lose. I know what side I’m on.” And “Remember: the good guys throw better parties.” My kind of hope at @hope.net from Cindy Cohn of the @eff.org
