From WhatsApp to Greggs - why is tech going down more? - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxrz350qyy5o
Far too many words used in place of simple phrases like "Greedy companies believing techbro bullshit instead of focusing on reliability", "not keeping important IT stuff in house" and "not employing quality staff".
Tech stuff goes down all the time, it only gets noticed by mainstream media when it's a service issue affecting lots of people and/or goes on for time.
the practice many browsers have adopted of truncating URLs in the address bar to the hostname is emblematic of the decline and commercially driven infantilization of the web.
understanding URLs β their roles and the ways and whys of how they are constructed β was an elementary skill of the original view-source web.
hiding complete URLs encourages people to become ignorant consumers of mysterious information services, rather than informed participants in a public forum.

I was just informed that the Guardian is prepping to do a story on DIY HRT and is looking to interview trans folk, particularly teens.
The story will almost certainly be weaponized by conservatives to argue for removing access to the necessary materials.
Just like with the police, anything you say can and will be used against you by mainstream media.
Be safe out there fam
@LunaFoxgirlVT i'm so freaking happy you put all this into words.
its so much unseen effort, and everyone expects it from you so you can't stop even when you really really need or want to, masking is hard and social interaction is confusing and abstract. :/
