   The Seattle-based law firm Perkins Coie is one of the best in the world. When I was a baby lawyer at a similar firm representing McDonnell Douglas, all of us were aware that Perkins Coie was our counterpart, representing Boeing since Boeing's founding in 1916. The firm has over 1,000 attorneys in 21 offices across three continents, is known for its pro bono work, and truly is a leader in innovative, ethical representation.

   However, they also represent Democrats, and so Trump has signed an executive order trying to destroy them.

   As I said before, I am proud to be a lawyer. We lawyers are a vital line of defense in protecting democratic institutions, and we are under attack by fascists.

   Since today I am hosting my own #Pixelfed instance.

   As VPS i am using #Hetzner, a german cloud provider. The pricing is really good and also the web interface is great. I can really recommend them.

   As server operating system I am using #YunoHost and it's just awesome! I never imagined that it can be so simple to setup a server and install applications on it. Pixelfed was basically a one-click installation and everything worked out of the box.

   (WSS 12/25 Copper)

   Tacie counted the day's copper coins, pleased. She'd finally be able to afford the repairs to her hands, as soon as the town's mechanic had time to work on them.

   As they were, they stuck and scraped and kept her from the finest work she used to be able to do. She'd been made for delicate things but that had been decades before. Maintenance on her model had gotten too costly and she'd been released from service.

   But she was still functional and aware. Her fingers still moved. And they would move and make more delicate things.

   Soon.

   Honestly, I couldn't care less if some politicians aren't on the FediVerse.

   "Oh, you used to lead a country? That's cute."

   Y'know, the person who wrote the protocol which begat the world's largest computer network until the mid 1990s is on here.

   The person who wrote the reference DNS server is on here too!

   Last I checked DNS is queried around a billion times an hour by more or less every computer on the Internet.

   That isn't all those people did either.

   But it would get like, kind of crazy to name all their individual technical achievements without name dropping them.

   As it is, if you know, you know.

   Their follower counts?

   Let's just say the individual who was employee #2 at Phoenix, that company that reverse engineered the IBMPC BIOS which facilitated "clone" PCs (IIRC Hewlett Packard came to them with some hardware that they blessed with their ЯƎ-ed BIOS as just one example) has fewer than 1000 followers.

   That individual who also helped implement DHCP? So you don't need to sit there tweaking your IP and netmask and gateway and DNS settings every time you change networks? 1.3K followers.

   If you know, you know.

   If you care about politicians being on here?

   Let me know when ANY politician has ever contributed to anything as widespread as those two who are already here, and presumably will continue to keep toiling in the shadows, doing neat things, releasing code in free and open source manners as they have done, for decades.

   No lobbyists needed.

   No billionaires bribing anyone for votes.

   I don't think the FediVerse's priorities are off.

   I think everyone who is so ignorant of who really co-creates technology claiming that the FediVerse/Mastodon should be more like Twitter/BlueSky/whatever the heck is just showing that they have a lot to learn?

   We all do!

   Good thing ignorance can be conquered!:)

   Shipley held a contentious meeting on Monday with scores of #opinion section staffers, who posed tough questions to the #editorial page chief, including appeals for #Bezos to address them.

   As recently as last week, according to a person present, Shipley said he sought to talk Bezos out of his decision. Shipley added, “I failed.”

   @feld
   Part of why I laid out the reasons that way is so you can easily have your spreadsheet sort them, and take or leave what you want. It's intended that you could easily pick out only specific kinds and go after them.

   As for the ones that do not deserve to be on this list, please tell me which ones, and I will remove them immediately and re-check them at a later date. You can do this in a DM if you want.

   Same goes to anyone else who thinks a server is on here mistakenly.
