Hey #Baltimore friends! Do ride a bike in the city? Are you mad as hell about illegal sewer drain grates like these that endanger cyclists? Do you want to help beta test a mobile web app for collecting data on bad grates? Hit me up for early access and help me make it as good as it can be!

Great Advice

PLEASE if you run or used to run a fedi instance, and that instance shut down and it was running on an shared VPS
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE remove the DNS records for the old domain (and pref. keep the domain renewed)
when you release a VPS the IP still gets allocated to someone else eventually, and if that still points to your domain a lot of nasty stuff can happen including cert hijacking and fedi impersonation.
if you ever run a fedi instance, you essentially can never let go of the domain, and you must ensure it's clean, otherwise the instance can potentially become fedi malware and there definitely are vulnerabilities in how AP is implemented (we just don't know how yet.)

Legal expert explains why there's no evidence to convict anyone — much less impeach Biden https://www.rawstory.com/biden-impeachment-evidence/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
Imagine what we could do if that money was directed for public good.
Proper healthcare for millions
Proper education for millions
A judicial system that actually works properly
Decent investment in science / technology research and development
etc, etc

@Jaden2 Had to deal with it online just yesterday. Got called the n word and a man out of nowhere after posting about having a bad day.
Blocked them and moved on, but yt ppl need to stop sometimes lol.
Offline I’ve been fairly lucky in adulthood with only a few minor incidents, but faced a ton of racism growing up in a majority white neighborhood in TX.

Them having emotion is not even in debate for me, that is quite clear from the moment you interact with them.

I like a President who joins the picket lines. Way to show solidarity, Joe!
@ai6yr @accretionist @info_activism
Good point I just hope more people wake up to this, we really do need regulation, but that won't stop it either.

Kerbal Space Program 2 has a big pre-launch issue: Windows registry stuffing
Devs say a hotfix is incoming for the code, if not for the early access vibes.
A good reason to make sure more people understand how to recognise and counter mis information and find accurate evidence based information
@info_activism have good work shop resources for this.
@freemo @freepeoplesfreepress @lowqualityfacts
Yes I agree here, I think there is also a lot of evidence to suggest they have emotion esp if a group member dies or is killed the rest of the group seem to change their behaviour

We absolutely dont give animals the credit for how intelligent they really are.. The more I learn about animals the more I realize we underestimate them.

The government's new attack on Amazon could completely restructure the giant https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/26/regulators-launch-suit-to-upend-amazons-business-empire-00118158
Is this decline taking in to account what the UK government has just allowed to happen. ?

So DMS and Ch_4 I see CH4 mentioned in the paper on this, so it looks like that has now been confirmed too I guess.
I really do get the impression that a proportion of the community are toxic and others just LET it happen, they may be too scared to call it out.
Perhaps the bad actors and others and are rude and unhelpful should take a look at the news, Russell brand is being called out and investigated for sexual crimes, Lawrance fox from GB News in the UK has been suspended due to a comment he made,
Victims are starting to find they are actually stronger and are calling out people. This needs to happen in the software community so that ALL feel welcome, women especially don't need to use neutral user names to avoid abuse because they are women, and people can contribute to projects and as you say receive proper recognition and credit for doing so. If we fail to do that, we will lose contributors, and we need contributors to projects.
I agree with your comments, if you find a bug or problem, make a contribution then you should get the credit if nothing else you can then be contacted with regard to any follow up questions or issues that arise from this.
I am going to cc in the FSF as this is something the community needs to get a grip on perhaps.
