@zleap Currently the IRC bridge is broken. Sorry for the inconvenience.
@eff +1 to this even though I am in the UK.

Tech giants need to be pushed to make it easy for users to leave, or to use other tools to interact with their data without leaving entirely. Tell your representatives to pass the ACCESS Act https://act.eff.org/action/tell-your-representative-to-support-a-more-interoperable-future

I have always strongly said guns dont kill people anymore than spoons make people fat.
@freemo @lucifargundam @Chrisleon27
+1 to that, on a similar note, not sure if this my view here is right.
Even though I am no way a gun expert, i would argue guns don't kill people , people kill people with guns, either intentionally or through misuse.
Same as cars, leave the hand break off, car rolls down hill and kills someone,
I think in San Francisco it is a requirement to turn the wheels in a certain way when parking so that does not happen on hills should the breaks fail.

Caddy now owns port 80 and 443 on hestia, with Apache being reverse-proxied. Hopefully this will make it easy to set up other Web applications that want to run their own servers.

Seems like it kinda goes down to how people use social media,
which going by this thread is probably linked to countries, culture and the attitude of that countries population generally.
if we in the UK have the issue with people sexually harassing people, racist abuse towards football (soccer) players online, then the issue is deeper down.
The internet just lets people be nasty to people and hide behind a screen as you would probably get a massive punch if you said it to most people to their face.

@freemo @lucifargundam @Chrisleon27 I agree there, the are just part of a wider problem in our social structure.
How we feel about how we look but worry about how others see us,
It seems that the issue is more regional then , I think the UK is perhaps closer to the USA on these things, maybe due to the common language of the influencers.

Facebook grilled over mental-health impact on kids

How many more inquiries, reports, research studies are needed before we actually come up with a solution that holds big tech to account.
@freemo @lucifargundam @Chrisleon27 Mental health services in the UK are under huge strain too.

That logic breaks down, even if there may be some truth in it. Psychiatrists ultimately are the ones who prescribe psych meds. The doctors who prescribe psych meds are just as inaccessible to the masses as those that provide talk therapy. In fact talk therapy is probably more accessible as there are affordable, albeit out of pocket, online services.
@freemo @lucifargundam @Chrisleon27
It seems that in the USA the big pharma companies call the shots so they want people to get to the point where they are prescribed medication, therapy is probably more effective but does not generate income for big companies.
Granted that is somewhat speculative. But would make an interesting thread.
