Hi everyone--we've had a big influx of spammers and trolls lately, so far all on other servers. Please report them when you see them, and make liberal use of the block button.

This current wave is pretty obvious trolling with blatantly racist content. I encourage folks to report the account and not respond. We will suspend these assholes as the reports come in.

Turns out that joint was laced with bath bombs and tahini. Dealers are callin' it Dirty Rodeo.

<< Professor Douglas Hartree.. told me that, in his opinion, all the calculations that would ever be needed in this country could be done on the three digital computers which were then being built—one in Cambridge, one in Teddington, and one in Manchester.

<<Twitter is fun because you get to be like, “Ducks are good” and someone in your mentions will go, “Um, I’m sorry but my brother is married to a duck scientist and this is a harmful view” and then someone else pops up going, “Your silence about horses is extremely telling” >>

This makes me so happy: the Tusky Mastodon client will refuse to authenticate anyone who tries to use a Gab instance and rickrolls them instead

autoplay only on some sites, windows default browser takeover, owning all the ads, preventing blocking ads... sounds like SOMEBODY is finally at their web platform lock-in infinite money endgame! https://9to5google.com/2019/05/29/chrome-ad-blocking-enterprise-manifest-v3/

WHY are so many companies, right now, assuming the worst about their users, the worst about their telcos, the worst about their government.... and yet also assuming that their cloud host are squeaky clean angels?

PLEASE don't just blanket distrust your users. Distrust YOURSELF, your boss, your outsourced supply chain. Because all of those are eventually gonna be merged into one giant terrifying WorldBorg.

If you're a coder, give your users the tools to defend themselves against you.
