Follow up:
You have been masked most of the time.
Perhaps it is a little bit early to ask:
Did you get sick during or after #38C3 ?

Get in the habit of bringing up accessibility at meetings, in stand-ups, and in demos. Bring up things you've done to address accessibility. Likewise, don't be afraid to ask, "Have we tested this on a keyboard?" or "What's the experience like on a screen reader?"
@ansuz Ah this is the sketchy bullshit that Brave tried to do at one point too, where they replace ads on websites with their own injected ads, essentially stealing the ad revenue from site operators
re: youtube drama?
@bananas I haven't seen LTT's video so I can't judge it, but it wouldn't need to have been in any sort of bad faith for this outcome to occur, I think
re: youtube drama?
@bananas (And of course Linus would mainly talk about the part that concerns LTT and so people believe that that's all the video was about)

Realizing how the antiblackness of the fediverse shapes how I think about it on some very fundamental levels
I'm never going to think of defederation/instances not being able to talk to each other as a real problem, because when Black ex-twitter users experienced racism, we were told "well just go to a different instance."
So *clearly* the idea that "I *have* to be on *this particular server* otherwise I'm *losing my community & connections*" isn't really........real. Lol.
re: youtube drama?
@bananas Reading more, I think I am starting to understand more about what's going on here - it's not the MegaLag video that people are responding to, it's *Linus' characterization of* the video and I don't think they've ever actually seen the original
youtube drama?
Ended up on the LTT subreddit by accident, on a thread about the Honey scam, and all I can say is: what on earth is going on there?
Everybody there seems to be losing their shit about MegaLag's video supposedly being a hit piece on LTT and I have to wonder whether they saw an entirely different video than I did, because I'm not sure anyone outside of that community is perceiving it as such. Far as I can tell there was some mild criticism in the video about LTT not denouncing their sponsor more clearly and that's it?

We’ve been led to believe that repeat Covid infections are:
1) inevitable
2) good for us & “building immunity”
3) mild unless you’re “vulnerable”
None of it’s true. A well fitted respirator offers excellent protection against COVID.
It’s virus soup out there. Sick of being sick? Mask up!

“Kin had no app store and no third-party apps could be installed on the phones.[43] PC World described this as "baffling".[35] Further, the web browser did not support Flash web applications,[44] and there were no games for the phones.[44]”
the opposite of the n-gage, “got any games on your phone?” “absolutely not”

>systemd-journald dumped core
what
fedi thought, sort of meta
The 'emergent communities' mechanism of fedi is kinda neat, like how communities form from mutual relations without clear boundaries, however it also means that there's no way to say "this community is at its maximum sustainable size, we are not accepting any new members" and that's a problem actually

The fact that lotsa pharmacies keep home covid tests behind the counter is an indication of something to do with how valuable they are/how your health is gatekept, regardless of the not-exorbitant price
