Apartheid, genocidal #Israel can't bear scrutiny by the free press. Truth is the enemy of fascism.

The dirty secret of expertise is that most experts in any field would rank their own profession's average competence somewhere between alarming and indictable
I knew a guy who was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year who firmly believed that setting the text encoding to “binary” on a database column meant the column was “encrypted” and thus you could just insert plaintext passwords there without worry.

Some data on Ebola 🦠

That's... disgraceful. The vertical scale is neither linear nor logarithmic. This is a crime against data.

@catsalad I hope I'm not the only one that clicked the pic looking for a spin..

It's no surprise that surveillance tech is being pushed in creepy and invasive ways. It should also be no surprise that EFF is fighting back. We just need your support. https://eff.org/spring
Google Search as you know it is over https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/google-search-as-you-know-it-is-over/
@Sarahp how does this affect meta search engines which uses/used Google's search results? Do they have access to the underlying search results or are they just post-processing AI goop?
A couple of decades ago, following Sun Tzu's advice to keep your friends close but your enemies closer, I subscribed to The Free Radical. The unofficial party rag of Lindsay Perigo's Libertarianz.
One of the most important fantasies they spread, at every opportunity, was that taxation was theft from the taxpayer. Necessary perhaps to maintain the property protection apparatus (cops, courts, prisons and the military), but to be minimised whatever the consequences.

(it’s not that much code but I’m still wondering if a tiny library to replace mwoauth and sand off the edges of directly using requests_oauthlib would make sense 
)
@LucasWerkmeister for once I might actually be one step ahead of you!

#LFC Sunday to-do list:
• Don't collapse
• Hope Bournemouth don't go on an absolute rampage against Forest
I might add to those:
- Make an extra effort to preserve decorum and dignity
- Part ways as amicably as possible with those you're never going to see again
- Respect the champions who created the new Liverpool from its ashes
IT'S COMING BACK AROUND AGAIN! THIS IS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE SUN!
I am extremely pleased I went for a run. I could have done the next group up frankly but am saving myself for tomorrow. Had some nice CHATS. Did some nice HILLS. Saw a nice LAKE. I then came home and put a jacket potato into my face in a way that David Attenborough might describe as feral or savage. Just smashed it straight into me. Ol' potato face they call me. Mr Potato. The potato man. He cometh. He roams the wild moors when the moon is full, howling and gnashing his terrible teeth. A cautionary tale for all the baby potatoes. Beware.
Anyway I hope you're having a nice evening and also you look great today. I love what you've done with your hair it really suits you. X
@TheBreadmonkey thanks! I sport a Weetabix cut. I went to the same barber for twenty years and last year he retired so I bought some clippers and applied my DIY skills. It saves time and money but I miss the chats we used to have. He used to finish off with a neck and shoulder massage which involved cupping one hand and clapping it with the other. It produced a muffled yet relaxing thud. Miss that too. DIY doesn’t stretch that far.
@wndxlori that's pretty nice.
I have a question: what do you mean with "unloaded"? Using other Operating System or just reset the current last-supported MacOS?
@esparta “unloaded” ~= got rid of / sold
But I did reset it and ungraded to the most recent MacOS it could take.
