Unfinished business

"A shameful death after a supermarket scuffle shines a light on Australia’s unfinished business. From compensation for the Stolen Generations to Indigenous recognition, Australia must follow words with actions."

"There is unfinished business in this country, and there can be no excuses for not knowing or understanding. We need to change direction and remove the burden from the most vulnerable."

"In a land of home improvers surely the principle of fixing the foundations first if you want to really close the gaps is obvious."

#OpenSource #Foundations Considered Helpful
The "rug pull" here refers to companies that have used open source as a distribution mechanism, building a community and user base, before changing the license to be restricted. "This is #capitalism, yo. We've got #shareholders to satisfy. It's time to r#elicense that software, move to a #BusinessSource #license." [...] Where open source used to be a sustainable commitment, today too often it feels like a short term tactic. redmonk.com/jgovernor/2024/09/

IN-DEPTH: For clean beauty brands, getting #PFAS out of #makeup might be easier said than done

“Even the most well-intentioned brands could experience PFAS problems.”

Elizabeth Gribkoff
Mar 24, 2022

"The [PFAS] compounds can be added to makeup to make products #WaterResistant, longer-lasting, and more spreadable. Until last year, there were no studies looking at how much PFAS were in North American cosmetics, although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is notoriously hands-off in regulating the safety of personal care products. With that in mind, a team of researchers from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana University, and other institutions tested more than 200 #mascaras, #concealers, #EyeShadows, and other cosmetics from North America.

"What they found surprised the researchers: roughly half the products they tested contained the PFAS indicator organic fluorine. Colored #lipsticks, mascaras, and #foundations advertised as '#LongLasting' or '#WearResistant' had particularly high levels."
