Handled by a different department, I expect

Seeing like a sufficiently large state

Thank you!

We're aware of reports that access to Signal has been blocked in some countries. As a reminder, Signal's built-in censorship circumvention feature might be able to help if your connection is affected:

I’ve always side eyed the phrase “simping” until I saw the obsequious praise security bros are lavishing on Crowdstrike for one of the worst “RCA” docs I’ve ever read, and now I get it

Dear festival organizers, I know this may be a niche perspective, but I don't actually care about how many Spotify streams an artist has had. However, I do care a lot about who's traveling with their own LD. Just saying.

I used to call the parent category recreational culture shock, but then again I was a collector for many years

@guyintheblackhat
There comes a time etc etc etc

@simsa02
Do you have any specific recommendations?

Holy fuck this comment: https://leehamnews.com/2024/01/15/unplanned-removal-installation-inspection-procedure-at-boeing/#comment-509962

Less capitalism.

Not on the site, but everywhere else and the site can follow

Very niche question, but does anyone know if there's been any crossover between the SMTPE ST 2110-41 & -42 Extensible Fast
Metadata Transport & Formatting standards efforts and Midi 2.0? Particularly when it comes to interaction with AES67/AESX242? It would be really nice to see midi RTP gain more penetration and be able to manage it in the same way that I handle Dante audio in the house — not in the least because actually getting full Dante audio routing everywhere also means I need a distributed control surface fleet.

@feld
Was this pre-fosta/sesta?
@maxkennerly

@feld
Yes. Visa and Mastercard sort of tolerate those folks, but enforce the rules across everyone else, and those processors are much more expensive — and still kind of in the targets of stuff like Fosta/sesta. Substack is on Stripe who don't allow this.
@maxkennerly

@feld US, sorry. USG basically sets content policy for the entire industry here, unfortunately. @maxkennerly

@maxkennerly
Part of the principle, unfortunately, is "Mastercard and Visa tell us they will permaban us if we take porn and don't care about nazis", and they say that because the Treasury tells them so. It's definitely also a thing they're not pushing back against, but a lot of the problem with adult content online comes down to that.

If you care about climate change and ignore or dismiss the geopolitical, industrial, and socioeconomic structures that are perpetuating it, you're largely useless.

@Wolven
Honestly, that doesn't bother me as much as the reverse, where in tech you can be a "senior" with three years of work. I think the problem is with the gatekeeping and the idea that mid-career folks can't lead. No one seems to have a good model for interacting with folks who may be doing good work for 50 years and what the different stages of that life look like.

@akareilly
And sometimes the city, even. Which is very effective at preventing the creation of, say, at well-known national tenant's union with actual resources. This is not accidental, any more than the ban on cross-national unions in the EU is.
