   The Cost of Cynicism (a thread 🧵)

   Cynicism feels like wisdom. It's not.

   It's the discount store of intellectual positions. The fast-food equivalent of critical thinking. Available without effort, satisfying in the moment, empty in the long run.

   > Imagine an alternate 2025 where Kamala Harris won the presidency. Would Meta be hiring conservative pundits and scaling back content moderation? Of course not.

   It's worth noting that (a) all of this is happening under a biden presidency and (b) the gop have been threatening meta for years about this

   in fact, they'd probably do stuff like this under kamala to demonstrate their "impartiality"

   Yes.
   You got lucky finding such a nurse (and were circumspect.)
   Most others would not.

   It really is a major policy failure, similar to not asking whether someone were allergic to anesthetics before surgery.

   Anyway, I'm glad.

   PS
   It’s like bringing owls to Athens, as you are the communications expert, but I'd place this criticism at the very end of your talk, otherwise (s)he might be distracted.

   @jamie An implementation might push the binary data at delivery time if it wanted to save some HTTP hits later. It's the same reason that some web pages use data: urls or inline SVG.

   You may not agree that it's ever necessary, and I actually don't care if it is or not.

   It's a feature that Activity Streams 1.0 had, that the AS2 spec hints at, and that I vaguely remember discussing in the WG. I want to make sure I cover it correctly in my book.

   @thomasfuchs I think you misunderstood the meaning of "open" in this instance.

   This discussion is about consent, online safe spaces and online privacy in that order and none of these things has any connection to if the protocol used is open or not.

   It is such a white tech bro (not you, the developer of the bridge) attitude to not care about consent by forcing an opt out model (which is illegal in the EU. I foresee him being forced to adjust things soon...).

   @wendinoakland --

   This photo is actually a test to see who is an authoritarian or not.

   It is to see if they can accept that something happened that DIDN'T INVOLVE THEM AT ALL.

   You weren't there, you don't get a piece, you aren't participating at all.

   Something other people do that has no effect in your lives is no concern of yours.
