@parisba neat... it seems more properly a size than gender, but maybe they're not allowed to ask directly. Or does it mean something more like "uncertain, and possibly dead"? Or maybe just "don't trust my software, it's completely whack"... (apologies to Boeing).

@john Seems like such a setup is indeed concordant with the distributed nature of #Fediverse (e.g. localized administration and moderation policies--for instance EU might have a policy against Nazi creeps, while US might specifically require that Nazis be given a platform, and so the EU would be free to be Nazi free, wouldn't have to be a tug-of-war with the US forcing the whole world to adopt whatever policies it is currently pursuing). In theory this flexibility allows better local policies.

News flash, we interrupt the anti-Israel rant you are in the middle of writing (centered around the Hamas report of an Israeli attack on a hospital), to call attention to news that the rocket was fired by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Please update rant accordingly.

@freemo US govt has confirmed. This will devolve into an argument about who is a neutral third party. The evidence linking it to the Islamic Jihad group: video from multiple angles, eye-witness reports, an analysis from the IDF, and an intercepted phone call between two terrorists. The evidence saying it was Israel: as far as I know, an immediate and unsupported accusation from Hamas? which they apparently knew was incorrect, but it still worked, with the help of decades of propaganda.

@freemo I hunted down references and wrote something up. Unfortunately, it will not fit in this !#$!% 500 character limited space. So I uploaded it as a LinkedIn article. You should be able to view it without logging in or creating an account. Let me know how it works for you, and if there any major issues.https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-evidence-says-james-corey-66pke

@futurebird Inside the room, not so different than many decades ago. Outside, as they pan out and show the sheer multitudes of buildings... Jeez, now that's a lot of servers... "Each one of these generators creates enough electricity to supply 3000 houses." (oof, my stomach... the global warming implications in this industry are hard not to think about).

@ricci Kiki says "come and see the violence inherent in the system." Gonna make me wear this ridiculous harness, I'm going to put on a ridiculous show.
