@SteveBellovin @jianmin @squillace @mattblaze - Influence Campaign bots gonna influence campaign.

@mattblaze 💯

@mattblaze - My gut tells me this is probably being done for some stupid or contrived (or at least blown out of proportion) reason. Whoever (full chain of command such as it is) issued this probably doesnt know or care about the consequences and ramifications of these actions.

But I have no idea.

Hide and watch for the time being, I guess.

@mattblaze - Yeah, this is weird. The airport didn't know why. The city govt didnt know why. Even the FAA's own Special Operations Support Center didnt know why.

The abruptness and lack of coordination - on top of the length of period and complete lockdown even of medical, military, and police (in addition to cargo and passenger) air - is astounding.

Want a recipe but dont wanna sift through ad filled, AI genned, crap recipe sites?

@dillyd - I like the idea of pendants for necklaces or earrings (depending on size and weight).

Instead of drilling a hole, you could fashion a simple wire trellis that wraps around them. Use a soft metal wire in whatever color or metal you like. Still lets the tear drop show through and you'd attach the wire to the necklace or hook instead of attaching the necklace and hook through the glass itself.

See attached for some ideas:

The boy in the blue cap.
The girl in the red coat.

@QasimRashid - Makes me wonder if "stop the steal" and claims of election fraud were them admitting to it themselves.

We had a "good emergency" tonight at our original free fridge!

Someone dropped off *too much* food and it didn't fit into the pantry and refrigerator. There was also a lot of boxes left over!

So a call went out to discord and five people showed up to sort and put away what could fit, clean up the boxes, AND take the extra food to the new free fridge as well as a local "little free pantry" that a local girl scout troop set up!

Oh, fun thing! While we were putting away the original food drop off, two other folks came and dropped off their own supplies. We pointed them to the other fridges/pantries for the future and took what they dropped off as well to spread around.

Also, while we were there multiple families and folks came by and utilized a lot of the food! But there was still so much left over even after folks took their fill.

@spinach - They dont even have their own public bus and subway system.

@valkyrie - Hoarding is such charged language, too. Like. How much are they paying the writer for such blatant corporate bootlicking.

To take frugal, sustainable, an responsible actions and call it hoarding. As if not throwing things away and throwing money away and buying the latest all the time is responsible.

Just obtuse and stupid.

Mua-hahahaha!!!

Yes. Yes that's right.

Down with the consumer economy of built-in obsolescence, disposable tech, and subscriptions.

Up with Right to Repair, Permacomputing, Library and Share Economies!

(Also trollololol on "device hoarding" and "costing economy {sic})

Charlottesville, Virginia, USA has an e-bike lending library!

Just... go and check out an ebike. Ride it for a week for free. And then turn it back in. You can check it out multiple times so long as no has a hold for it.

Whew! Careful out there today.

There's a lot of people in my timeline boosting and posting misinformation (and disinformation).

(eg that McAfee *unwittingly* posted an AI image of a woman with three hands - even though that was the *point* of the ad campaign... selling AI detection.

or that Madonna has rejected a $500 million dollar deal from Elon Musk)

Everyone can fall for misinfo. If you read a claim - ESPECIALLY IF YOU AGREE WITH IT OR GET JOY FROM IT - please verify it before you post or boost it.

Dont boost until you validate.
Dont boost until you validate.
Dont boost until you validate.

(and unboost or delete the post if you later find it to be fake)

Posting this as a personal reminder. I make mistakes too and have accidentally boosted false info in the past. Bonus points for anyone who sends this post back to me in the future when I make that mistake again 😅

Guess I'm never going to buy another EA game again...

Plenty of indie developers to choose from anyhow.

@GossiTheDog - Vibe... Working?

Umm... I've officially lost the corporate lingo....

Large organizations and corporations moving to open source is a great thing.

If they have budget, they should still contribute and "pay" for the open source software they use.

Edit: Adding in this key quote as a positive example:

"Austria isn't just replacing Microsoft software. Unlike typical public-sector and corporate migrations, Austria's military has heavily invested in LibreOffice development itself. The armed forces have been funding the creation of new features and improvements that are now included in public releases. These additions, ranging from improved slideshow editing to better handling of pivot tables, have been rolled into the latest version of LibreOffice."
