The garbage truck dumped my garbage AND my bin...
OMG... I guess I was not wrong when I said here a few weeks ago that if it were not for liberals, Trump supporters would still be using incandescent light bulbs.
"The Trump administration plans to significantly weaken federal rules that would have forced Americans to use much more energy-efficient light bulbs, a move that could contribute to greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming."
ICANN, domain name companies shouldn’t be arbiters of Internet content. New ICANN rules open the door to censorship for nonprofits that strive to hold powerful corporations and governments accountable, @mitchstoltz says on Domain Name Wire podcast. https://domainnamewire.com/category/podcasts/

I'm glad, I'm enjoying this too! (And hopefully we're not bothering @cheese_n_krakens) The app blocking was an instance where I was more frustrated with the gesture than anything--the apps are open source, gab immediately forked them, and in any case the site works perfectly well in a mobile browser. The market works it out, like you said. It did nothing to stop them, fed their persecution complex (which the founder had been constantly spinning rhetoric over even before then--I don't know if you saw any of that), and was turned into a bizarre litmus test for which of your fellow users and instances "supports fascists". Ironically, if the gesture had actually *worked* at all, I would have been less annoyed. As it was, it was just a lot of social drama and vitriol that I could really do without.
(And of course, many of the people framing it as a free speech issue really didn't help. A lot of them really were just jerks, and while the free speech complaint was partially accurate--given it was an attempt at deplatforming, and there was the review bombing issue--it confused the real issue, which was that it was dumb. It's uncharitable of me but I think a lot of them don't fully understand free speech and didn't think about it beyond "my free speech senses are TINGLING!!")

That top poller being the one of the two that doesn't drop out

Spoiler candidates can happen in primaries too. I'm liking Yang the most right now, but he needs to poll better before I consider him. If either Sanders or Warren drop out I think we would see a new top poller.
I think our best way out of this shit is to make something better than Git. Then people will #deletegithub too.
Make Git the 'next' CVS/SVN.
That’s why we should be wary when Barr and others say that exceptional access is possible without compromising encryption. Breaking encryption for law enforcement access is still breaking encryption, and we will fight it every step of the way. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/07/dont-let-encrypted-messaging-become-hollow-promise
I applaud writers/composers who use the "pay what you can" model for digital distribution. It allows content creators to be compensated for their work while also making sure the information is accessible to the financially underprivileged.
I don't trust Discord. How am I always still logged in when I auto-delete cookies on browser close?
