Want to catch up on the most recent FL attacks on higher ed?

Here's a good piece on the most recent FL/DeSantos bills. The piece makes the case that opponents need to take up the issue of "competence" and "expertise" since the free speech argument is getting limited traction.

Web hosting giant GoDaddy made headlines this month when it disclosed that a multi-year breach allowed intruders to steal company source code, siphon customer and employee login credentials, and foist malware on customer websites. Media coverage understandably focused on GoDaddy's admission that it suffered three different cyberattacks over as many years at the hands of the same hacking group.  But it's worth revisiting how this group typically got in to targeted companies: By calling employees and tricking them into navigating to a phishing website.

This might seem like news to some of y'all, but any #exvangelical will tell you this example of misogyny is common, pervasive and overt throughout church culture.

Why is it so hard to be a good maintainer?

I have worked on my open-source project day and night for several years. Probably even more than I should. I'm trying to satisfy everyone.

But then there is precisely the one type of user that takes the fun out of the project for me personally. These people love to discuss but have no insight when you try to explain to them several times that it is impossible and, in the end, you will be personally abused.

A reminder for people in the back: The First Amendment says the government can't pass laws to stop free speech. Says nothing about there being no consequences for this stupid, racist, misogynistic shit you might say. Like, for example, your distributor dropping your comic strip like it was warm maggot-laden feces because you're a racist, misogynistic douchenozzle.

@peter perhaps in hindsight it was not a brilliant strategy to let people here scream "go back to Twitter" at all the newcomers

@hughster @peter it’s dummies like us who just do this for shits and giggles that have a dwindling number of valid ethical reasons to be there

@hughster @peter yeah there are so many people dependent on that place for a variety of really valid reasons, and they definitely get a pass from me for still being there, but if they’re not cultivating a Plan B, welp

@bikepedantic @peter I do still have sympathy for many individuals genuinely dependent on the thing for their own social contact needs, etc. who might already have tried to leave but failed.

I don't have as much sympathy for anti-fascist groups and anti-far-right activists fully aware of what the site is now but refuse to leave or even try.

@peter seriously tho, it’s so rare that there’s such a direct and simple way to take money from a nazi (just stop posting, he’ll get less ad revenue) and most people can’t/won’t because FOMO. Real profiles in courage moment playing out in real time.

The Sony Reader app for PC and Mac will no longer be available for download after March 31, 2023. This is the app that lets folks with a Sony eBook Reader transfer content to and from their devices. If you download before then it'll continue to work, but this is another nail in the coffin of Sony's eReader business. https://gizmodo.com/sony-e-reader-software-delisted-amazon-kindle-e-ink-kob-1850162635

I am seeing evidence that deactivated Twitter handles are being reused within about a month of deactivation. If you're leaving Twitter, lock your account, delete your tweets and sign out of all devices, rather than deleting your account entirely.
