A quotation from Douglas Adams
The villagers sold us some [coconuts] and split them open for us. They are almost perfectly designed. You first make a hole and drink the milk, and then you split open the nut with a machete and slice off a segment of the shell, which forms a perfect implement for scooping out the coconut flesh inside. What makes you wonder about the nature of this god character is that he creates something that is so perfectly designed to be of benefit to human beings and then hangs it twenty feet above their heads on a tree with no branches.
Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter

#WordPress is discovering that having a #Benevolent #Dictator for #Life is not such a good idea and that a more community-driven model shold be probably the way to go🫂🧑🤝🧑👫👭👬
We (Javier Luis Cánovas Izquierdo and yours truly) have been advocating for a more #transparent and explicit #governance of #opensource projects.
In particular, we argue that each project should include a governance.md file with this information. So that, contributors (but also users) can have this info into account before deciding to invest their time in the project.
We also argue that this governance should be #democratic but this is a discussion up to each project.
More details of our proposal:

"(gets annoyed at random people online misusing the word #hyperfixation) Surely the #answer to this is to always defer to the #authority of the all powerful all knowing #benevolent #prejudice #free #psychiatric #industry. otherwise seeking #help and #community is wrong"

In #Singapore - #activists walk a fine line. Just the word “activist” arouses a certain degree of discomfort. Activists are rarely seen as #benevolent #agitators for a better future. They are regarded as troublemakers.
Kate Yeo is a #Singaporean #climate #campaigner who is instinctively aware of all the sensitivities of engaging in #activism in the conservative state.
