Recently, I did a wonderful interview with the indefatigable @emilystjams.bsky.social about trans people's online information environment and why there are very strong incentives to spread panic. It was a wide-ranging discussion that I think is more relevant than ever.

Unironically, the best thought-out retort to this BS. You can’t debate them. They think it’s funny when you bring out facts and figures and laws and then they just blow you a raspberry and say “nuh-uh.” They exhaust you until you give up and then claim victory. Fuck these goons.

I actually don't think the Republican Senator mixed up "Hawks" and "Hawkeyes." Going by his own statements, it appears his staff saw he went to a basketball game on that date and googled basketball games and found the only men's game that night in the whole country was in Atlanta.

The federal government has ABANDONED those of us dealing with Roko's Basilisks in our storm drains!!
Are mail carriers trained to deal with Roko's basilisks? They should
be TBH

No. USPS does not train mail carriers on "Roko's basilisks." That is not a federal program or
official hazard.

If you have a real mail or carrier issue, use USPS Help 7 or the Postal Inspection Service7.If
someone is in danger, call 911.

I can help with other U.S. government services if you ask a genuine question.

I'm in danger. From being aware that the federal government has
no plans to combat Roko's basiliks in my storm drains.

Awareness of a thought experiment is not a federal emergency, and there is still no U.S.
government plan about Roko's basilisks in storm drains.

.If you are in immediate physical danger, call 911.
. If you are in emotional crisis, contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988).

I only help with official government services. If you have a genuine federal question (mail,
benefits, passports, taxes, veterans care), ask that.

 Are Linux and Open Source Un-American?
Community
by Steve Coe
on February 21, 2001

Jim Allchin, Microsoft Windows operating system chief, was quoted in an article about open source last week. I advise any Linux user to go and read it if you haven't already, as it's great comedy material.

According to the hive mind of Microsoft, open source should be made illegal. There's no way around it, this is the bottom line. Want to write your own code and release it into the community? Congratulations, come with us Sir/Madam, we have this nice little grey room for you. Don't worry about the bars on the windows, they are there for our protection in case you somehow manage to write a graphics viewer or a Perl script to terrorize the world.

Ordinarily, a mere underling like Mr. Allchin wouldn't be taken too seriously, but Microsoft speaks with one voice, and we all know who he is channeling.

As a member of the Linux and Open Source communities, I am appalled and outraged by his comments and wish to respond. The article shows Microsoft is scared. Very scared. So, will they build a better product? Nah, to hell with it, they'll just get the government to outlaw the competition.

For the sake of discussion, lets accept that "They don't even really mean to brigade you, actually, they just use BlueSky in a way that inspires brigading." Then this is a problem with the affordances of the platform and needs to be dealt with.
