Museums are finding it nearly impossible to post imagery containing artistic nudity on social media because their posts keep getting deleted and accounts suspended or banned, so Vienna's museums opened a page on OnlyFans.
TikTok closed the Alberta museum account for showing an obscured woman's breast.
Facebook ruled the 25,000 year old Venus of Willendorf figurine as pornographic and removed the post.

political snark, death penalty
It's so nice that the US has six Catholic judges on the Supreme Court.
The Church is so adamantly against the death penalty that the Catechism calls it "inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person" and the Catholic Church "works with determination for its abolition worldwide." Just over one year ago Pope Francis published Fratelli Tutti, making this stance abundantly clear and a priority for the Church as a whole.
I'm certain we're going to see those values come through in the court room today. There's just no way they would...

I really like @tomasino's Contract-Based Dependency Management idea. Here's why:
https://rys.io/en/156.html
> Version numbers are are notoriously unreliable in predicting if something breaks after [a dependency's] upgrade.
> [W]hen deciding if a given version of a given dependency is compatible with a dependant piece of software, instead of relying on version numbers rely on tests that actually verify the functionality and behaviour that piece of software actually depends on.

“But far from explaining that to readers and viewers, the corporate media is letting McConnell and Republicans share the credit for averting the disaster they threatened to cause.” https://presswatchers.org/2021/10/arsonist-heroically-agrees-not-to-light-deadly-fire-let-me-rewrite-that-for-you/

Project idea: Social Experiment Chat
Anonymous chat over tor without any usernames at all. The entire site immediately freezes and stops taking input forever the first time anyone drops an F-bomb. After that it remains statically published as a testament.
Site is called "Nice Things".
Project is called, "This is why we can't have nice things".

Sinclair Group's cookie policy popup triggers a long fake progress delay if you deny their tracking cookies. It doesn't actually set the cookie setting until after the delay. This is a UX dark pattern to trick people into cancelling and being tracked.

One America News Network Is Funded Almost Entirely by AT&T: https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/one-america-news-network-is-funded-almost-entirely-by-att/491082/
“Since then [launch], AT&T has been a crucial source of funds flowing into OAN, providing tens of millions of dollars in revenue, court records show. Ninety percent of OAN’s revenue came from a contract with AT&T-owned television platforms, including satellite broadcaster DirecTV, according to 2020 sworn testimony by an OAN accountant.”
Don't do business with AT&T. They hate America.
I muse about dependency management and dream of a better way forward.

Kobo announces two new e-readers, including $260 note-taking Sage... Because Amazon needs good and open competition
Have you explored mastodon's key-bindings? They're pretty neat. Jump to column with 1,2,3, etc. j/k for up-down like all sane (vim) things use. Hit "?" to see more.
So collabora on Nextcloud is really neat. You can do real-time collaboration on shared docs like in google docs. It's impressive.
So why the hell can't you paste?
