@luis_in_brief Yeah I've been suspecting these moves relate to reducing responsibility/accountability/friction for moderation (possibly by confusing the issue).

In light of the SCOTUS decision about businesses discriminating, it might be a good time to read (or re-read) Derrick Bell's story "The Racial Preference Licensing Act", in his collection Faces at the Bottom of the Well. In it, businesses can buy and display a license to be racist, and the proceeds go to government programs that support the groups who suffer as a result. Not an actual policy recommendation, but sure makes you think.

When did Amazon break the ability to just buy MP3s? They seem to have now somehow wrapped it up with Amazon Music streaming, and if the stream doesn't work, you can't get to the menu to buy the MP3? I'm guessing the stream doesn't work because I don't have EME in my browser?

@lauraklein Reminds me of Derrick Bell's story "The Racial Preference Licensing Act".

@fdroidorg I think multiple times a week would be great if there are updates that you think are interesting / noteworthy.

@jxself Probably, their work is very taxing.

IRS telling it like it is (after 7am, when their web site opens for business).

In the US, you can only apply online for an EIN for your small business M-F between the hours of 7am and 10pm Eastern. The IRS turns the form off at 10pm.

Dangerously close to actually yelling at some kids to get off my lawn.

@gregpak Has happened to me too, but on initial check-in. They actually moved me to a different room because they didn't have a way to fix/charge the battery.

@drascus There have been times in the past where I've had to run it a number of times to get it to work. This time it worked on the first try though. I'm using ITD built from the latest commit in git.
