If you’re British, you might want to sign this.
If you’re not, please boost.
The current Prime Minister was not voted in, and he’s making a lot of decisions that will harm most of the UK; everyone will be affected. Time to call a general election and let the public decide for better or worse (harder to imagine the latter tbh)
@Plus_Ultra heh, greasy... yeah, not the most level headed person in the 'verse, there ;) glfor me, I'm thinking not this year (maybe evocati at the very end of the year), and in live sometime during the first half of the year, possibly for alien week
Did you know that #StarCitizen has quite a lot of lore? For example, a drinks company called Fieldsbury did a campaign with their bear mascot for Day of the Vara (the in universe Halloween style celebration), and it caught on, and now a replica company makes helmets in that's style. And you can pick them up in game, and they look like this :) (oh, and there's a really good deal on the Cutter starter pack, see my link here - no free fly, though!) https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizenreferrals/comments/1718y93/starf3v9nvlk_for_5000_uec_more_see_post/

Chrome: We're automatically opting you in to a new feature that sends your home address to advertisers but puts little asterisks over parts of it, and we're calling it Ultimate Privacy Protection
Firefox: We're encrypting every step of the DNS and HTTP connection process so nobody on the planet can know what you're doing online, because fuck anyone who would want to know
These two are not the same and should not be regarded as equals

I'm extremely sad and angry at the felling at #SycamoreGap, and will probably do another thread on that, but would just like to take a moment to appreciate Simon Heywood's poem and how it ties into the #folk tradition of rage and protest

If you help to run a convention, either as staff or as a volunteer I need your help! I have been given the rare opportunity to present at LoNAP's 25th anniversary, and my chosen topic is "What it takes to run a convention". If you have any interesting insights or anecdotes, please let me know! I have just under a month to prepare.

New position statement from a large cross-section of the #OpenSource community (including both @osi and @fsfe) with final comments about what's wrong with the #CRA - tl;dr:
"legal responsibility should only be on commercial entities supplying the software in the course of a commercial activity"

PSA: Google has now begun to roll-out the Ad Topics "feature" onto Android itself. It's not just in Chrome you have to disable the settings. Please #Boost to spread awareness.
If you didn't get the pop-up screen on your Android device (it'll look like the first two screenshots), to opt-out of these settings:
- Go to your device Settings
- Press on "Google"
- Press on "Ads"
- While you're here, press on the "Delete Advertising ID" button and delete it
- Press on "Ad Privacy"
- Review: "Ad Topics", "App-suggested ads", and "App Measurement". Make sure they are all labelled as "OFF". (This page will look like the third screenshot.)
If you don't see "Ad Privacy" in Step 4 then it means that it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. You might need to wait and check back in a couple of days to see if/when it has been implemented to disable these settings.
@Plus_Ultra yes, really look forward to that being a thing - doubtless not before the control surfaces stuff arrives, but really looknling forward to that :)
@ikani yeah! It's really great, look forward to that now :)

The #fediverse is international, but there may are continents with more users. Let’s proof that!
Which continent are you living on?
