Hey! Do you live in #SanFrancisco? You should probably know that TOMORROW 11/29/2022, the Board of Supervisors take a first vote on new policy that would authorize the SFPD to deploy deadly force via an armed robot. Maybe you should tell your supervisor this is obviously a terrible idea.

Can you pass the iron, please? Oh, here's the sodium back.

The only thing I know for sure personally is that I have a close friend who left Russia because of the draft and doesn't plan on returning with his wife- in fear of execution. He's been working remotely for years and the other week I asked him how he was holding up. He said he was job hunting as well.

> Oh, I'm sorry. Did you lose your job?
< No, I just lost my country.

Despite everything, was not expecting that. Guess I was ignorant or something.
=============================

Other than that, I don't personally know anyone directly involved.

NOTE: If anyone wants to be added to this list just let me know.

Ok so this seems to be most of the people who publicly stated they had interest in developing the "United Federation of Instances". All of you should have gotten the first draft and opinions were heard and discussed.

Today I will be moving the first draft over to git (either git.qoto.org or gitlab.com). From there I will encourage each of you to provide suggestions as to edits there, and raise discussions in issues. This way we will be public and have an open transparent forum that keeps the changes on record.

While public feedback is being debated on the proposal I will begin a rough draft on the complete by laws (which will try to represent the broader points in the proposal document). That too will be on gitlab and open to discussion

From there as the movement grows we can begin discussing launching it.

I suggest all communication on the fediverse about this use the hashtag so it is easily searchable.

Since this is a public post I will now share the link to the early draft here, please keep in mind everything here is open for discussion so if anyone doesnt like the current direction, please speak up, we want you to be heard.

Cringe Textbook Assumptions 

@GNUxeava
Going off of a past life's experience with textbooks, I'd wager it's saying that Android isn't as secure because it uses more open source software.

@jacklaridian@nerdculture.de
This assumes the audience doesn't already want to eat you.

@marathon0
I thought Netherlands- i could be wrong. I'll have to ping @freemo

@GNUxeava
This can go either of 2 ways depending on the textbook's point of view. This is academia- not reality.

@marathon0
unless im blind- i dont recognize any on that list...

>>There is moisture on the inside of my windows
<< Condensation? That's normal.

>> the heat smells like brown sugar on fire.
<< Sweet heat?
"If there is a sweet smell coming from your car, then it's most likely leaking coolant (or antifreeze, for anyone that lives where it gets below freezing). Leaking coolant is a major problem. If your vehicle gets too low on coolant/antifreeze, it will overheat"

>>Is there a possibility my heater core is going out?
<<
"Here are the most common reasons why your car heater isn't blowing hot air. Low coolant: Whether caused by a leak or water evaporation, low coolant is the most common source of poor heater output. Thermostat: A stuck-open thermostat prevents the engine (and coolant) from heating up."

>>And if so, is that the "throw the entire car away" repair?
<< No, but definitely something to take care of asap.
