Tell me you have no idea how any industry works and you have no idea how technology works without telling me that you have no idea about any of this.

Lastly, considering that journalists are by nature people who question and dig away at anything screaming a lack of transparency, I'm surprised that only a few (if any?) journalists have sounded alarms or protested.

Journalists flocked to Mastodon last year, and a year later, there's barely a whimper as one man's silent takeover/ownership of journalism platforms and even a verification tool here has him establish a monopoly, despite none of you knowing anything about him.

You shock me!

FIN.

Just as you wouldn't expect a doctor's forum to be run by someone who never went to medical school, or a gardeners' club to be run by someone who has never pulled weeds before, I find it unacceptable that a platform for journalists, including many who left Twitter due to trolling, slander, death threats...would be run by someone who has never worked in our field. How would I be certain that someone would uphold journalism ethics and values if they haven't walked a mile in our shoes?

Last week, the Journa server was taken over by new management. None of us were notified, and I found out when server updates caused account to freeze for a few hours.

The instance has now been taken over by a "Jeff Brown" from Newsie. Now, I have no idea who he is and have no ill will towards him. But the individual is not a journalist. I couldn't find anything on him online that would suggest that he would be trustworthy enough to oversee management of Mastodon's largest journalism instances.

🧵 Hey all! This is a new account, I'm still Zecharias Zelalem, freelance journalist and aspiring OSINTer providing news and analysis on the Horn of Africa for a variety of international media outlets. For the past year or so, I posted via @zekuzelalem@journa.host, but I've transitioned away from that instance. I'll be posting from this account from now on. After recent changes on the journa dot host instance, I had no choice but to set up elsewhere. Hope to continue exchanges and friendships here.

people keep posting things like "valve makes trillions of dollars every day from counter-strike gun skins and they can't even run more than three servers" and I'm just wondering where any of those numbers came from

like clearly they made them up and they're wrong but why did they pick those specific wrong numbers

Vanavond even in het Rijksoverheid archief lopen zoeken, nu heb ik alle Miljoenennotaposters bij elkaar vanaf 2003: https://eloydegen.com/miljoenennotaposters/

met hulp van een vriend die een mail had gestuurd naar het Ministerie van Financiën met het verzoek voor de posters van vóór 2012 die niet in het openbare archief staan.

Nu nog een mail gestuurd naar het designbureau Studio Tint of ze toevallig nog de versies hebben van vóór 2003 die zelfs het Ministerie van Financiën niet meer heeft.

Politie klopt op de deur – we herinneren het ons nog!

De toestand van de zoon is kritiek, zeggen ze, maar het is een leugen, want hij is al dood – we herinneren het ons nog!

Ziekenhuis, eerste vragen over wat er is gebeurd, maar de politie weet van niets en het zijn er vijftien – we herinneren het ons nog!

hey guysss what do you think of my new web design? :3

so i am taking the taxi back home right now and if you have been following my posts you probably remember my rant about how i hate that taxi backseats lack the seatbelt ports and that it's really unsafe

well the thing is since i am a college student i always order the economy class taxi cars. but my app today decided it will route a comfort class taxi to me since all other vehicles are not present in my area

(1/2)

while i don't have to pay more.
i say "hooray" and wait for my toyota camry to come up and take me

but as soon as the driver pulled up and i took a seat, i took a glance at the backseat and

there were seatbelt ports there.

turns out that premium and comfort class taxis have seatbelt ports.

...

holy mother of god what the fuck
