"Google isn’t the company that we should have handed the Web over to"

"Google has on a number of occasions used its might to deploy proprietary tech"

Jokes about murdering 'capitalists', whatever you may think of them, are a) politics posts and b) posts about death/killing. They should be CWed, always, no matter how hot a take you think they are.

I admit I don't see a lot of humour in "bloodily purge the elite" jokes, as a historian (it's amazing how the "elite" description stretches when put into practice). But even if you think it's hilarious fun, it's still killing-politics and you should still cw it.

:edge: :google: « Même si je ne suis pas sûr d'être convaincu que YouTube a été modifié intentionnellement pour ralentir Edge, beaucoup de mes collègues en sont tout à fait convaincus. » Il affirme que les ingénieurs de Microsoft ont contacté YouTube par rapport à ce problème, mais la filiale de Google a rejeté leur demande de supprimer la div vide cachée, sans donner d'explications.

(2/2) Of course, the only plutonium ever on site was contained in irradiated fuel elements, slugs of uranium metal canned in magnesium alloy. Once unloaded, these were held about a hundred days, then sent on to Windscale (on the Irish Sea) for reprocessing. Only there could Pu have found a path to the outside world.

I dread the prospect of going through my Google+ archive and reposting the good stuff on my blog, but only if I haven’t already done it back then. It seems so pointless. And at the same time, I feel that I need to do it out of self respect. If my blog is an extension of my memory, my identity, then loosing some of it feels like a partial amnesia.
