Make an authoritarian's head explode today. When they want to ban something for a specific group's supposed benefit, ask them if they actually consulted with the beneficiaries.

@koherecoWatchdog Least intrusive and disruptive way. A warning would be fine. Positive reinforcement.

@tek There was, on my client end. Just reactivated NTP sync. Timeline still doesn't reload on its own though.

@tek For some reason, my mind puts that to the melody of "Cry Little Sister", from the Lost Boys soundtrack.

Triceratops imply the existence of tricerabottoms and triceraswitches.

@tek No strong feelings about the issue. I'd like to see them behave, but the safest action would be a preemptive block, to be revisited if they prove themselves in the public eye.

@tek "Jackwagon" is such a delightful Americanism. I'll file it with the British "wankpuffin".

@tek I handed the jackwagon to an English friend, who suggested the literal translation wankmobile.

@tek It's fine. We can safely joke about Steve Irwin's demise, even though it's tragic.

@tek In Europe, this would be illegal in so many ways. Firstly, our health insurance is organized in a completely different way. Secondly, cancelling stuff without a single warning wouldn't fly at all.

@tek Quick sum up of my current insurance level. I'm insured with Barmer, one of the mandatory healthcare providers in Germany. Since I'm technically unemployed, I pay minimum dues, provided by the government. People in employment pay a mandatory amount. Bargain, seeing that the policy covers everything necessary in full. Socialism, boo! Insert your favorite red scare meme here.

@tek If I ever need to travel abroad, I can get extended coverage for €50 up front. A friend of mine tested it, got full coverage for a hospital stay in the US.

@tek I could tell you a bit about the German situation, but at this point, it feels like kicking a puppy.

@tek I know a few US expats who moved to Berlin for the healthcare, but that's the best I can offer. Taking a joke question seriously because it's customary.

It disturbs me to no end that our culture makes it so incredibly hard for women to utter a simple "no", even when it would save years of trouble. This is in no small part thanks to men being such complete wankers about being denied, which is also cultural.

@dot @tek As a crossposter, I can confidently say that Bluesky seems to be one of the less toxic corporate entities. I'd opt for leaving it be, with defederation as the final option.
