@eff This is a clear example of why citizen journalism initiatives should always have their primary accounts on #PeerTube, with YT and other commercial outlets for backup and publicity purposes only.
@Sablebadger No doubt; I just want the name of who had the authority to cut the checks and was supposed to say "no" to requests that weren't properly authorized.
I have questions:

My Husband has just been made redundant.
He was the Art director on Disney Dreamlight Valley who actually turned the project around from yet another mobile game, to the multiplatform, biggest success Gameloft has ever had with a game.
He was also supporting mine and our daughter's disabled asses. We now have no private insurance and have come up against brick walls in the Quebec public health system.
We basically need him employed ASAP in the Montreal. Please RT!

@rantingsteve it was a joke but you have tapped TWO of my infodump regions. I WILL talk about both for hours on end given the opportunity
@milo This makes me think of that scene in The Life of Brian where Brian has painted graffiti in Latin on a public building and a police-soldier gives him a tongue-lashing for his bad grammar, and makes him fix it.
Justice Brandeis famously wrote that when you have great concentrations of wealth in a society, you only have three choices…
@dthompson This is why I've been saying for many years now that we need something that's like HTML but is actually designed for interactive graphical apps rather than havng that ability shoe-horned in via CSS, JS, and additions to HTML.
Tangential question: Is there any way to detect accumulating wear on an SSD? Can SMART do it? Or does it just, like, one day out of the blue start refusing to read one particular file (and then another, and another...)?
Our govt has a long track record of supporting dictators, asst in the🚨overthrow of democratic govts, & sometimes➡️sending in the Marines
Tom Lehrer taught us about this back in 1965. :blobcatupsidedown:
