@hinterwaeldler it was also on lobste.rs and other more positive news distribution sites.

In retrospect, the combination of "organize the world's data and make it universally accessible" and "make money selling ads" was always going to add up to "we are going to man-in-the-middle everything in the world."
@mhoye if AC, then networking power supplies (especially old Bell routers). If DC, then a common laptop adapter.

@brennen cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey
@dansup in Ontario it's one of the few "buck-a-beer" that go on sale for long weekends
@dthompson @bignimbus ooh, don't forget the extra challenges around no surface actually being level or straight. The professionals make it look easy to make all the corners and kick plates and everything look straight when they're anything but. It's all doable DIY, just involves a lot of time, cursing, and replanning on the fly.
And then having your own eye drawn to every mistake after the fact ;)
"self hosting" and such

Amazon Ring still poses a threat to vulnerable and over-policed communities, but its introduction of end-to-end encryption is a victory for privacy advocates.

#fluffychat has been approved for the iOS AppStore! Thanks to benpa and @matrix for the help with this! You guys are awesome!
@bkhl depending on device, more functionality (and better image quality) may be available by turning on the "Use Camera2 API" on the first page of the settings. I needed to do that on a Galaxy S7 to make it not horrible.

@moparisthebest @devurandom @kensanata @cjd I guess this is the crux of it:
> To our knowledge, there is no individual nor organization who has yet agreed that they will run a project under the SS Public License and be themselves bound by the SS Public License. That license remains a disingenuous proposal until it's put to use in an “inbound=outbound” licensing configuration.

@bkhl assuming Android based, have you tried Open Camera?
@cjd Musk didn't do it singlehandedly, and Tesla existed before he added his funding and joined. Whether it could have risen to prominence without him is debatable (and he did put his fortune on the line to prop it up on a couple of occasions).
That said, Tesla is much more than the dancing monkey pretending to be its core engineer and visionary.
My hope is that others spring up to continue to transform the industry in a less customer hostile way
@moparisthebest then perhaps check out what David Revoy uses, as he uses tablets and GNU/Linux:
