I just got around to reading this today, and it is probably one of the best articles I have read in a while. If you disagree with it, feel free to shun me!
(Oh, and while reading it, remember that the #MuskRat supports Adams. So if you agree with it, maybe shunning the #birdsite would be an appropriate response.)
The Case For Shunning

Hhas anyone managed to make #SSH auth work with yubikeys, #FIDO2, and the *no-touch-required* option? (i.e., without having to touch the #yubikey upon connection). It's still eluding me…
PS yes, I've both created the key with "-O no-touch-required" and added "no-touch-required" to authorized_keys, still nothing…

Growing up fundy can prime us to feel at home in situations that seek to usurp our autonomy.
SHARED ELEMENTS OF CULTS:
1. Authoritarian control
2. Extremist beliefs
3. Isolation from society
4. Veneration of an individual.
CULT CATEGORIES: Doomsday, Political, Religious, & Sex. An additional group bordering on cult territory is LGATs (Large Group Awareness Trainings), which typically fall under "human potential" or "self-awareness," such as the infamous NXIVM cult. #criticalthinking #cults
The guy whose company was ordered to pay $137 million because workers kept getting called the n-word, and who thinks the pro-segregation Dilbert guy has some good ideas, now says actually it's the media who's racist

"When it all started, we were saying the same phrase that if Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no Ukraine," says Ukrainian Member of Parliament Lesia Vasylenko. "This is existential for us, we will stop existing, I don't want to stop existing." #velshi http://ow.ly/XCZY50N32AU
Well that does it. If I ever had any thoughts about going back to the shitbird site, it sure as hell is never going to happen now, at least not as long as the #MuskRat owns or controls it.
Elon Musk jumped to Scott Adams' defense this morning, after the Dilbert creator said white people should "get the hell away from Black people."
Musk said it's actually the media that is "racist against whites and Asians."

The phrase "government approved book" or "government approved curriculum" should alarm everyone. #Indoctrination is the process of teaching people to accept ideas uncritically. Only presenting one idea and banning & demonizing any idea that counters it meets the definition.
In short, #Florida is seeking to indoctrinate students.
Anecdotally, I feel like #MacOS peaked around Snow Leopard and has slowly succumbed to poorer software quality every year since. I’m talking first-party OS and built-in apps. It feels rickety and unreliable when it used to feel solid as a rock.
