@clacke I'm really pissed off with these decisions breaking my use case. When I have the spoons, I'm just going to set up a standard email client, and get anyone who is willing to install an E2EE chat app to use XMPP or Matrix.

But honestly, I'm really starting to understand why most people just surrender to the status quo. The admin involved in evaluating and setting up replacements is already high, and then every now and then stuff like this happens.

@catsalad
Oh lord, that guy.

@stella that's stella!!!!!!!

@ben I don’t follow. From a pure realpolitik standpoint, Dems should *want* the Senate seat that would normally command another GOP vote to be held by an absent/non-voting GOP senator. If MM is dead, the GOP should want to get the special under way because their odds of winning are good. And Beshear should drag his heels if there IS a death/resignation before Aug. 3 because the KY statute sets no deadline for Beshear to proclaim a special election.

@artsbypatrick Do you have standard rates that you charge? Do you have a portfolio anywhere?

My current idea is something like this (feel free to suggest changes):

Scene is outdoors. Guy in a MAGA hat is talking with other people who might be his family (woman, a kid or teen maybe wearing something that clearly signals LGBTQ+ affinity? maybe a younger kid has a friend who looks Hispanic), looking a little sad and bewildered (while also entitled, in the way MAGA-types can do). Off to one side are ICE agents in a cluster all facing towards each other and focused on something on the ground, unseen violence hinted at by their body-language.

The caption is something like "I don't understand why we can't all just get along!"

Possible alternative detail: the family is indoors, and the ICE agents are visible through their front window.

...is that the kind of thing you could work with? Thanks!

@catsalad oh fuck! oh no! fresh bread smell! aaaaaaaa

@tim

My "yes" would be something like they have to put wealth in excess of $1B into a charity fund which is then doled out in some fair way. In reality I can't see this working but in principle it would be nice.

I am terribly sorry to interrupt your doomscrolling, but this morning's Low Quality Ad is for this Fat Squirrel Pin. Look at him. He's bulking up for winter. In the winter, he will continue to bulk up for the summer. He is permanently round.

@mattblaze @ai6yr @h2onolan

If the other person in the convo about pressure watchers did extensive searches, then location triangulation (you both in the same place) could explain the ads.

@ai6yr @mathaetaes @adamshostack @nullpo @mattblaze @NilaJones @helvick @trashpanda @h2onolan So there's some history to this post.

Mostly that it took me nearly two years to get approval for uBlock Origin Lite as a force install. Why?

All the reasons mentioned in the post. Enterprises really don't like these things. And of course, they go against the browser vendors' (Google, Microsoft) recommendations.
