Fedi user complains that all non-original gTLDs are useless garbage that they should block... while posting from a .social instance :poopSweatdrop: #domains #domainNames #gTLDs #TLDs #newTLDs #newgTLDs

Screenshot of a Mastodon post on an instance using a .social domain:

"Oh, goody. #ICANN has announced it's opening up applications for new generic top-level domains.

All the ones added since they first started doing this - i.e. when the only generic TLDs were .com, .net, and .org - are, as far as I can see, garbage and useless.

Every single email I have ever received from a domain under .biz, .online, .shop, and all the other "new" GTLDs has been either spam, scam, or phishing.

I should just block all these TLDs completely, and any other new ones this results in."

Found this crazy email in my spam that was sent to the debian-uk mailing list and couldn't tell if it was some sort of satire (originally assumed it was sent to debian-curiosa) #Debian

Have you heard the news about the 8GB Swiss Archive, cults & Debianism?

As the UK discusses early release of prisoners, let us contemplate how Jeremy Bicha maintained and added to his membership and access rights in various groups throughout his trial, his prison term and his parole period. What is the point of having access rights or a Debian keyring if criminals can cruise through the system like that?

My great-grandfather was an ANZAC. He came to defend the UK and France in World War 1. The Fellowship elected me to represent them before the FSFE, the fake FSF in Berlin, on ANZAC Day, 25 April 2017. Ever since the Fellowship endorsed me, the snobby set has pursued a quest for violence against my family and I.

As your representative, I simply did my job and proved the FSFE is nothing more than a Nigerian fraud. Why don't the snobby set sue me for defamation? They are afraid the judge might agree the FSFE doesn't have the right to use the name of the FSF. Even if the judge doesn't agree with me, people in the snobby set are terrified that a judge might take the time to go through all the deaths, the Debian pregnancy cluster and all the examples of exploitation one by one. They are terrified that other victims might make public statements, just as Sonny Piers recently exposed the blackmail he experienced as a GNOME board member.

Blackmail, in the manner described by Sonny Piers, is a crime in the UK. When two or more culprits are involved, as described by Sonny Piers, the crime of conspiracy is also proven. Two blackmailers working together, as in "enforcing" the "code of conduct" nonsense, is not conspiracy theory. It is conspiracy fact and it is a crime. In the UK, the crime of conspiracy can even be prosecuted even if the conspiracy is not followed through. In other words, simply creating a mickey mouse "code of conduct" with the intent to denounce your rivals is a violation of the UK law on conspiracy.

I tried to document all those things meticulously and in chronological order in my official report on this real abuse scandal in Debian. Could my recent report about Jeremy Bicha be the real reason Steve McIntyre has no summer BBQ this year? Can you find any mistake in my reports?

My Jeremy Bicha report finishes with a comparison to the Catholic abuse scandal. Ben Carroll, who was pictured at the end of the report, just became Premier of Victoria. I've published a special video about the state inquiry into Cults and Organized Fringe Groups (COFG). Please watch it and think about what I could add to the discussion in Westminster.

Debian, Ubuntu and GNOME all enabled Bicha's progression while insulting other Debian co-authors and our families.

Steve McIntyre presided over Debian at a key time in the history of "Debian UK Society" and the period where Richard Rothwell, Frans Pop and Adrian von Bidder were exploited before their deaths. Adrian von Bidder died on the same day that Carla and I got married, I published a detailed history of that too. The recent discussions about Freexian are a flashback to the scandal of Debian UK Society.

Imagine having the memory of the Debian suicide cluster on your wedding anniversary every year. Adrian von Bidder may have been an avoidable death. In the UK, an avoidable death can be prosecuted as gross negligence manslaughter, the most serious crime after murder. One of the unique features of UK criminal law is that gross negligence manslaughter prosecutions can be pursued for deaths anywhere in the world, as long as the managers or decision makers had a base in the UK.

On 9 September 2023, I wrote to the Cambridgeshire coroner asserting that Debianism was a risk for health and safety. Abraham Raji died three days later. Why don't the snobby set want you to know that I anticipated the death of another colleague? If a death has been anticipated in writing, in a formal report to the coroner, it could be another manslaughter case.

The Clacton by-election is at a turning point today. People have realized there will never be unanimous community support for any novelty candidate. Many leaders in the local community are looking over the work of serious candidates and trying to decide whether they can unite behind any one of us. I have not met one local resident in Clacton who is enthusiastic about having a novelty candidate represent them. In fact, the perception the BBC is imposing a novelty candidate on Clacton is hardening support for the incumbent candidate.

Why is the community banned from discussing a credible and professional free software candidate on Debian mailing lists? Why do the snobby set treat us like children?

The rogue Debianists who put a fake judgment on their web site are inciting violence against me. They don't want to be seen to assault me personally but they will keep spreading rumours about my family until they incite somebody else to do so. The proof they are comfortable with violence is there in Jeremy Bicha and it is there in the chequebook - look at that, if $120,000 isn't kill money, what is it? That is despite the fact my great-grandfather came over here and was injured protecting the empire of that era.

Please watch and share the videos that you are banned from talking about.

A gold medal to Jonathan Freedland for the mental gymnastics required to write such a load of bollocks. #FreePalestine

Or, as one reader who wrote to me this week suggested, people are “conflicted” because the likes of Benjamin Netanyahu regularly conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, and so, “by implication, supporting Jews implies support for Israel”. I credit that reader with honesty: I suspect many of those now silent are hushed by the fear that supporting Jews stabbed in Golders Green will somehow be read as backing the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza. Better to say nothing instead.

But since when did progressives take their lead on anything from Netanyahu? If you’re a supporter of the Palestinians and you don’t like the conflation of opposition to Israel with antisemitism, here’s a really easy way to reject that conflation: take a stand now against antisemitism and in support of British Jews.

A cartoon from Gary Larson's The Far Side showing a scientist with an elaborate headset standing in a street with several different barking dogs all with speech bubbles saying, "Hey! Hey! Hey!"
