@StillIRise1963 this feels so much to me like the resistance of doctors to washing their hands in the 1800s. The willingness to put already-vulnerable patients at risk appalls me in a ...uniquely deep way.

@thomasfuchs Except it's less a safe and more a carbon-fibre tube: xPlode

Ok friends I need you to listen closely:

Elon Musk doubling down and compounding his bad decisions is NORMAL. This is how rich assholes behave.

This is how they ALL behave.

We're going into a climate crisis. One that requires immediate action. We have unprecedentedly unchecked corporate power structures and an elite that has zero understanding.

And they will make WORSE decisions the more they are pressed.

The rich will destroy the world rather than admit they don't know what they're doing.

The best [citation needed] ever.

@thomasfuchs tanager?? (I love how some birds are named so descriptively like "Orange-dipped spotty head" but others are like "Black-winged thrush" and it could be either.)

@sanguish sound like just archives (if you went to back up your profile or migrate your account), not all -- pretty big difference! Strongly recommend editing your post for clarity and accuracy.

Still not great, to be fair; sounds like archives were stored public by default? (Isn't that how the Panama Papers site got breached ??) ... Is this a protocol-wide thing or just local to mastodon.social? So potential unauthorized access, but no guarantee someone guessed filenames or actually grabbed.

@ramin_hal9001 Oh man until now I haven't really thought about that. I buy low-end junkmobiles that are as simple electrically as possible, but my next car once this one dies will be an EV (never a T*sla tho) and, ugh. I have to figure out how to hack my own car now to disable this shit, don't I? Fucking SIGH. @pluralistic

@darnell here in our province COVID deaths have gone UP every year of the pandemic, and 2022 was no exception (and that's directly attributed deaths, the excess mortality is up far higher). We've just stopped noticing because there aren't headlines about it anymore.

@neroden @ZeroCovidColin

@Mastodon nicely put

@Gargron Good morning on the weirdest timeline.

@Gargron ever see the video of Hayao Miyakazi reacting to an AI generated body animation? Devastating same.
