@floby@mastodon.social @camertron@ruby.social The term was coopted by the 90s I think. Since "Democratization of Luxury" it was redefined to mean "turn your extraction process to a wider audience". Ferrari (etc) keyrings are accessible to more people, trading brand exclusivity for the possibility to exploit a far larger market than before. I guess brand "democracy" is doing some lifting there too.

admiring the state of some license reports for my silly website

- two versions of ansi-regex, any-promise, argparse
- three versions of ansi-style
- it's all coming from github

package management is impressive and wild

@rachel@norfolk.social bridged accounts tend to be poor citizens - because they’re acting in a different context to where they appear. I’d encourage any candidate (esp those I supported!) to maintain a “real” account on any platform they want to interact on.

@rachel@norfolk.social Oh! I apologise then, I didn't have you in mind saying that :) Fair enough - agree bridging can also be done well, with care, and depends much more on the individuals and interactions! I’ve observed a “speaking when not in the room” offness, like telepresence? Esp when posting but not replying - if already “broadcast mode” poster then less difference. Reflecting that perhaps it's an easy thing for folks to get wrong as it enables broadcast-y behaviours, and I'm being wary of that.
