@briankrebs I mostly agree (especially about the first and the last items) but not with everything.

1) Software liability - no, just no. Yes, buggy software sucks. But imposing liabilities will severely hamper software development and the progress in this area. Companies will be playing safe, avoid making changes as much as possible, and raise the prices for everyone, in order to cushion any future fines for flaws found in their software.

Big oil = Big tobacco.... both knew the danger heir products were doing & hid it while arguing the science was mistaken.

If you wanted a reason not to trust the corporate world (many Im sure are already well past this point), this would look like a good one.

Matt Gaetz was accused of sexual misconduct, drug use, and improper interactions with lobbyists during his time in Congress.

The House investigated these allegations, but Trump’s pick for attorney general really doesn’t want you to see the bipartisan report.

That’s where we come in. Email your representative and demand the immediate release of the Gaetz report. https://act.indivisible.org/sign/ethics-committee-report-gaetz?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

Just discovered this really great tool for PeerTube called Sepia Search. It’s a search engine that indexes PeerTube instances all in one place.

I tried it out and it immediately found my videos with logical key-phrases. And it’s super fast. It also enables filtering by video, channel, and playlist.

Ignorance and disinformation about science kills. We saw this with the GOP and Trump administration during the heights of the pandemic and we're going to see it again.

The Israeli army demolished the office of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem on Thursday, a local official said.

“Israeli bulldozers brought down the building, through which the UN agency runs the daily needs of residents,” Nehad al-Shaweeh, who heads a local service committee in the camp, told Anadolu.

The 'Woke Agenda' is actually just Human Rights. Every time someone says 'woke agenda', mentally substitute 'human rights' and the conversation will become clearer.

Trump has now announced the merciless Tom Homan as his new [quote:] "border tzar".

Homan has promised "the biggest deportation operation this country has ever seen".

There will be zero empathy as the trains are filled with human beings who committed the crime of not being white enough for Trump.

Truly an appalling choice.

#Introduction #Tech #webdevelopment #indiedev

Hello world. Un peu trainé les pieds mais là pour tenter progressivement de passer par un (des ?) outils alternatifs à Twitter.

Ici pour échanger autour des modèles ouverts et de l'éducation à ces enjeux d'ouverture.

Si les ricains ont toujours 5 ans d'avance, ça pue aussi pour nous ❤️

Yo, I'm Grumpmeister; a mobile app developer during the day, but gamer at night!

I've been gaming since as long as I can remember, and mostly enjoy the bad and obscure stuff, like #philipscdi .

While I'm on a hiatus, I'm also known to #speedrun , mostly these "bad" games.

Recently I've picked up the hobby of visiting #themeparks and riding #RollerCoasters

And these passions I'm currently combining with #streaming #PlanetCoaster2

So, nice to meet you all!
