danieldiazmusicMinotaur's Run (with Coraline Ada Ehmke)From disquiet's junto project 0697 (may 2025 https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0697-first-third/) I took Coraline Ada Ehmke's track
https://soundcloud.com/coralineada/the-minotaurs-lament

Looks Like NewHow is open-source software like magic?Writing code can be like casting a spell: magic words, written in a special language, bring new worlds into existence. But spells can have consequences. Who is responsible for how technology impacts society? This month on Looks Like New, MEDlab research fellow Adina Glickstein talked to Coraline Ada Ehmke. Who is dedicated to helping technologists make sense of – and take accountability for – the ethical implications of their work.

Dead CodeHammer Smashed Argument (with Coraline Ada Ehmke)In this episode, Jared speaks with Coraline Ada Ehmke, a veteran software developer and creator of the Contributor Covenant and Hippocratic License, about the ethics of open-source software. Coraline discusses common justifications developers use to avoid accountability for the potential harm their software may cause, such as the "freedom zero" argument advocating for unrestricted use of software and the belief that access to the source code ensures ethical behavior. She critiques these views, emphasizing that developers must consider the societal impact of their work and set clear ethical boundaries.
