@aral, I don’t think the @fsf has ever issue any statement similar to JS is dangerous. I think its official stand is only against non-free software, which includes client-side code. GNU LibreJS is recommended by the foundation instead of disabling JS all together.

I don’t understand why some people are confused. It’s really quite simple.
How FDA approval works:
A panel of 11 experts votes 10 "not enough evidence to show the drug works" and 1 "not sure". FDA approves the drug. 1 panel member resigns.

I got a taste of the sheer volume of rubbish that makes up 80 or 90% of the fediverse on friday - lewds and worse down to stuff that is liable to get you arrested. I nearly quit, but I've simmered down a bit.
It made me realise that while i strongly like decentralisation of powers - nations not UN, states not federal ... I don't think I believe in "Freedom of Speech" as a virtue in it's own right. We earn the right to speak, nobody is born with it.
I hate what "Free Speech has been twisted into - once, it meant the right to maturely present a case and be heard, but now it means the right to publicly pursue all kinds of perverse and twisted things. To promote abuse of others, and speak about things that are shameful even to mention.
It made me realise how much rubbish @josias moderates too - mate, you're a champion and you are carrying a heavy responsibility in the work you do, creating a safe-harbour for the rest of us to hang out in. Thankyou for your perseverance and willingness to do what others won't. It makes this server the sanctuary it is, and I so, so appreciate it.
Despite threats and withdrawal of support from former and current corporate patrons, FSF has reaffirmed their commitment to keep RMS on the Board of Directors. I hate to admit I was dragging my feet on renewing my FSF membership to financially support their cause -- because of the anti-FSF FUD -- but this settles it for me. I'm donating later today after I'm done with work.

@everlastingrocks @rose_myrtle there are multiple issues with MMS support, one of the major ones being that MMS is geographically in another area as most developers are. I can't work on it because it just isn't a thing here.
The other issue is that the technical implementation of mms is kinda horrible. Some people have made implementations that work though and currently in the slow process of upstreaming it to the 10 projects in the tech stack to glue it all together
From heaven God looks out on humans, to see if any are wise and care for God.
But all have turned bad, the taint is on all; not one does good, no, not one.

My conspiracy free reasons for not getting the vax, if someone asks:
Haven’t been offered one yet.
Provisional emergency FDA approval sounds like a clinical trial. I don’t participate in clinical trials.
The scientific experts keep changing the recommendations and tend to equivocate. I’m not convinced that they know what they are doing.
The Mandalorian was great because Jon Favreau kept it from being ultra-woke and focused instead on good storytelling. Now Disney has gone against his stand to announce there are "no plans for [employing #GinaCarano ]". #CancelDisneyPlus
Sing, O People of God
Sing, O people of God!
His glory’s in the cloud;
Your sins thrown in the deepest sea,
He gave you purity.
Sing and shout for joy,
Return to God and know
His grace and goodness know no end;
And all your prayers ascend.
Life in Christ is yours,
From flowing grace he pours
All blessing into your open heart;
In love you’ve been redeemed.
Happy to meet you wherever you are on your journey (software or spiritual)
