"So, I can’t stress just how much we live in the worst of all possible worlds, and how much of that is a policy choice, right? This is not the great forces of history. We have not had the iron laws of economics make our technology bad. What we had were policy choices made in living memory by named individuals, who were warned at the time that this was going to be the impact of it. They did it anyway. No one is holding them to account."
-- Cory Doctorow, Democracy Now interview, October 10th, 2025 https://www.democracynow.org/2025/10/10/cory_doctorow_part_2 The Raku Study Group November 2, 2025 1pm in California, 9pm in the UK The timing of this one is fun: this is the first day in which the US goes off of daylight savings and clocks get set back an hour, which guarantees some people will show up an hour early, and I'm actually in Seoul right now, which means I'm going on the air at 6 AM on *Monday* (thanks to crossing the dateline). An informal meeting: drop by when you can, show us what you've got, ask and answer questions, or just listen and lurk. Perl and programming in general are fair game, along with Raku, Zoom meeting link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84152895736?pwd=kNH5nyvNSXdwJC3aIut6cBhXw2FTpR.1 Passcode: 4RakuRoll Information about upcoming meetings can always be found here: https://github.com/doomvox/raku-study/blob/main/README.md
