@aergonaut I was in a security program recently run by GitHub (oauth2 and Mastodon are only two Ruby projects to date!). We were not allowed to announce our participation until long after it was over and CVE and patches had run their course, but the primary reason was so participants would not be targets of state-backed hackers. Exclusive awareness of CVEs in the literal most critical projects on the planet is not to be taken lightly. This announcement valued IPO > security.

On this day, eight years ago, I entered the US embassy in Stockholm to apply for a Visa, after I had been denied travel to the US the year before. No explanation, no motivation. Just denied. It took 937 days for me to get the visa. When I was about to use it for the first time, I caught covid and couldn't go. Since then, the US administration scares me since I have this in my background, so I stay away. The visa remains unused since November 2020. It expires in 2030.

Your annual reminder that the USA is the only country where everyone has to manually file taxes every year. Every other country just deducts what you owe and doesn't bug you about it. The only reason it works this way is because Intuit lobbies to keep it this way.

Really if one wanted an accurate picture they would do BlueSky monthly starting from the closed beta I’d be fascinated to see the data around how treating certain demographics poorly reflects in long term engagement numbers πŸ‘€ [contains quote post or other embedded content]

"Legally" huh. Does this mean it's ok to mass deport illegal aliens as long as it's done legally? Jail women for having abortions as long as it's done legally? Take FCC action against TV broadcasters as long as it's done legally? And who writes these laws? My party or yours?
