Is there an equivalent in #mastodon for "Share link with...", e.g., for Diaspora: `share.diasporafoundation.org/?{title}&url=`?

@ohyran Wow, that's very funny. My reading:

MS: "Sorry, prices are going up!"

Cern: "Really? OK, we'll not only replace you, we'll publish guides so everyone can replace you too."

MS: "Oh look, ha ha, there was an extra zero on that price quote, it was just a typo, would you like another glass of champagne?"

This podcast made me very angry. The effects Tory austerity has had on disabled people in the UK. After a lot of hard-won gains for disability rights in the 80s and 90s, the Cameron government rolled most of those gains back in the bogus pursuit of austerity.

My concern is that giving up that genetic data is part of the drip, drip, drip erosion of privacy. I'm well aware that I already gave alot of it away when using Google. But my uncle understands tech, but not the privacy concerns. It's not so much that particular company its everything.

Interesting to see the mainstream talking open source. Not sure I'd agree with the term imitation when Amazon forked mongoDB.

So there you have it, privacy goes out the door. Some of my DNA is already in a database like that because my uncle did one of those DNA tests. Not something I gave permission for. But law enforcement is the first step. Down the line that data will be sold on for commercial purposes. Like health insurance.

I just got a promo email from Digital Ocean, because I created a tiny droplet there a few years ago (too expensive really). "A new kind of Droplet." I don't care. Don't you guys understand?

Say this like Cptn Kirk:
No.One.Wants.To.Host.In.The.USA!!

There's no security and it is too dangerous litigation-wise. Plus Zero trust. And your spooks and corps pwn everything.

The whole world knows that.

Oh my goodness I've just learned a thing about The Matrix that causes it to make a lot more sense: In the original script the humans were used as neural network compute clusters by the Machines and as a crucial component of The Matrix itself.

Which is why humans who were aware of the simulation could control aspects of The Matrix - their minds were part of its foundation.

Unfortunately the test audiences had trouble understanding this concept so the studio changed the human role to "batteries".
