The whole system revolves around the idea that the majority can be made to believe 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, so long as it is repeated loudly and often.
And it works.

@PETEKEELEY I hold to my own belief, a hope recorded once and never repeated, that there will come a day when you apprehend the world beyond the color of its flags, and on that day appreciate what you have written.
Best regards.

i wish it were aliens
but it's not aliens
it's just the ol' engineered panic, an attractive nuisance ensuring natsec reporters get assigned to investigate balloon bullshit rather than budgets or bombings (à la nordstream)

the ones i specifically warned you not to place

Davinci Resolve is crippled in the most anger-inducing ways.
A Linux CLI from 1989 can convert a file format intended for CLAY TABLETS into ALIEN BEAT POETRY.
DR in *2023* is like "oh, wow, h.264? pretty exotic, there fella. aac audio? can't, sorry."

Because Windows collects and reports information about your computer and how you use it, and this behavior cannot be fully disabled.

To the Davinci Resolve people: please improve Linux support for common file formats in release 19. License problems have good workarounds.
Requiring users to ffmpeg-transcode Memaw's iPhone videos to VP9/pcm_s24le in an mkv container just to open them on normcore Ubuntu is jank. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

Twitter just locked my wife @lsjourneys's account for an ancient baby photo that even *spineless Instagram* had no problem with. Do parents need to worry? Are baby butts, happy bath photos, etc. banworthy now?
1295

Just my opinion. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

Ten years ago, the government defended unconstitutional surveillance by saying it was necessary to "balance" your right to liberty against their preference for security. The courts at the time viewed that skeptically.
