š³ļøāššš½The GOP has introduced a bill to EXPEL Palestinians from the United States. I cannot read such things without remembering what happened to my own family after Pearl Harbor. After we and 120,000 other Japanese Americans were incarcerated in prison camps for years, without charge or trial, my own mother was very nearly expelled to Japan because of racial prejudice and hatred. Only the brave actions of a civil rights attorney saved her from being sent away. #NeverAgain
Dan GillmorApple TV+ was a reasonable deal at $69 per year and a little less so at $7/month. It's not a good deal, IMO, at $10/month and $100/year.
So when our annual subscription runs out next spring, we'll just cancel -- as we've done with almost all of the streaming services -- and renew periodically for a month at a time to catch up on service exclusives we really want to watch.
The streamers seem convinced there's no price elasticity in what they offer.
Prove them wrong.

My hot take on #Bluesky after a few days usage:
Pros - a decent #Twitter clone which (currently at least) is nice and friendly, early-era birdsite vibes. The custom feeds are pretty cool.
Cons - no hashtags (feels like #Threads ), terrible search, non-stop shitposting.

Agree with much of this. Online creators and influencers aren't becoming mainstream superstars because they're just regular people usually appealing to the lowest common denominator, and often achieve success via tasteless, or outright sociopathic grifting.

I've been terrible at backing up my computers for a long time, largely because most of my important data is synced to the cloud or a Git repo.
My #DevonTHINK databases are becoming increasingly crucial so I thought it was time to make proper backups - trying #Duplicati on #Mac which seems to be a nice #OpenSource solution.
Currently I'm just backing up to an iCloud drive folder, but it supports Amazon #S3 so will set that up when I have time.
