@highvoltage That's Céline. She's cheesy and corny in an innocent, sentimental way :)

If I were a citizen of the USPA (United States of Part of America), I'd be talking to my Congressional Rep about this Section 702 thing.

@petersuber Go on a payment strike for a few months but instead of saying your withholding payment in protest say you're performing an "attitude improvement" exercise or providing "valuable customer feedback"...

GrapheneOS
Oh, and let me say I am eagerly awaiting 2027 when the fruits of the recent partnership between @GrapheneOS and #Motorola are expected to hit the market. It will be good to have more phones upon which #GrapheneOS can be installed

GrapheneOS
I've been using @GrapheneOS for several months, now. I couldn't be happier. I had been using @calyxos. But, when I got a new phone I decided to try GOS. What luck! Shortly after I put #GrapheneOS on my Pixel 8 there was a staff melt down at #CalyxOS that disrupted the COS production. So I would have been stuck without upgrades. But, I have to say that I prefer the way GOS does privacy/security, anyway. And GOS support is more helpful. Go Go #GOS!!

My therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @cdnspace Artemis II dashboard.

I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display.

Little did I expect that it's now being seen by anywhere from 200 to 600 people at any given time with 130,000 people having looked at it in the last 24 hours. People are even building projects around my API.

Yesterday, I received a message on LinkedIn from someone working in Mission Control in Houston... and they're using my dashboard! He even sent me a photo, but I can't share it until after the crew has splashed down.

Mind blown, and an absolute pick-me-up. The best part? It's being served from my basement.

It's been a few years since I drew this. I still stand by it.

Our trans friends are being targeted with inflammatory toxic BS by powerful people with massive platforms every single day.

Please let them know they are seen.

The journalists who spent time and energy learning Banksy’s identity, then published the details, suck.

They suck.

They could have spent that time and energy exposing corrupt billionaires and politicians.

They could have minded their business and let us continue to enjoy the fun of not knowing.

Those journalists are conscience free, romance free.

They suck.

Your kid gets profiled online before they can spell 'privacy.'

We're aiming to change that with .

Red alert! If this sounds like bad shit that's because IT IS

There was a time when the whole internet would be rallied against this stuff.....

@dannycolin @aki I haven't (and don't intend to) expanded this thread to see what you're replying to. Don't need to. It's funny even just guessing context :)

@Anarcat @amazingmap Alberta has had a "rat patrol" for many decades. All freight trucks and trains must stop just inside the border to be inspected for rats. Any found rats are removed before the vehicle can continue into the province. It doesn't catch 100% of the rats I'm sure, but it is very effective at helping to keep numbers low
