Do you drink cow #milk , or consume other #dairy products? 🥛🧀🧈
Watch this YouTube #video to know more about the #environmental impact and #ethical considerations of cow milk – compared to #plantbased alternatives! youtu.be/GfiZ026XkZk?si=jucFSK

If you care about our planet and have some ethics, there's no argument to continue consuming dairy products. Ideally we would stop❌ consuming dairy products completely – but maybe you can at least reduce your milk and dairy consumption? 📉 That's what I'm doing.

#HotsuBodaishin, arousing the mind of #awakening, marks the #Mahāyāna Buddhist vow to seek #enlightenment for all beings. In #Zen, this aspiration is continually renewed, integrating #wisdom and compassion as a relational, #ethical practice — distinguishing it from individualistic paths. Here, we briefly explore its significance in Zen #philosophy and practice, emphasizing its role in cultivating a compassionate, engaged presence in the world.

#Purism applauds #EU regulations:

"As an organization who has spent over a decade at the intersection of enterprise systems, #privacy-first innovation, and #ethical tech, we see these developments as overdue—and transformative. The EU is setting a precedent that other regions will likely follow. If you’re building digital products, now is the time to audit your design choices, data practices, and #AI pipelines.

Because #fairness isn’t just a feature—it’s the future."

@SceNtriC Thanks for your comprehensive and respectful reply! I fully agree — encouraging financial education and lowering the fear barrier for #investing is crucial. And I appreciate that your article targets beginners in a non-ideological way.

However, I’d like to add another layer to the discussion — maybe for “next-level beginners” 😉 — that investment is never completely neutral or purely technical. How and where we put our #money is also a #political and #ethical act that influences the world around us. Investments don't just shape our personal future—they also shape which companies, sectors, and ideas flourish in #society as a whole.

A few points I see as essential:

In #Zen #Buddhism, the student-teacher relationship centers on direct transmission of insight, transcending conventional instruction. Through encounter, challenge, and "mind-to-mind transmission", awakening is fostered. #Ethical integrity and self-practice remain vital themes even in modern contexts. I tried to summarize the essence of this unique bond in my latest blog post:

Did #Christianity Make the World More #Moral?

youtube.com/watch?v=DA6FeavzG8c

Were #pagan societies really a hotbed of #immorality before #Jesus came on the scene? Did Christianity single-handedly revolutionize #ethical thought?
Dr. Bart Ehrman, drawing from the research behind his upcoming book, joins Megan Lewis to investigate the widely held notion that Jesus introduced a transformative #morality to an otherwise #savage and #selfindulgent world.

At the @w3c meeting in April 2025, co-chairs @torgo and @jyasskin gave an overview of @tag 's ongoing and new work. After the publication of two W3C statements -- the #ethical web principles and the #privacy guidelines --, the TAG is notably working on an "explainer explainer" and new findings, such as a finding on #AI. The group has also started a "TAG Associates program" to include external experts in their work.

[a very well-written article with a favorable yet realistic angle on the #Fediverse]

"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called #ActivityPub."
