@skinnylatte No lie. I moved to Switzerland to study on a student visa at 18. Of my non-European foreign peers, perhaps 10% were able to remain there after their studies. The writing was on the wall from day one. Few made the voluntary choice to leave, like I did.

@skinnylatte The first year we had Luna, we spent in the low five figures on vet care. Ever since then I happily pay for my vet insurance, but I sometimes wonder what would happen if I couldn't afford it some reason. Scary.

Andy Yen should NOT be @protonprivacy CEO.

I hope that its primary shareholder, the Proton Foundation, and its directors, Antonio Gambardella (Director at the Fondation Genevoise pour l’Innovation Technologique), Tim Berners-Lee, Dingchao Lu, and Carissa Véliz Perales exercise their fiduciary duty before Andy digs Proton into a hole. His simplistic political opinions actively harm the foundation's mission and statutory purpose.

Also worth noting that the Andy fellow doesn't even have full signing authority at Proton AG and cannot sign documents or agreements without a signature from another authorized signatory, so that's good. There's adequate oversight.

I'm disappointed to see @protonprivacy co-founder and CEO Andy Yen shortsightedly praising the incoming US administration for “standing up for the little guys”.

That said, I am glad that Proton AG's primary shareholder is now a Swiss non-profit foundation, which means the Swiss Confederation and Geneva can intervene if the foundation improperly moves away from its statutory purpose.

TL;DR: Proton CEO may be shortsighted, but the structure of Proton gives me hope that the Geneva and Swiss confederation can intervene if he decides to go full Musk.

I am quite certain my neighbor passed away; the police and paramedics have been in the hallway for an hour or so. He was relatively young, but struggled with a lot of health issues. He was nice enough and we had a cordial relationship, but you could tell he was really isolated, in no small part due to hoarding behavior. Very sad end.

To cap off this mini-rant, here is one of my recent camping tacos, made with a veggie and seitan guisado, rösti and fresh salsa.

I saw an ad that featured a family out camping, making corn tortillas "from scratch" using a tortilla press. It really annoyed me because there are two types of corn tortillas: The traditional one, made with nixtamalized ground hominy, and the modern, industrial one, made with dehydrated masa. The latter one is vastly inferior. Its texture is off, it dries easily and lacks the same nutritional value.

Tacos are my camping food. I've made and happily eaten hundreds of tacos out in the forest and desert. Never once have I made a tortilla from dehydrated masa. I will get ready-made tortillas and keep them in the cooler until I'm ready to eat them.

TL;DR: Don't bother making tortillas using a tortillas press when camping. It's not authentic, it's not as good and it is more work.

And "AI" will not change this truth, because these systems *still* need to be trained and that training still requires badly-paid people to be exposed to terrible, traumatic content.

So when people go and sing the praises of corporate social networks and how their "trust and safety" policies are protecting users, I hope they spare a second to think about the individuals doing the actual moderation.

I really wish more people acknowledged that content moderation—whether here in the #fedi or on a corporate social network like #Bluesky—is service work that requires individuals to be exposed to terrible, terrible things. The people performing content moderation are providing care work for society and deserve to be compensated accordingly, but rarely are.

If your experience online is mostly free from racism, abuse, and other forms of violent or extreme content, there's a good chance that it's because someone, somewhere, filtered it out for you.

I think the CEO's assassination is looking more and more like a political act. Maybe the Wikipedia page for "propaganda of the deed" will get a new entry after a 92 year dry spell.

  Propaganda of the deed
  
  Propaganda of the deed (or propaganda by the deed, from the French propagande par le fait) is specific political direct action meant to be exemplary to others and serve as a catalyst for revolution. It is primarily associated with acts of violence perpetrated by proponents of insurrectionary anarchism in the late 19th and early 20th century, including bombings and assassinations aimed at the state, the ruling class in a spirit of anti-capitalism, and church arsons targeting religious groups, even though propaganda of the deed also had non-violent applications. These acts of terrorism were intended to ignite a "spirit of revolt" by demonstrating the state, the middle and upper classes, and religious organizations were not omnipotent as well as to provoke the State to become escalatingly repressive in its response. The 1881 London Social Revolutionary Congress gave the tactic its approval. Anarchist origins Various definitions One of the first individuals to conceptualise propaganda...

@kingrat The building he pimped women out from is around the corner from my place. It's either the Harrison or 399 Fremont. My bet is on the later, given its reviews:

Ballot counting has finally finished here in San Francisco.

Out of 522,265 registered voters, only 412,041 people cast a ballot. That's a voter turnout of 78.9%.

Four years ago, turnout was 86.3%, the second highest on record. In 2016, it was 80.7%.

These shit ads are everywhere here in #SF.

Imagine working in tech, in some customer facing capacity and having to see this a dozen times a day, knowing your boss is seeing it too and probably running the numbers.

The incoming administration will work with the Tech Barons to exploit personal data and relationships on corporate social networks like Twitter and Facebook and communication platforms like WhatsApp for political oppression and not nearly enough people are concerned about it.

And I'm not talking about "deplatforming", removing posts, or shadow bans. I'm taking about identifying the family of DACA recipients, finding people organizing protests or sending abortion medication to friends.
