You can't please or argue with people who have no grace, who know no shame, whose only currency is outrage.

We must not yield.

*WE* are what's on the line. All of us.

I think I'll re-boost this essay on a weekly basis, it's important.

> Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty [… it's] a social norm […]

You rarely think about it, if ever, until that rash comes back out of the blue

COME ON, #APPLE, I see what you're trying to do but you're failing so hard there. As a user, I do not want be forced to allow CleanShotX or SoundSource or Audio Hijack or whatever on a weekly basis.

Wake up, babes, new industry acronym just dropped:

Yesterday's terrifying read:

> A yearlong investigation by #TheInsider, in collaboration with #60Minutes and [German news outlet] #DerSpiegel, has uncovered evidence suggesting that unexplained anomalous health incidents, also known as Havana Syndrome, may have their origin in the use of directed energy weapons wielded by members of Russian GRU Unit 29155.

This is fine. Thanks for nothing, Discord

I mean, big shoutout to @ivory here, good job for adding this filtering on short notice, but I know what the web version on my instance looks like, and I dread going there. PS: Big ups to our server admins, I'm not taking you and your work for granted <3

*Ron Perlman voice* Fucking script kiddie bullshit. Fucking script kiddie bullshit never changes

@feld I can see the pattern, trust me. 😅

I think it's about time for Bayesian spam filtering etc. for Mastodon 🫤

All of it.

So, yeah ?
