    Yesterday, 26th of September was Stanislav Petrov Day.

    A day to celebrate that you, me, everyone isn't nuclear vapour right now.
    SP - disobeyed orders and military protocol, used his own thinking, and by doing so averted nuclear retaliation based on false alarms that would likely have caused a mass nuclear war in 1983.

    Stanislav Petrov, often referred to as "The man who saved the world" died in December 2017

    Find and create levels for Rabbit Escape here: https://www.artificialworlds.net/rabbit-escape/levels/
    (Now with ability to see what your level looks like. Soon: ability to edit level inline. For now, use this instead: https://www.artificialworlds.net/rabbit-escape/level-editor/ )

    The latest version of #Chrome doesn't delete Google cookies even when you ask it to delete all cookies:

    https://twitter.com/ctavan/status/1044282084020441088

    It also does some dodgy stuff with logging people into Google:

    https://techcrunch.com/2018/09/24/security-experts-say-chrome-69s-forced-login-feature-violates-user-privacy/

    Chrome is made by Google, who make vast amounts of money from invading people's privacy.

    The best easy-to-use alternative right now is probably Firefox:

    IF YOU USE OPEN SOURCE STUFF in the course of your day-to-day, consider sending the maintainer a thank you note: https://www.thankyouopensource.com/

    OSS can be really thankless, and this tiny note can make a world of difference.

    "What is ActivityPub and how will it change the Internet?". Nice post by @jdormit!

    https://jeremydormitzer.com/blog/what-is-activitypub-and-how-will-it-change-the-internet/

    (The only thing I'd challenge is the bit about needing lots more users to compete with Facebook and Twitter - I think most active users here would say that the fediverse is doing well already & it doesn't have to become a wholesale Facebook/Twitter-slayer for it to be good and useful! I think in general we - I'm guilty of it too - spend too much time focusing on & comparing with them!)

    1. What's been the best thing about using WordPress? Feature/plugin/anything
    2. What's the worst thing about using WordPress?

    @DavidDarnes Best about wordpress: automatic updates, loads of plugins. Worst: hard to make it fast enough.

    Just published a short guide for finding stuff on #PeerTube, along with how you actually subscribe to channels.

    I have a number of channel recommendations for anyone that's wondering "Where the heck do I watch stuff?"

    I just realised peer tube is an offshoot of mastodon (or at very least, compatible). I can add peer tube accounts to mastodon and they appear in my time line..that's pretty cool

    The #EU Parliament votes on the Copyright Directive, including Articles 11 & 13, are due this Wednesday. If the EU were to vote for 11 & 13 in their original forms, it would have a chilling effect on political discourse, curtail freedom of speech & endanger the #Fediverse .

    If you live in the EU (that still includes the UK) get in touch with your MEPs and say to them you oppose 11 & 13. Include your name & address to prove you are a constituent.

      I’ve just called my MEP to tell them to vote against a dangerous EU copyright plan for a link tax and mass content censorship. Now it’s your turn!
