@tr3nts That's such a hard question to answer. You mean like government spying? or advertising? or being an absolutely massive single point of failure?or getting owned like any other company? or deciding who does and does not get a platform free of DDoS attacks?There are more and more players like them, between Fastly, Bunny, Akamai and etc., and I can't tell if that's a good or a bad thing.

The cops: That guy who swatted you in december used a VPN so we can't find him. Call us back if you have any questions. Yeah, here's my question: Will that work for me, too? Could I buy a VPS with monero, ssh tunnel through it, swat 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and you won't even analyze a disk image or look at traffic logs?! Wonder how quick they'd be tearing that shit apart if he taunted Greta Thunberg on Twitter....

One of the most frequent complications from mismanagement of #T1D is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA is a life threatening condition often requiring intensive care. The cost of a hospital stay for this condition averages at over $9,000, and as a country we pay roughly $6.7 billion a year to treat this one condition. Medicare and Medicaid account for a little over half of this cost. [1]Here's the thing: You can turn off the mere possibility of getting DKA, like a light switch. Today. OpenAPS is a system to automate the use of an insulin pump. Data comes out of a glucose monitor, and instructions to deliver or not deliver insulin are sent to the pump. As the name implies, it's free and open. You can build it **today** with under $50 in parts. People using this tool essentially, as a practical matter, stop having diabetes while the computer is managing it.[2] Anecdotally, a friend went from ~3 DKA hospitalizations per year, to Zero hospitalizations since 2019... and suddenly stopped feeling like shit 24/7. $35 insulin and $35 raspberry pis could, if they prevent even a paltry 20% of DKA admissions, save billions of dollars a year. Countless billions more would be saved through the prevention of chronic illnesses related to T1D. And if we wanna view it... *that* way... yes, I suppose a properly-managed diabetic is a more productive worker and economic participant. If that's what motivates you. So let's cap the price of insulin, even for the uninsured, and work on getting open, interoperable management tools out for realistic prices.

Me: I've submitted 6,000 applications and nobody will hire me.Fedi:Me: It's just really frustrating ya know? Putting in all that effort and having all that experience and being told there's a labor shortage and huge demand and it turns out to be a big lie?Fedi:Me: And that's the other thing that's confusing me. Surely if there was a shortage, I'd have a gig, right?Fedi:Me: But I've also noticed that companies are "committed" to hiring certain groups of people, and I'm not in any of those groups. I wonder if that has anything to do with me getting passed up for unqualified people. Fedi:Me: And it's very frustrating. I rant about it for hours and nobody says or does anything. I can't get any help. It's gotten to the point where sometimes I notice that I've more or less run out of nonviolent options. @0x00string: VIOLENT EXTREMISM MOTIVATED BY RACE AND GENDER!!!

Twitter's engineers have health insurance. I don't. Twitter's engineers can see a therapist. I can't. Twitter's engineers aren't competent. I am.

Twitter is, graciously, pushing out the deprecation of the free API by 4 days.This is because Twitter is focused on making sure you can innovate, and has nothing to do with today's downtime.

1) Twitter stops working. Everything is doomed! It's over! We're shocked it took this long! 2) People who left months ago because Twitter didn't break forever show up only because Twitter isn't working today3) Twitter starts working4) Everyone leaves. Who needs Mastodon? We have Twitter!5) The cycle repeats.

Twitter actually has an enterprise-grade, high redundancy (very.... VERY high redundancy) monitoring and alert system. It's called Mastodon.

The owner of mastodon.lol has gone on a bit of a "telling people to kill themselves" binge.They are also upset that people are calling them names and claiming they're transphobic. This is interesting given that @nathan@mastodon.lol has previously called me the same for disagreeing with them on some minor unrelated issue.Now that they're being called out for breaking the same rules they enforce upon others, they're leaving fedi. Forever and ever and for realsies.Typical Akali main. See y@. Don't let the socket close on your ass on the way off the network. I'm sure Elon would love to have you. #fediblock

Well nobody's responding to anything else, so I guess I have to go nuclear. I'm making a fediverse search engine with no opt-out.

This is me asking for help before intentionally violating server rules.This is you admitting that you were waiting for a rule violation to reach out.

@andemann This may surprise you, but EU law doesn't affect people in the US. No sir, I've got a bug up my ass, I'm going to scrape like there's no tomorrow, and everyone's just gotta deal with it. Just like I gotta deal with this.
