Apparently my health insurance premium is going up 50% this year, so if you’d like to contribute to my employer-sponsored health plan: https://www.citationneeded.news/signup

@Moss @futurebird I don't think they were talking about "canceling" people back when they were speaking Middle English

@danieldk @Schouten_B It's hardly an independent organization. That's similar to claiming BBC is not state media. A state funded and controlled organization is part of the state.

NLnet is also heavily government funded by the Netherlands and EU. It's providing many millions of euros in funding to /e/. /e/ is one of the main origins attacks on GrapheneOS especially efforts to mislead people about what it provides and convince people it's not for regular people but rather criminals.

I once worked in a factory making a famous chocolate bar. Hygiene was terrible - mud and even blood would regularly find its way onto the products. Now I'll happily eat food I've dropped on the floor. People think I'm gross, but knowing what I know I can't bring myself to care.

I don't know why but I notice, and am annoyed by, certain kinds of phatic communication. Most recently:

"Thanks for being on the show."

"Thanks for having me."

There are so many other ways to do this. Why not mix it up?

This is the least of our problems, obviously. I should just let it go. But once I notice it, I can't unhear.

The worst one for me? "Perfect" as the coda for any retail transaction.

I don't know what to do without myself now that #drawtober is over.

@SasquatcherGeneral@idlethumbs.social @toolbear@tech.lgbt @alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com welcome to the USA where voting in the general is harm reduction most of the time.

Talarico leaned towards the right on his rhetoric on this one issue.

Paxton moved as far right as he could with his actions.

Which is more harmful?

Also, being an asshole to people over the net does not persuade them at all.

@meta_bene FYI: Bei mir sogar noch extremer: ich habe bis vor Juni gar keinen Kaffee getrunken, da er mir nicht schmeckt. Im Juni habe ich zufällig mal Espresso probiert und fand darüber zur Kaffeeliebe.
Ich denke, das ist wohl recht ungewöhnlich.

@loke
at this point Kent is a cohost moreso than a guest. I'm travelling this week but sometime this month in your preference of slot (the Tuesday-night-in-the-Americas one is better known) is eminently possible.

Binance hasn’t REcovered $6B+, it’s COVERING it (reimbursing customers from company funds). Some was frozen, but Binance is not likely to recover even half.

Bad headlines like this are a big part of why I started covering crypto. Generalist reporters on deadline far too often end up repeating company spin.

@GrapheneOS @danieldk Do you have a concrete section of the document where it does that?

@intrepidhero Oh yeah. Active flash flood warnings in that whole area. Wonder how they are handling that....

Binance’s Changpeng Zhao threatening Elon Musk that he will nuke $1 billion in SpaceX shares

(Remember it was CZ threatening to dump FTX’s FTT token that helped kick off FTX’s collapse)
