    I might not be around for a while ... really unwell, might have to go to the hospital.
    To those of you who've made this existence worth living, if I don't get a chance to say this again, I loved you all.

    @lnxw48a1 Carpet is warmer in the winter unless you have in-floor heating, but as a Canadian who has both in her house ... I'd still rather just have a wood or tile floor even without in-floor heating.  Carpets have a relatively short life before they need replaced and they get dirty in a lot of ways you could clean if it was wood or tile but not if it was carpet, staining and etc.  Also carpet only really looks good for the first couple years its in the house if you're lucky.

    @lnxw48a1 @bob @iliana@cybre.space @xj9@social.sunshinegardens.org Biometrics is not any measure of security, and anything which requires actual security here, such as the government and especially DND and CSEC, don't use them.  

    Biometrics has been pressed into service as "security" because storing them gives the data giants a virtual treasure trove of deeply personal information about you, and they are more reliable a way to tie multiple profiles from a single person.  Their use has nothing to do with security.

    @lnxw48a1 Uber's big problem is they treat their drivers like complete shit and I'm surprised anyone works for them anymore.  They are also not profitable and lose money every month, they're held up by investors and government subsidies, not cash flow.  They can only "compete" when they don't have to make those fares profitable. I hope the recent labour action gets Uber drivers better pay, but I'm pessimistic.

    One would have hoped taxi companies would see the competition and improve the quality of their own service, but in general that hasn't been the case.

    A TV production company made Twitter delete a tweet pointing at an article about a leak of unreleased TV shows. Then @EFF tweeted about those events, and the production company made Twitter take that down too: https://u.fsf.org/2t4

      EFF’s Tweet About an Overzealous DMCA Takedown Is Now Subject to an Overzealous Takedown
      from Electronic Frontier Foundation
      Get ready for a tale as good as anything you’d see on television. Here’s the sequence of events: the website TorrentFreak publishes an article about a leak of TV episodes, including shows from the network Starz. TorrentFreak tweets its article, Starz sends a copyright takedown notice. TorrentFreak writes about the takedown, including a comment from EFF. EFF tweets the article about the takedown and the original article. EFF’s tweet…gets hit with a takedown.

    @lnxw37a2 cloud hosting is extremely cost inefficient compared to just colocating even a consumer level computer with 1 or 2TB drive ... its ridiculous.

    Why do people insist on "cloud" storage rather than just getting a machine that actually meets their needs?

    There is no such thing as the cloud.  Just other people's computers.

    As always, you only get legal advice by hiring a real lawyer, so don't depend on anyone else's opinions of what a law means.

    CDA -- opinion of someone that claims to be a lawyer (not me) -- https://www.socalinternetlawyer.com/user-generated-content-legal-issues/ [socal internet lawyer . com]

    "Generally speaking, a site is not liable for user-generated content. Sites like Yelp, Facebook and Google+ would be unable to function if this were the case. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provides the protection and reads in part:

    'No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.'

    If a site is not a publisher, then claims such ranging from defamation to slander cannot be asserted against it."

    Further down, the author discusses some exceptions.

    You never know what demons someone is wrestling with when you interact with them online, especially if you have never met with them.  Be gentle.

    Caveat to that: You don't correct anyone by just telling them they're wrong.  Contradiction is not a discussion.

    I have no tolerance for people harassing anyone regardless of the supposed moral high ground they do or do not have.  There are people who denegrate real harassment by calling simply disagreement harassment, sure, but to pretend there aren't people being dicks and actually harassing people online is to be either incredibly naive, or willfully blind of the world around you.

    There is the very noble and laudable idea that people should reach out to others and try to offer them respectful human dialogue, as opposed to hatred, and I'm definitely on that side of the fence myself, having been actively oppressed in my early years for belonging to a minority, hated group (homosexuals)  But its also worth noting, acknowledging, and respecting, that no one has an obligation to anyone, and they shouldn't have to carry anyone's burden but their own.

    This isn't a polar yes/no thing.  The reaction to harassment is not to harass harassers.  If you commit a sin to stop a sin, the number of sinners has remained constant.  Either ignore them or try to correct them.

    Reminder that letting Microsoft do exactly what it's doing now with the shell shit is why the kernel stuck to GPLv2 and not AGPL.

    @silvally Lyft and Uber are predatory, exploitative businesses that can only exist in their current state if drivers work for peanuts with no benefits.  The don't deserve to survive.
