New #blogpost: “Misinformation about Permissions Policy and FLoC”.
Lots of people have been spreading the often-unnecessary advice to add a Permissions-Policy response header to their sites, and some have been going so far as to ask FLOSS maintainers to patch their software to make this the default.
If you read the actual proposals and W3C specs, you’ll find a different story.
Everybody: please calm down, take a deep breath, and read before you make such prescriptive advice.
FLoC is terrible, but telling everyone to add a magic “opt-out header” in every situation conveys a misunderstanding of everything you need to know about the opt-in/out process.
And that's only talking about the deaths.
Doctors in Iraq had to invent new medical terms for the things they encountered because, among other horrible things, the US mil used white phosphorus and uranium laden bullets.
And let's not forget that Iraq had an excellent (free) healthcare system, good education, etc.
Now it's set back decades. 😢
Or the 'humanitarian intervention' in Libya.
And now ofc #Yemen, because MBS needs training for the coming war with #Iran. 🖕
Excellent toots 👇

Normally I'd have boosted it, but I feel the need to quote part of the linked article:
"The cost to Afghan civilians has been appalling, put at between 50,000 and 100,000 deaths over the two decades, all in retaliation for “hosting” the 9/11 attackers. Is that what we call western values?"
The number of deaths in Iraq are even more horrible.
First the economic war (sanctions), then the war itself and the aftermath of it.
Cost to Iraqi: 500k-1m+? 😢
But why aren't you using it, @danct12?
Oh no, @danct12, what happened to Hương Tràm GNU/Linux )-;
@huy_ngo, you can pay via *cute pictures of the locals* as well: https://sourcehut.org/blog/2021-04-15-whats-cooking-april-2021/#general-news

From the billing FAQ (https://man.sr.ht/billing-faq.md),
> Part of the fees from paid accounts are used to subsidize users who aren't able to pay.
Fun fact: the mutineer site attempting a hostile takeover of the GNU project is using a Linode IP address. The *real* gnu.org runs on libreboot D16 hardware.
IP block: 172.105.0.0/19, AS63949 Linode, LLC
https://ipinfo.io/AS63949/172.105.0.0/19
Linode is a non-free VPS hosting provider. You need non-free javascript to use the control panel!
I'm making a site (on libreboot server!) to warn people.
They failed to remove RMS from FSF. Now they're after GNU. If you see their site: it is *NOT* the GNU project.
Gitter is now bridged natively to Matrix! As such we will soon retire the previous bridge in favour of the new. Learn more at https://matrix.org/blog/2021/04/15/old-gitter-bridge-end-of-life-2021-04-21-to-be-replaced-with-native-bridge
Are you fscking kidding me? A website that serves Markdown and than interprets it in JS, client-side?
Are you that damn lazy that you can't even be bothered to offer the common courtesy of generating HTML out of your Markdown server-side?
Bleargh. Web is crap.
@libreleah, @anonymoose was prolly punning on *install it on people's computers*.
