fedi meta shitpost
I hereby found the Anti-Social Web Foundation and formally invite Anduril, Raytheon and a bunch of other military contractors to join
Together, we can ruin the Fediverse
I'm not sure if they operate outside the local area (seems they might do repairs in all of NL, despite only having store branches here? Their website isn't very clear about it), but in case anyone else in NL is looking, the company is Lunenburg.
Repairpeople just returned to install the replacement part, and to my surprise they remembered that I asked them to mask last time, and they brought their own masks and were already masked up before they came in!
Absolutely A++ experience honestly.

Urgh, this sounds like the usual US-centric encapsulation of a thing, in this case ActivityPub and the fediverse. Office on Mission Street in San Francisco, a white team, ‘partners’ like Meta, Automattic, Medium, and the Ford Foundation.

“Back to office”
If your view is that cities are dying because of WFH, and you’re prepared to strong arm employees “back to the office”, but you have taken zero activity to make those offices safer against COVID and airborne viral transmission… you’re pushing eugenics.
If you’re happy to see everyone maskless again at events, and doing zero to mitigate COVID, you’re happy to see folks disabled by the virus you’re ignoring.
I’m tired of people pretending normality and taking zero responsibility.

Cities: Spending money on public transit? Hmm I don't know, why can't public transit be more like the private sector. They don't need handouts!
Private sector: That's right, now don't forget you need to spend a million million bucks on maintaining free roads for cars, free parking spaces for cars, free bridges for cars, the traffic lights, signs, and cops for speed limit enforcement

The grapevine is saying that Matt Mullenweg has just announced to his automattic employees that starting today, any resignation will be effective immediately to try to prevent leaks.
I'm sure this will prevent the leaks and no one will tell anyone what it's internally announced anymore.
Masterful gambit, pardner.

telegram
Can't help but notice that the reason for the Telegram CEO being arrested in France seems to have shifted from "failure to moderate the platform" (in the original reporting) to "failure to hand over user identities to cops" (Telegram updated their T&C to hand over data).
Those are two VERY different things.

I feel like people are generally not good at telling apart emotions and the actions that arise from those emotions
Emotions cannot be moral or immoral. You cannot be guilty for feeling a certain way. And you cannot be proud of it, either
How you choose to act on your emotions is a different thing altogether. You have control over that. An emotion may explain a certain type of action, but it cannot justify it

police
tldr do not talk to the cops, not as a witness, not for background, not for anything. They’re allowed to lie about that if they think you did it and especially if you haven’t done anything you might not realize they could think you did.

I hate the term ‘commuter rail’ cause it implies anyone using it for something other than getting to/from work is an afterthought at best

Daydream: a lawsuit against publishers to recover the money that we all would have gotten from the lawful resale of our video games, books, movies, etc except that now everything's digital and so publishers just collect rent now
