Queering the queer/not-queer binary. "Shouting fire in a theater" was a metaphor for "jailing people who protested the draft"

I know I'm usually trolling LinkedIn over here but can we co-op/federate Glassdoor too? The F is the point of them if corp's can just self-post/buy good reviews and we have no say in how GD handles that?
https://www.overcomingbias.com/2018/06/comparing-income-sex-redistribution.html <- I dont endorse (or un-endorse) any particular claim that Robin Hanson is making here. on a meta level I strongly endorse the fact that he is continuing to talk publicly about comparing sex and income inequality in sexist and racist ways, without apologizing or stopping. my own intuition is that sex inequality is mostly not morally problematic, and income inequality only problematic insofar as it leads to political power imbalances.
Hot new shirt idea (lewd, stupid)
it's pretty cool that with Let's Encrypt, plus the experience from having done it before, plus an already-configured nginx instance, you can set up a new domain with a SSL cert in the 30 seconds or so it takes for certbot to run
Along with a website for AP programmers, the world could use an install/upkeep guide website for aspiring self-hosters and admins. Guides for Pleromas, Mastodons, Pixelfeds and whatever else.
I keep seeing this image of the Mediterranean sea superimposed on the continental United States and it fills me with emotions that are hard to describe
Apparently some ISPs decided @SDF was "dark web" and blocked it. How long until @tildetown gets the same thing? Your mastodon instance? Netflix?
@enkiv2 Yo, I don't give a shit if people switch to Pleroma. The only people who switch to Pleroma are people who are already sold on the idea of federation, which means I've done my job with them. I'm talking about Twitter. If there is something I am talking about and you have to ask, "is it Pleroma or Twitter", I can assure you it's never Pleroma.
.@Blender's videos on #YouTube have now come back, but they are also being told by Google/YT that they HAVE to monetise them. #Blender are considering refusing, which presumably would mean the videos being taken down again:

Whatever they once stood for, #Google's aim now is exploiting their users' content for maximum profit.
If you don't want your videos to be exploited, it is important to switch to an independent alternative:
Webtorrent (Bittorrent over WebRTC) is absolutely amazing: https://webtorrent.io/
I was wondering how Peertube (https://joinpeertube.org) could hope to scale at all; this is the answer. For popular content, this will work.
The long tail is harder. But this is a HUGE step in the right direction. Very cool!
@HerraBRE hey you're an icelander who lives in Italy! do you have any insight about: https://moeplebs.online/@meireikei/100251834045981188 ?
