@quimgil definately. And I think that is a good reason for countries to want their social networks to be local. It wouldn't stop it, but would at least give them some ability to notice it.

I imagine if they didn't have them already the issues with the Russians in the 2016 elections have motivated the CIA to build up a similar capacity.

One of the arguments for decentralized federated social networking should be that these efforts get reported on because Facebook is a US company and the actions are to effect US politics. If the CIA is trying to effect other country's elections using Facebook do you think it would be announced? — https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/31/us/politics/facebook-political-campaign-midterms.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

@chuck been thinking about that with my RAW photos. Might need to convert them to DNG just to make them openable in the future.

Thought, open formats get dropped as well. Just because I *can* go and build a plugin to read the file doesn't mean I *will*.

We often talk about how specialized media is working to divide America, probably doesn't help, but seems like the Russians are interested in it too. — https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-were-sharing-3-million-russian-troll-tweets/

It is sad to see Trump effectively handing the courts to religious conservatives for their support so he can stay in power. — https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/31/us/politics/trump-judges.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

Hate to continually use CI to test fixes to this integration test, but since it requires network resources it actually runs much faster on the cloud than in my house.

git commit --amend && git push --force

@danrabbit aren't you guys just pulling in the Deb from Ubuntu? It would seem like that would make the most sense for Debs.

@darius there is some work on documenting the different implementations and how they're built here: https://ethercalc.org/fediverse-stacks

What makes this mind-blowingly stupid is that it favors old wealth over new wealth as well. So besides only helping the wealthy, it is really only helping the wealthy that aren't taking significant risks and seeing high growth rates. — https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/30/us/politics/trump-tax-cuts-rich.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

Sitting in a lobby with ESPN SportsCenter on the TV. There are two women discussing NBA basketball with each other. No men. Too rare, but awesome to see some progress.

@n8 for me it comes down to that at one point I thought he was apolitical, just searching for the truth. Then it became more and more clear that he's just a dude with an political agenda.

I like to think that he changed, but it probably was more me being naive.

@hergertme wow, crazy picture. The truck must have destroyed almost everything.

Helpful infographics for understanding US politics regarding Russian election meddling. — https://medium.com/the-nib/reason-for-the-treason-1df24d23b405?source=rss----e74de0cedea9---4

I really like Chipotle, but perhaps not as much as they want me to. — https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/29/business/media/lifestyle-brands-marketing.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

@platypus Description: YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

@liw all my branches would be "Hmm, wonder if it still works if I change this"

Monday is trying to figure out the name of the intuitively named branch that I was working on last week.

@n8 I only use gopher.
