I saw someone say Elon Musk is worth $185 billion.

Which is absurd. Elon Musk HAS $185 billion in assets at the moment, maybe. But that’s not what he’s WORTH.

If something happened to Elon, we wouldn’t pay $185 billion to get another one.

I will add that masking/distancing/vaccination is all good, but what we REALLY need is forced PM2.5 air filtration in all public spaces. Schools, hospitals, universities, shops, restaurants, cinemas: on trains, buses, planes, and passenger ships. And ESPECIALLY schools and hospitals. These premises have always been viral disease amplifiers, but filtration stops it spreading at source.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

Search seems to be the worst I ever remember.

Trying to find an old article (15-30 yrs) in a publication that I know existed seems almost impossible these days.

What gives? What are people's go to search engines these days for historical news/blog archives?

Another design consideration re: Mastodon is that it works well for ephemeral asynchronous communications, but for many reasons should not be counted on as an archival resource. Media attachments are periodically purged and may not be available after a week, or a month, etc. While some servers may try to preserve content forever, this may be costly and unsustainable. Creators, researchers should treat this as an ephemeral resource and make provisions for self-archiving anything important.

Try to justify this.

Let's please ban leaf blowers.
