"Excuse me, I am a time traveler but my machine malfunctioned, so I'm not sure when I am."
"It's 2020."
"Which year of 2020?"
"What do you mean?"
"Ah, so this must be the first year of 2020."

Ciao!
Con alcuni amici di #Mastodon stiamo progettando una #Associazione di promozione della cultura digitale, il software libero, il diritto all'opt-out dalla profilazione commerciale e per tante altre cose che ci migliorano la vita.
Se vuoi contribuire, puoi rispondere a questo toot oppure vedere direttamente il documento di progettazione, che sta qui:

The hacker could have done that to ANY account... he would have made much more money with extortion/ransom rather than a lame bitcoin scam. Probably not the usual criminal then.

People don't like us.
Too weird.
And we're not part of American remorse (yet). No coscience to wash.
So they don't need to brag about being inclusive, with us.

security these days.Unfortunately /dev/null is not a directory.
That's something I considered to introduce in #Jehanne though, as an alternative to a `remove` syscall.
It has some advantages, since you could ask the operating system to remove a arbitrary complex tree with a fixed (and small) number of syscalls, but it would badly break error reporting.

Anche recentemente è stata raccontata la favoletta degli aumenti degli smartphone a causa dell'equo compenso.
Qui due confronti interessanti su iphone11 128g in Francia e Italia.
Compenso più alto in Francia e prezzo inferiore.
Compenso più basso in Italia e prezzo più alto.

Ricordate che se un progetto è gratuito allora pagate con tutti i vostri dati e indirettamente quelli dei vostri familiari e amici, non solo per "mantenere il servizio gratuito" - i vostri dati portano loro un enorme profitto quasi interamente esentasse.
Usate prodotti liberi senza profilazione e se potete donate qualcosa per mantenerli liberi, attivi ed efficienti.
Bastano anche pochi centesimi alla settimana per finanziare un progetto libero come #Mastodon:

Votes "useless and silly" but as an European, I don't think this explains well my opinion.
I see this as
1. Highly hipocrital
2. Yet another form of American imperialism that strumentalize the pain and anger USA inflicted to its black communities to impose its own culture.
I think that this is a very bad behaviour.

Also with higher latitudes, the amount of daily darkness grows with bad effects on mind's health (and life in general, not only for humans).

@sjb @g Blacklist and whitelist don't have their origins in racial matters as far as I can tell. Their origins seem to be related to the religious concepts of "black" meaning something bad and "white" meaning something pure or holy. The earliest known uses are from the 17th century.

@matteoscordino @markosaric @imacrea It’s very much in Silicon Valley’s interests that you interpret it that way. When they spend millions to lobby the European Union for favourable conditions for startups (which put sustainable, non VC-backed small tech businesses at a disadvantage), the difference becomes very important.
