@Fractalfarmer @crowgirl here I am, privileged white male, living in a land where it was cheap or free and easy for me to choose permanent infertility for me when the time was right, and where abortion is legal, inexpensive or free, scratching my head trying to work out what is worse:
a) abortion is illegal,
b) providing advice about abortion is "aiding" abortion, is illegal and subject to a search warrant that the court system will actually issue, or,
c) that these warnings are tweeted out with Meta rather than Facebook or Insta, because I think that the target audience won't associate the corporation with the app.
The answer is, of course
d) all of the above.
This is a warning about Meta and Threads.
Please boost this here and outside of Mastodon so that pregnant people in the United States are informed that using Meta/Threads is dangerous.
I'm unlikely to get pregnant but I have ZERO presence on Meta/Facebook/Instagram/Threads as a matter of principle.
Hosted what might be the first #lemmy AMA (at least, first since the #redditMigration) yesterday, on the topic of HTCPCP: https://lemmy.world/post/1086238
Lots of great questions, and good material for my talk's FAQ section; now to work on the slides some more...
Let’s get the AMAs kicked off on Lemmy, shall we. Almost ten years ago now, I wrote RFC 7168 [https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7168], “Hypertext Coffeepot Control Protocol for Tea Efflux Appliances” which extends HTCPCP [https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2324] to handle tea brewing. Both Coffeepot Control Protocol and the tea-brewing extension are joke Internet Standards, and were released on Apr 1st (1998 and 2014). You may be familiar with HTTP error 418, “I’m a teapot”; this comes from the 1998 standard. I’m giving a talk on the history of HTTP and HTCPCP at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin later this month, and I need an FAQ section; AMA about the Internet and HTTP. Let’s try this out!
me: do you sell ducks?
him: yes, but they're going quick
me: ok I'll take one
[later]
duck: quick
me: I see
