The first album I ever listened to was a cassette of Human Racing by Nik Kershaw that I found in my dad’s old room at my grandparents’ home.

  So... after almost a decade of failure in the online regulation space, perhaps some legislative navel gazing is finally about to take place... I encourage every single person negatively affected by the #OnlineSafetyAct to submit evidence here: https://committees.parliament.uk/work/9955/the-online-safety-act-implementation-and-impact/news/217266/online-safety-act-inquiry-launched-by-committee/ If your freedom of expression, security or privacy has been curtailed in any way, however minor, subm...

  The beautiful thing about the fediverse is that the @admin@burnout.cafe is more than welcome to run their server however they want to run it. If they want to pretend it's the 1850s and curate a community where there is no - quote: content or communication that can be qualified as essentially sexually oriented or intentionally appealing to prurient interest; then that's absolutely fine. Good luck to them. They have federation controls and moderation tools to enforce their position. I...

  imagine having such a low opinion of the people you're presenting to that you literally tell them you're going to invent a new product ("ASI") that produces infinite value somehow. No explanation as to how it'll work, how you're going to make it, just a statement.

  Anyone any thoughts on what this might be? Installed at a local reservoir. There’s a solar panel on top which would suggest it’s not mains connected. Seemed to have either some pipes or cables under the trunking.

  @mellifluousbox there's no need for a working group. Commit to never doing it. Enshrine it in the "vision and strategy" of the project that freedom of expression, privacy and personal control over data should be the goals of Mastodon. Parents have a job to protect their kids online, not an Open Source project.
