A retired engineer and longtime social justice advocate, I founded and ran the FaxLeft fax network in the Greater Toronto Area. I am currently involved with a number of community organizations.
One of the sites I maintain was recently hacked. I was able to get it back up and running in a few hours after detecting the attack. The worse problem is that Google's Deceptive Site list keeps listing it as dangerous. If Google wants to keep a list like that, shouldn't they also have an obligation to ensure that sites are removed in a timely fashion once the problems have been fixed? The attack did little damage but Google's listing has effectively kept the site "down" for over a day now.
Is it just me or is the main use of AI these days to generate ludicrous graphics for fakebook memes?

Trump urges Americans to just remember whatever bullshit let them support Iraq War

Right to Repair: modern bathroom faucets all have a plastic flow restricter disk in them that lasts various periods before it inevitably fails. The other parts are metal and last indefinitely but that disk always fails. But can it be replaced? Easily if anyone would sell it. But no one does. Instead you are expected to junk the entire nozzle assembly.
Why don't the right wing recognize that they are voting for people who will do them harm? It's because their world view tells them that doesn't matter. Their view of morality is all about sex but their view of leadership allows them to excuse the failings of those they elect. Their rules are weapons to be used against the "bad people" and don't apply to the :good people" they elect, no matter what they do.After all, they worship a god who has killed millions directly. :(
