Careful. The yaml cult will come after you in a long and formless column, and only self destruct when one of them is a step too far to the left.

The only brits I know have all come over to Canadaland, so all I can offer is best wishes for a speedy transition and a resettling somewhere that feels safe. Promise you’ll update us as to the acclimation process.

Yeah. We joked about the dumb trope where the cheerleader goes down into the dark spooky basement to check on that weird sound with a dodgy flashlight, but then we discovered we’re all apparently the cheerleader.

Wear this face diaper, respect everyone’s personal space and wash your hands properly? We learned this when our TV-nannies showed us MASH and stElsewhere and Scrubs. Too much for us to commit to, though, as if an entire super-nation doesn’t do it every winter.

Yeah. “Who’s in the white House” is the only variable in this equation.

Zoom works for video. I test it a few times a week for a few hours with a few contacts each time.

And a few beer.

It’s a vPub most of the time with some tech thrown in.

I hate to say it, but FB Messenger is reliable for me too : starts well, sounds good, video’s clean, ends cleanly . I need to remind mom how to start that call when it’s with her on her old portal unit, but yeah. Cambridge is the worst thing to happen to good products like M and Portal.

I think I don’t like that Microsoft has access to stored chat messages between kids.

Lenovo: you’re okay with sharing secrets with China.

Network Operations Field Tech. They climb the ladders and debug the cameras. Absolutely toughbook.

It’s okay to still use a hyphen between ‘load’ and ‘balancing’. As a bonus, what you write would then be English, too.

Is that the same as prosody.im ?

That’s the one I’ve been looking at. It seems to be easy, but I haven’t had time to look into it fully.

Now once more in English.

I can’t imagine any governments would look kindly upon internet access being guarded behind a single company’s product.

And time moderating it, especially if they run their own.

Pitch a micro instance with little more than the rfc2142-like addresses emulated on there - info, mayor, council, admin or chat master, whatever - useful for tagging, forwarding on the way in and info dissemination on the way out.

Much less work to run, since outgoing is all gonna be pre-vetted.

And the 302 reponse on the non-ssl port is such a no-brainer.

3b) Simultaneously, they need to be reminded and shown that the public *cannot* see what happens on Twitter or Facebook or it is much harder.

This is a fantastic point that I know I would have left out. If you’re suggesting we should be complete so that the info is there and we’re spelling out the implied difference, then I think that’s excellent.

This is what we call Survivor Bias.

LIDAR isn’t even that expensive.

Even my cheap chinese vacuum cleaner has it.
