@stavvers "You know, this Elon guy - and I like Elon, I really do, tremendous guy, very smart - but he's become a real problem, folks. Always tweeting, always causing trouble with his little rockets and his electric cars. Someone really needs to do something about this situation. I mean, wouldn't it be nice if someone could just... handle the Elon problem? Just saying. Many people are saying it, believe me." — Trump as Henry II

@muiiio because AT Protocol has blockchain crap in it, and it would require millions to stand up a separate instance to bsky so it creates little fiefdoms.

@muiiio oh. I’m saying that some of the motivation of people in the group are motivated by profit.

It’s also disappointing to see Cory Doctorow in the list of supporters.

Would anyone in Manchester want an HP Gen8 Microserver? I need rid of it, I do not have the space.

@stavvers the bacterial infections in the taps in the neo natal ward, the probability of this happening by chance, the complete misapplication of statistics by the prosecutor.

This is a massive miscarriage of justice and the woman’s life has been so thoroughly ruined I don’t think she could ever be appropriately compensated.

Have thought this since the first conviction, but the infection coverup by the trust that came out this summer? Oooft.

At the top of The Verge, a tech reporting outfit that I thought lost its voice a few years back, is an absolute BANGER of a take down of Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz.

A worthy read about how two of Silicon Valley's most famous VCs have fully thrown in with Trump. #USpol

@siege i can 💯 see this on you. Aesthetic confirmed by internet random.

@age because the Schengen Agreement has so many loop holes and failures, but especially Germany and Denmark are looking out for people to interrogate about their papers. @jon posts about this constantly.

Stop using Chrome as your daily driver.

Google proposed adding DRM to Chrome, which will be used to stop ad blockers, privacy tools, password plugins, accessibility/reader modes.

The only way to stop Google’s Chrome from wrecking the internet like Internet Explorer did for many year to switch to a NOT chromium-based browser as soon as possible for your day to day. You’ve got Safari, and Firefox as your choices.

I know you’ll have to use Chrome sometimes because it’s already happening.

@maikel some websites you might have to use will only work on Blink/Chromium/Chrome, because we can’t stop what has already started.
