To those upset about bombing Iran: You’re upset about bombing a nation who refuses to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, is hiding 200-400 nukes, blocks UN inspectors, & hides their nuclear facility behind human shields in a residential area?
You’re upset about taking out such a threat?
Ok—well everything stated above is true of Israel—not Iran. Remember that as you hear faux outrage about Iran defending itself from Israel’s illegal attack by targeting Israel’s illegal nuclear program.
i haven't mentioned this a lot on here, but: i routinely do steep discounts on mixing to help queer people, people of color, and women — i.e., people who don't have the built-in advantages that people who look like me have in the music world
two thoughts:
1) if the above describes you, and you're serious about making a career of your music, and i can help, reach out 🖤
2) if you're doing well financially and want to help support/sponsor me in doing this, reach out
from each according etc 🤝
If you’re tired of feeling like there’s nothing that you can do to help make the world a better place besides voting, I’m here to tell you that there is…
Volunteer.
Food banks, soup kitchens, senior centers, blood banks, animal shelters, and more. Find a place where you can be in the service of others. Where you can give back to the community that you live in.
It’s a great way to get out of your own head. Serve others, and serve the better parts of yourself in return
So with the revelation that the owner of a big Fedi server is a target of a lawsuit, and that if things go badly the server may find itself seized—
I realize that that users on that instance follow users on my instance, so there are going to be semiprivate posts of mine that may fall into the hands of people—law enforcement, data brokers—who are not beholden to any Fedi Admin Code of Honour.
(I already do not post about my crimes on Fedi, if I were the kind to do crimes.)
Server seizure is just not a part of the ActivityPub threat model. What if it was? How would it change the protocol to protect data at rest, or perhaps not even keep it at rest on a server but defer to the originating server?
End-to-end encryption [user-to-user, not server-to-server] could be part of the answer, but it need not be the whole answer.
I welcome considered thoughts, so any response I see within an hour of my posting this will be ignored.
