"It’s such a weird thing to think about: the idea that we have destroyed Scott Adams’ reputation, simply by observing that he has said the things he said. That you should be able to hold onto your income stream after advocating a racially separatist state, as if being a racist fuckwit puts you in a protected class." @JuliusGoat https://armoxon.substack.com/p/the-case-for-shunning
“Is there nothing anybody would say that would cause you to cease your association with them? If so, then what you are is not a proponent of free speech, but lazy amorality.“
This piece is so good.

My dream is that antiracists learn to practice as much solidarity as racists do. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/02/26/elon-musk-scott-adams-dilbert-racist/
Musk wades in to the Dilbert guy fiasco, identifies the real racists as “the media”

“The billionaire’s comments continue a pattern of Musk expressing more concern about the ‘free speech’ of people who make racist or antisemitic comments than about the comments themselves.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/02/26/elon-musk-scott-adams-dilbert-racist/
I've been asked what Mastodon client I use on my Android phone. It's the web app's mobile view in Firefox.
When I have the choice, I ALWAYS prefer the mobile-web version even if an app has more functionality. Most apps spy on their users, and my mobile browser is pretty well locked down to prevent that.

That two distinct people thought this "gotcha apologetic" was clever is hard for me to accept. How can anybody be such a shallow thinker??

"Can you explain this gap in your resume?"
Yes. Life is about more than constant and meaningless toil for 40-50 years and a desolate twilight of failed ambitions. The social contract is broken and the system is a lie. You and I are both trapped in the same Sisyphean hell, where no amount working harder or longer will ever truly grant the rewards we were promised. The real question is, why are there no gaps in YOUR resume?
“…”
Errr, freelancing. I was freelancing.
Weeks after Ohio rail derailment, President Biden has no plans to visit https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2023-02-26/biden-east-palestine-railroad-derailment (Me: I have had it with crap headlines... The Mayor asked him not to visit... plenty of working agency heads have since... Mayor said a Presidential visit is not needed... they are getting the help they need!)
I just got around to reading this today, and it is probably one of the best articles I have read in a while. If you disagree with it, feel free to shun me!
(Oh, and while reading it, remember that the #MuskRat supports Adams. So if you agree with it, maybe shunning the #birdsite would be an appropriate response.)
The Case For Shunning
People like Scott Adams claim they're being silenced. But what they actually seem to object to is being understood.

Hhas anyone managed to make #SSH auth work with yubikeys, #FIDO2, and the *no-touch-required* option? (i.e., without having to touch the #yubikey upon connection). It's still eluding me…
PS yes, I've both created the key with "-O no-touch-required" and added "no-touch-required" to authorized_keys, still nothing…
