When Signal was designed, our threat model was protecting the communications of civil society, journalists, just regular citizens ...
The threat model of military operations & sharing your hate of Europeans was not what Signal was designed for. Ephemeral messages and cryptographic deniability are not fit for communications that require accountability.
But I appreciate their effort to make government more efficient by adding journalists to the chat instead of requiring to go through FOIA.
@soweliniko @jackeric well now the day I spent badly modelling IKEA furniture to see how the room would look feels even sillier than it was before.
@anon_opin excuse me while I find my tiny violin for the poor downtrodden London millionaires.
@catsalad someone got that sign wrong. Directions to tourist attractions are meant to have a brown background and white text.
@gsuberland I don’t this if the driver calls ahead and checks. Just rocking up early is amateur hour.
@pikesley I think they deserve a small prize for managing to make an entire website claiming to educate people on how Bitcoin would improve their union or whatever without ever managing to explain how Bitcoin would improve their union.
@anna @wim_v12e don’t know if you’ve seen http://collapseos.org yet
With the power of AI, you too can take your startup from “fucking around” to “finding out” in as little as two days!
@mattgrayyes at least four on YouTube now, watched a couple this evening and will probably do the other two tomorrow.
Discovered Kasso this evening, a Japanese skateboarding contest with utterly ridiculous courses. Half of them are so hard the competition is won by whoever can stay on their board the longest. Perfect Saturday evening nonsense.
@dave fly.io are a US company but have data centres around the world. I see them as having taken the baton from Heroku since the Salesforce acquisition.
@dshan @anon_opin and the internet isn’t a single entity owned by the US.

For individuals (n=3500):
* 71% reported decreased burnout.
* More than 40% reported improvements across mental health, sleep quality, and fatigue.
* Workers are not using their day off to take paid work elsewhere, but instead for hobbies, leisure, housework, caring, and personal maintenance.
* 90% of people want to continue.
For businesses (n=91):
* YoY revenue up by 35% during trial period.
* Employee attrition down by 57%.

@Edent I cut my teeth during the XHTML wars, so of course still double quote my attributes.
@anon_opin I can see why you’d want to remain anonymous with controversial opinions like “Tolkien was quite good”.
tyler durden: the things you own end up owning you
rustc: actually, that’s impossible
"About your latest purchase, this is not to be missed" is quite the subject line for an email begging me to review a mousemat in exchange for an entry into a £100 Argos voucher raffle.
@CatherineFlick I’m using https://freshrss.org, with NetNewsWire on my phone and laptop to sync things to them. It’s fine, at least when the endpoint that does that isn’t broken.
@catsalad how does a web browser have a social media team where nobody involved is online enough to know that was a terrible idea?
I was just lamenting to myself that I’ve done nothing useful this afternoon while I had a few hours to myself, then remembered I cleaned the kitchen and did some laundry before sinking into the sofa, so well done me.
