@tek I think you know this guy. “One of them, Kirk Strauser, said he was glad that Rioux incorporated proven protocols for encryption rather than trying to invent everything from scratch.”https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/08/02/encryption-dead-cow-cult-apps-def-con/

This great. It really is. Now for step 2 let’s have #MedicareForAll or some type of universal #SinglePayer FULL coverage so that #MedicalDebt no longer occurs. https://apnews.com/article/harris-medical-debt-credit-scores-cfpb-9c551d3cb6cf88ae872b7beb7b8b8bcd

I liked this #mmt adjacent article from Jon Schwarz. https://theintercept.com/2023/09/23/tim-gurner-speech-unemployment/“The key limiting factor, Kalecki believed, was not some shortage of money, since the government could create as much money as it wanted. Rather, it was the productive capacity of the economy. For this perspective he is recognized as a key forerunner of modern monetary theory…the people at the top would prefer a worse, poorer country, if that’s what’s required for them to stay completely in charge.” #economics #labor

I used to use #GoogleMaps on my iPhone without attaching it to my google account. Since I have gmail app it knows it’s me, but would ask if I wanted to continue anonymously or connected to my account.As of tonight, it no longer asks. Google Maps just connected me to my account… unless I choose “incognito mode”.I’m not sure what, if any, significance there is to all this. But I don’t like it #GoogleAny #degoogle suggestions for iOS (other than Apple Maps which might become my default now)?

@tek @thenewoil Perhaps this is a good time to pose my question:As of a couple of yrs ago #Safari seems to have its own idiosyncratic (so #Apple ) way of implementing extensions. The ones I’ve tried go to Applications folder as if they are full fledged applications. What’s that about?

On the one hand, I've learned not to trust polls. But on the other hand... oh, shit!#Poll: #Biden Trump running virtually neck-and-neck in #Minnesota https://www.minnpost.com/national/2023/11/poll-biden-trump-running-virtually-neck-and-neck-in-minnesota/I humbly ask that any fellow Minnesotans considering a 3rd-party vote, reconsider and vote Biden. (Please don't @ me with all his shortcomings. I am aware).

@tek @StarshipEngineer That’s how it works in other countries but… you know… “American exceptionalism”.

@DrALJONES [former Supreme Court president, Aharon Barak] has devoted his entire professional life: legitimizing the majority of Israel’s crimes, while simultaneously defending the façade of “Israeli democracy.” Barak, after all, is one of the most significant authors of the legal doctrine that Israel can claim to be a democracy while maintaining an endless military occupation and systematically depriving the Palestinians of their rights, dignity, land, and property.

The article is better than the headline.

@seachanger "Rep. Romman and #Uncommitted organizers both confirmed that this was the speech she was planning to give if allowed for a potential 2-minute speaking slot. Uncommitted said they were open to the speech being edited and vetted. They said the #DNC did not ask to see the speech."2 MINUTES! They could not give 2 minutes to a #Palestinian - American Democrat?Shameful. Stupid. Counterproductive. And heartbreaking.

@aral @olimould Now with polio confirmed — perhaps the most of many water/food-borne illnesses — I think it’s not hyperbole to add biological warfare to the list of #IsraeliWarCrimes

@aral Stuff like this (and plenty in my own #usa #USpol ) makes cynical me wonder if “center-left” is just a #marketing ploy used by a subset of conservatives

Disturbing but important commentary. This paragraph sent a chill down my spine:“Trump is using the protests in LA as his equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag—a ginned-up emergency used to deploy dictatorial powers, which once deployed won’t be voluntarily withdrawn.”Trump’s Dangerous Escalation in LA | The Nation https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/la-national-guard-ice-raids/ #USpol #LAprotests #NationalGuard #fascism

@aral The fact that Newsweek felt it necessary to do a fact check is a reflection on their assessment of the (lack of) intelligence of their readership. #USA
