I agree that there’s no good way to do this other than like… no user generated content ever or just ban everyone for their baby pics and etc….and nobody can post them.

Granted the latter is kinda happening distantly on YouTube where you can’t talk about “ suicide “ so everyone self censors…


They bought all that stuff, but it was also a choice.

I wish Europe was more organized as a group and assertive. But as it stands I don't think Europe is capable of that for reasons beyond just "we bought a lot of stuff". Politically I'm just not sure they're capable.


This is the instagram pic:

According to the article, that pic the entire basis for the indictment and there's nothing else to it ...


[flagged]


The Comey indictments are unprecedented.

Yea Biden was all about repeatedly using the DoJ for personal vendettas. Totally the same thing.

Yeah, he was. And not just against his political opponents, but concerned parents, anyone who fought against forceable vaccinations, and a host of other things.

In American college football there's all sorts of awards, and each year they put out "watch-lists" and silly press releases that get parroted on social media by any team that has their own player mentioned.

I've wanted to come up with my own for a while ...


In the soccer world, there is the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS), that decides several rankings and awards that are regularly cited in traditional media. For example, if a player from my not-quite-football-powerhouse country makes the "best 100 goalkeepers" list or whatever, it'll be on the news.

Turns out the IFFHS was just one guy in Germany during the 80s that leveraged his contacts in news agencies to establish his brand as a reputable source.


I was thinking about bank clocks that show the temperature and time (perhaps a little more common when I was young). I thought about how nice it would be to put up my own electronic sign that provided information I would find handy and if anyone else would enjoy it. Weather, local events, etc.

Most of the signs around me aren't there to be of use, it's to advertise or at best push some information from someone who had a particular incentive (or even incentive to not show it in this case). I wonder if individuals might make better choices.

Granted, the classic mental illness car with signs all over it might indicate the downsides of letting just anyone do it.


They're all just value propositions. Is it worth my time and money? There ya go that's it.

It's not unlike the emotional drama I see each time Netflix raises prices (people get really upset about that), or video game discussion (the worst). If it's not worth the the value proposition, move on ... don't hang on / waste emotional cycles on Netflix or something like that ...

Granted I'm not a robot, I get the the emotional connection too, I think back to my early days in computing and I still fondly think of the now defunct manufacturer of my first PC, later the Windows 95 start me up commercials ... it was something magical.


Help me out here because I honestly don't know / must have a different workflow.

Are other people being impacted every day by github outages?

What does that look like?

I'm not saying the writer is wrong, I'm just wondering how folks who experience this every day work / how that exposure plays out / what it is.


I've been impacted once: An action that failed to start (a PR check), then the merge button on that PR having no effect. Thankfully there was no urgency. It's a bit distressing because GitHub is kinda the engineering hub of the companies. We do have copies of the codebase on our computers and can launch build from there, but we have a process for a reason, and bypassing it is hacky.

prs not being visible because search is down, various ui elements not loading, pushes failing, merges failing, gha runs that fail with random errors or take forever to schedule

i literally do not recall the last day that passed without someone on my team noticing that some portion of gh was degraded.


>The FCC said the review stemmed from a yearlong investigation of Disney’s diversity, equity and inclusion practices. But a source with knowledge of the matter said it got fast-tracked after ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel made a controversial joke about first lady Melania Trump.

The term "snowflake" is / was heavily used online by folks on the right, but man this administration are the kings of that term.


Projection ain't just a river in Egypt. It has become a cliché that if the right wing is accusing you of something, it's because they are doing it.

Heck if they do tell you, ICE swaps plates and tries to hide in various ways.

The evidence could be just some regular looking vehicle you can't find anything about and it's just "trust me bro those were feds" and you're out of luck.


I've certainly worked places where people pulled that stunt and then got moved into ... management.

I noped out of those places fast.
