@DannyBehar @davemark @gruber still not up. I've been checking TED website regularly and they seem to be milking it and are posting only 1-2 TED talk videos per day. The last TED conference had about 80 talks so this might take a while.
LOLOL Gmail is adding blue checks for verified domains...
I wonder if the effect will be that recipients think the sender paid $8/mo for Gmail Blue.

@chrismessina lol, yes, it certainly doesn't sound like the wisest choice of an icon to put it mildly.
Friendly reminder to stop asking small content creators why they deserve a dollar a month and to start asking billionaires why they deserve billions of dollars.

I see a lot of criticism of #Bluesky in my #mastodon TL. Much of it **very** angry and resentful. I don't have access to Bluesky so can't judge first hand but I don't doubt that much of this criticism is valid. However, what I see very little of is any kind of reflection of **why** people are choosing Bluesky (even in its very early stage of development) over Mastodon. After 6 months here I see a number of big deficiencies which as far as I know are not being addressed. Moreover, I recall that in the first migration wave there were a number of people including journalists who articulated those deficiencies but were shouted down by ideologues. The result: they left.
This is not the way. Mastodon needs to adapt and do it quickly.

@kevinrothrock I think they still need a pretext for using WMDs.
"Elon Musk has threatened to reassign NPR's Twitter account to "another company."
Handing over established accounts to third parties poses a serious risk of impersonation and could imperil a company's reputation, said social media experts."

@kevinrothrock an attack on Dear Leader can be used as a pretext to justify *anything*. like using WMDs. or for an assassination attempt on Zelensky while he is abroad.
@kevinrothrock do tell why. most of us peasants don't have access to it yet.
@trinsec yes, I should have figured it out sooner.
Another variant to be concerned about after the official end of the Covid emergency.

He's right of course.
I'm resigned to the likely reality that my life may not be nearly as long or as healthy as I expected it to be in 2019. We *could* try to solve this problem together, with solutions like improved indoor ventilation, but we have chosen denial over action.
