Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.

@Eliot_L @mcc @coracinho and it answers my thought about what why #blacksky can not just fetch on demand.

[in #bluesky unlike #fediverse ] there is no directed delivery; if you want to see replies which are relevant to your messages, you (or someone operating on behalf of you) had better sort through and know about every possible message to find out what messages could be a reply.

Which is bonkers.
@SamanthaJaneSmith I go from big to small
@SamanthaJaneSmith top first step. Even if you could see something like a bent arm or contact, it's probably going to need to come apart to fix anyway.
@gleick it's a Boys Club, not an international organisation

I need the help of the Fediverse! We have two old camcorders that have been sitting around for ages and I am trying to resurrect them.
One is a Canon, it works great but the tape mechanism doesn't fully open, it raises up but the second part doesn't move out to allow tape entry.
The second, a Sanyo, works but just shuts down after around 5 seconds.
Both are powered off the mains using their factory chargers so it's not a battery issue.
Anyone with any ideas?
Thanks, Sammi
@SamanthaJaneSmith 5s shutdown could be a capacitor gone bad, or needs a battery that's finally given up (if ones fitted)
Other one? Likely mechanical, belt or lube gone.
Have you opened them up for a look?
@neil @skylar at the events where we ask for slides in advance, its just in case the presenters machine breaks, is allergic to the projector etc. 99% of the time tweaking at the last minute is OK at #maccSciBar ;-)

Out for a walk today in the old Green & Lovely, where of course it was raining, and came across one of my favorite small Irish things, a “⁊” symbol, or “Tironian et”, seen here in the old Post and Telegraph mark embedded in an access point on a footpath. I wrote a thing ages ago about this symbol and its long history: https://kieranhealy.org/blog/archives/2016/04/08/tironian-notes/
@fesshole 100% chance they know you do this
