Someone at the keysigning party later said: "I didn't get a signed key from you yet.. I'm not signing your key until you sign mine, because I've been burnt before". LOL. Tempting to reply & say "who's to say I can trust you to follow through? Maybe we should meet again and do an in-person exchange of signatures with impartial witnesses present."

We need to crowdsource a db of websites that have opted to exclude themselves from the . The WM has become essential with so many Tor-blocking and blocking sites. I don't want to see WM-excluded sites in my search results. Such archive-resisting sites also downgrade blogs (a dead link invalidates part of an article when there's no archive)

@ashwinvis is not archiving the bugs db. That's a big oversight IMO. The issues are usually not part of git, so their more difficult to liberate and sometimes get sabotaged or lost in forge migrations. Note that Tor users are blocked from reading the issues on .com, so it would be very useful if archive.softwareheritage.org gave a way to access them.

@MariaHill @joerebelloharley@tilde.zone and I must say, the Detroit mayor made a poor choice to boycott j&j. Also consider the ethical angle: Pfizer is an exremely unethical right-leaning company and ALEC member that goes against the values of the people of Detroit.

@joerebelloharley@tilde.zone @MariaHill one of the other advantages of the j&j is ~20/40% less chance of side effects than pfizer/moderna respectively. j&j also reaches full protection 2 weeks faster than moderna.. so even if efficacy were the same, the extra 2 weeks of protection is worth something too.

@koherecoWatchdog @federico3 When an original post is censored, it doesn't even appear in the timeline. So even if ooni were to look for the word "[removed]", it may not even be able to crawl to find such posts if the timeline excludes them.

@federico3 @koherecoWatchdog When Reddit shadowbans a post, that post will appear the same from all locations and networks. I believe the only way to detect the censorship in an automated and generic way is if the detection tool has the userid and password of the user, and logs in, and then checks the contents of the post.

@gerowen IMO, this was only an attack on Microsoft, who uses the data that was stolen as bait to get more people to register and share their phone number and email address. I jumped ship when MS started requiring phone numbers, even though I was grandfathered, because I didn't want to be the reason my past friends would be pushed to give their email and phone number to MS.

@gerowen Can't say I agree with calling the pawns "victims". They arbitrarily & willfully shared their email & other details to all within Microsoft's walled garden. How are those of us outside of that walled garden more of a threat to LinkidIn pawns than LinkedIn users and pawns?

@nytpu takes care of a lot of that, but for on-screen stuff it's a bit labor intensive and this guide seems useful in that regard.

I'm really trying to practice brevity in my writing. I tend to be really long-winded, but I read a really good article in Practical Typography about how readers' attention is finite and it really got me thinking.

The article is about typography, but applies equally well to writing in general: practicaltypography.com/why-do

I got a bunch of non fungible tokens, but now mushrooms are growing all over them! How could this happen??
