I was gonna say, I got Molly-FOSS from F-droid, but I actually had to go back and check. It checks out though. I did also get obtainium so I can keep a better eye on updates and actually check the changes on git before updating something as important as secure, encrypted coms. Also I figured I should really start checking the signature each update from now on.

From this picture this could be a few things, but I am leaning toward Laetiporus Cinncinatus (one type of chicken of the woods) very late in the season after the color has gone out of it. But it could also be something like a black staining polypore. If you go back earlier in the season next year and it's bright orange you would be able to confirm that it is one of the types of chicken of the woods (Some type of Laetiporus). I say Cinncinatus because it is growing out of the ground next to the tree, but it could just as easily be Sulphureous attached to a root that has died or something.

Or: All my emotions are science, by Mr. Rational himself. Its actually hilarious how much time you are willing to spend showing that your emotional responses are actually scientific with more emotional rhetoric and how little time you are willing to put into showing a single way that a single point in the article is wrong using science that shows otherwise. "I don't like the rhetorical slant of the article," does literally nothing to disprove the science they useto support their conclusions. But you are clearly the one single person on this planet that doesn't let their emotions guide what they believe. Ok.

But the government does its best work when its shut down.

Adrian Lamo was a poser.

I love star trek, so I love that instance, but Lemmy.world feels like its replicating the toxic discussion style from reddit. I'm not here because I loved reddit but hate what they did to it. I have hated reddit for years, I am here for a completely different thing from reddit. The slrpnk instance and the Lemmy.ml are the main instances I want to interact with. If there are other anarchist instances in the future, I'd like to interact with those, but ideally keep the toxic bullshit to a minimum.

The problem with federating with anything owned by meta is that it is a data syphon. I don't think we can fully protect ourselves from that. If they want the data most of it is easy to come by by just having any ol mastodon account or running a malicious instance or just scraping what is public and inferring the rest. However we shouldn't be inviting a threat like that into our backyard. We should definitely not be federating with them. Furthermore it gives them the opportunity to bloat things down with ads or DOS small instances with amounts of traffic and data they can't handle and they could make it prohibitively expensive to run an instance that federates with them. Nipping those problems in the bud requires showing them the door early.

El silmarillion, it is a Spanish language version of my favorite J.R.R. Tolkien book.
