What should really be worrying you (and policymakers, if only they carried the gene that expresses the ability to have a clue) is that we are effectively limited in choice to two trillion-dollar US corporations for the everyday technology that has unfiltered access to our most intimate and personal thoughts, the power to mediate our reality, determine what we can and cannot say, bound our agency, and redefine the boundaries of personhood itself in the digital network age. Who needs an army, eh?

#firefox doesn't need to be remotely as big as Chrome or as IE was before Chrome... It just needs to be big enough to matter in privacy and open standards and to keep the other browser makers honest.
But this is a troubling loss of the only mainstream browser not owned by a major advertiser or tech giant.
The internet is a much better place if Firefox can claw its way back to 10-15 percent market share.
It's now hovering at around 8 percent with Chrome at 70+%....

Hi, here's something simple some of you can definitely help us with: We need your help with testing something simple on macOS and Windows. We now have project files with _our own branding_ and need help with knowing whether Tenacity project files can be imported to vanilla Audacity in Windows and macOS. Backwards compatibility stuff. ;D
You can download and test the Windows and macOS versions here: https://nightly.link/tenacityteam/tenacity/actions/runs/1120445637

just realized this morning that both of my brand new 165hz .5ms response time monitors have been set to 60hz for the past week.

Alright friends, I've hit a wall in my research so I'm throwing this out there:
Anybody got any references, stories or anecdotes about ancient/medieval mercenaries + marriage? Bonus points for true stories about down-on-their-luck or retired mercenaries & soldiering companies and what they did after the war was over?
Bonus bonus points for information about ancient war brides.
I can't get a good starting point just using search terms and it's driving me nuts.
Thanks a lot to the organizers of #SummerSchool, it really was a great event! It was amazing to hear so many fascinating talks, and even better to meet some of you whom I have only known through your toots so far. It was an honor to moderate @bcallah’s talk and thank you to @ckohtala for moderating mine! Can’t wait for next year’s SummerSchool!

I normally am not a fan of individual boycotts because it does not bring about meaningful change, but I will not purchase or play an activision blizzard or ubisoft game ever again and I encourage you to do the same
