(#sb6fema) @prologic@twtxt.net such a lying bastard! This has little to nothing to do with children, and/or placing ā€œthe power back in the hands of parentsā€. It is about them politicians, to grant themselves the ability to intimidate, silence and prosecute those speaking against their sleazy behaviours. 😔🤬

(#govyi7a) @prologic@twtxt.net it is $450,000, not $450M. Still a seizable amount of money, but not on the same order of magnitude. Also, we can do both: worry about our own planet and resources, and people, and look to the stars. We wouldn’t be anywhere if we didn’t do many things at once. :-)

(#ugpi43a) @prologic@twtxt.net hmm, I don’t understand your twt asking ā€œAnyone have any other details on this story from AWS with their EFS and sub-millisecond latencies? Apparently the story posted on /. was a dupe, but I can’t find the original oneā€ then. The ā€œstoryā€ was simply the blog post I linked you on IRC, nothing else. It was posted twice on Slashdot. This one, and this one.

(#ulikega) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org very nice shot! I had to look up snowdrops, as I was not familiar with the plant. They look lovely, do they have a nice fragrance? For this picture I would have removed the leave at the top left, and the one in the middle, in between them. I know purists will say that’s editing, and tampering with the order of nature. I’d reply that’s artistic freedom. :-) As I said, lovely nevertheless.

(#tgdrf4a) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net it is an upsetting case, and one it could be easier to solve should Kamila be simply disqualified—which, based on findings, she should. But as she is not yet, and is being allowed to compete, and the final ruling on her doping case will drag for weeks, you don’t want her winning gold medal now, to later be known someone else is actually the gold winner, and having to swap medals, etc. She is the favourite to win, by the way.

With all facts found, she should be disqualified. End of story.

I find it interesting that there hasn’t been a dispute between Apple and Alphabet when it comes the use of the word Messages. Apple Messages (named Messages) saw light in 2007, while Google Messages (also named Messages) saw light in 2014. They both have similar function, but are exclusive to the OS they run on. I think that is the reason Google Messages might never show on the App Store (though it would give Alphabet the upper hand if it were to be).

I understand there is Apple Maps and Google Maps too, which is also puzzling. On this one Google was first.

(#r5m3zxq) @prologic@twtxt.net we are not talking about ā€œbig businessā€ or ā€œcorporate propagandaā€, unless you consider Joe that. Joe has misinformed. Joe has hosted people who seek to misinform, and spread misinformation and lies. Joe has engaged in ā€œpropaganda and liesā€. He has encouraged it, either because he truly aligns to them, or for profit; either way the end result is damaging and bad. Boycotts have existed since I have memory; some have worked, some haven’t. The tubes has simply made it easier to boycott someone/something.

The problem goes beyond Joe, and COVID. There are people doing harm, and trying to do harm, each day (including politics, environment, finances, religions, you name it!). Their message of hate, and harm gets amplified by the internet, and gullible people eats it. Weak minded believes it. Each of us gets to decide. Each of us bears the responsibility.

(#r5m3zxq) @prologic@twtxt.net would you call disallowing access to Facebook, or Snapchat, to your children censorship? Would you call not aligning yourself to Neonazis censorship? Wouldn’t you agree that stopping people spreading misinformation—misinformation with the potential to kill many, or cause harm—is worth ā€œcensoringā€? There are things to which you simply put a stop. Some people and/or their ideas are not up for debate. Do you think any amount of debate will make your old man stop believing on his religion?
