An easy way to get started is the YouTube channel Ours Poetica[1]. It's kinda like Audible but for poems (and free). Produced in collaboration with The Poetry Foundation.

Re:Show HN: Darken – Darkmode Made Easy on Thursday January 16, 2020 @07:48PM (#22070739)
If you need an extremely quick way to implement dark mode, you can use the darkreader[0] npm package. I set it up for our app in ~30 mins.

The only big downside I've seen so far is performance, but I haven't quantified it yet.

Michael Levin gave a talk about the reprogramming tech used in this around a year ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjD1aLm4Thg
There is a talk [1] I saw about programming our bodies at a higher level than genes. Analogous to editing HDL over physically altering an ASIC.

Yes. They brand it as "Active Edge" if you want a better google keyword.

I think with the power and influence these private companies wield and the huge effects they can have on society, the distinction between the standards we hold gov vs private to is arbitrary and only remain for historical reasons. It doesn't have to be that way just because it always was.

> These people are more than free to express themselves in any public platform or their own platform.

I think we're at a point (or fast approaching it) where these huge platforms are so integrated into our society that perhaps we _should_ consider them public platforms.

>You wouldn't say that a drunk who walked into a nice restaurant yelling hateful things was being censored when they are asked to leave.

I don't think this analogy holds up because of the sheer magnitude of difference in size. These platforms are bigger than most countries. Countries have governments and laws that serve the citizens and keep society running. Imo, the users of these platforms should be treated like citizens of that platform.

I don't want to be a citizen of a dictatorship.
