@fesshole Your *friends* secretly switched theirs with new gum.

@thegiddystitcher well quite! And it was quick too.

I got on the Dental Access Portal a few months ago when I first heard about it.

@ArneBab

The people and institutions I believed in are justifying shooting up a synagogue full of people, murdering Jews in the streets of DC and Denver, kicking Jews out of schools, firing them from jobs, vandalizing Jewish places of worship, businesses and homes and more.

Do I care about other issues- sure I do. But I'm not going to celebrate this.

You talk about the neo-Nazi parties and how dangerous they are- but *this is Nazism*.

The people that demand that I say "Oh well yes both sides would march me to the death camps, but one set of Nazis are worse than the other set." are the problem.

@heidilifeldman

You hit the nail on the head regarding the Democratic victories,

"... all recognizably and clearly antifascist, pro-democracy, committed to pluralistic constitutional democracy, rule of law."

These are the things that Americans want.

As I heard one commentator say on msnow, "It wasn't a blue wave. It wasn't a tsunami. It was an asteroid."

Programming isn’t for girls, they told me, and I didn’t care. Programming isn’t for humans, they tell me, and do you think I fucking care?

Signal isn’t federated ^[1][2][3.1]^; it’s decentralized ^[1][2][3.2]^. Though, for all practical purposes, I would generally argue that it’s centralized.

Nothing about any of the protocols we’ve developed requires centralization; it’s entirely possible to build a federated Signal Protocol-based messenger, but I no longer believe that it is possible to build a competitive federated messenger at all. […] [interoperable protocols] [have] taken us pretty far, but it’s undeniable that once you federate your protocol, it becomes very difficult to make changes. And right now, at the application level, things that stand still don’t fare very well in a world where the ecosystem is moving. […] Early on, I thought we’d federate Signal once its velocity had subsided. Now I realize that things will probably never slow down, and if anything the velocity of the entire landscape seems to be steadily increasing. 2. ¶“Stuck in time”. “Federation and control”. ¶6. > An open source infrastructure for a centralized network now provides almost the same level of control as federated protocols, without giving up the ability to adapt. If a centralized provider with an open source infrastructure ever makes horrible changes, those that disagree have the software they need to run their own alternative instead. It may not be as beautiful as federation, but at this point it seems that it will have to do.

@neil How much did you have to pay to find out the colour? 😂

Les gens de #Toulouse ou d'ailleurs (si visio) : pour une proche je cherche un-e psychiatre décent-e et okay de faire des certificats pour un suivi très court + donner le feu vert à une opération chirurgicale liée à une transidentité.

Si vous avez des noms, hésitez pas à me les faire suivre en privé, même si vous êtes pas sûr-e ou que les délais sont un peu longs.

Merci beaucoup

@neil When we had ours done, we were told that power would go off.

A couple of hours in I asked when they would be doing the power off, only to be told they’d already done the work and wouldn’t need to touch the power.

We do not have a UPS or generator…

@mike we will all go through walls for this kid. Not only is he spirited, he seems to be a strong leader, and is always just so grateful and passionate about being in the big game. May he never lose that.

@georgetakei If he went?
