@quinn sure. But we can’t change you, you have to do it yourselves.

Having to pay attention, just to see what’s going to broken next, is no fun either.

@jim Isn’t it in the manual? Airstrip One? That seems to be the goal.

@overholt And this is why I like to remind folk, from time to time, of the things I’ve seen over the millennia.

@mekkaokereke I’ve been wondering about this, and wondering who would start.

And now we apparently have Mojtaba Khamenei in charge.

@oschonrock

A little sarcastic, yes.

But I think it'll be more than just the "smart" ones, I think the kids'll share.

As you say some will get hurt, but I'm not convinced that the numbers will be any different from what they would have been without intervention.

Just as with pretty much every "tech" problem, effective intervention for harm reduction needs to be social, but nobody will actually fund the workers needed to do that.

I'm assuming that this is the government's intention. To produce a generation of teenagers who understand TOR, and choose to use it as a first step, using their phones as routers and randomised exit points.

My dad was in a plane crash in Moscow in the 70s, due to refueling, and we visited in the 80s.

Even then I wondered why it wasn't safe to put a visa stamp directly in the passport. Nowadays if I did ever have to visit the US, I think I'd want a clean passport to do so with.

It's been increasingly difficult to see the difference, unless you are part of the ruling classes, or can fake it for just long enough.

My spouse, a US citizen, went home to visit family last year, and found themselves distinctly uncomfortable at the border. I don't think I've been back since we were married, also in 2016.

That said, I've lost track of so much YT content I used to watch because no googevil account. I might have to try the RSS thing folk have mentioned.

@alisynthesis
I like nebula, though I often forget it's there. It will depend on whether what they have matches what you're looking for. I like the idea that the folk on there get paid. And that I've contributed to that.

@selzero
I don't think I've ever met a head of state, but there are one or two I have quite strong feelings about.

@johnzajac 100%. And in practice efficiency is measured by one or both of service reduction (corner cutting) and profit extraction.
