There are a few behavioral markers that indicate something is very wrong. Him halting tweeting for any appreciable length of time is a big one. The abrupt departure for the Walter Rees National Military Medical Center with no prior press statement is another. He went there without Melania.
Contact tracing indicates spread at the Amy Coney Barrett introduction event. Senators Lee & Tillis are both positive as well as Melania in addition to other staff who were front row at the event. Symptoms took several days to become apparent per what we know so far.Blaise Alleyne likes this.

To whoever made booting so much speedier in Debian GNU/Linux 'testing' distro (Linux kernel version 4.19.0-2-amd64, but maybe the change happened earlier than that): THANK YOU!McClane, Blaise Alleyne likes this.

Whole Foods checkout clerk: "Are you a member of Amazon Prime?"
Fantasy me: "Uh, I'm a member of Amazon Probabilistic Prime."
Fantasy Clerk: "?"
Fantasy me: "I mean, demographically, it's likelier that your CPU made an arithmetic error than that I'm not Prime."
Real me: "No."McClane, Blaise Alleyne likes this.

@Blaise Alleyne I'm using Firefox Klar from F-Droid, which seems to work well. Only issue is that it's designed for private browsing, which means it... forgets everything. Good with home screen bookmarks though.

I use Fennec F-Droid, and sometimes Tor Browser.
I use Fennec because I see it's updated regularly and I could install uBlock origin to get rid of all the ads. I didn't explore much other browsers, though.This is in my phone with Lineage 14.1.

I'm happily using Nextcloud and a F-Droid only Android device with a few more applications, but I still strongly agree with the approach and especially the conclusion:
In many cases I’ve been an early adopter of technology, but sometimes I’ve come to the conclusion that the old way was better. Unfortunately new technology is often adopted just for the sake of being new. I think, in general, we should be a bit more skeptic about new technology, and in particular about its effects on society, and carefully consider the pros and cons. Of course in many cases the pros outweigh the cons, but not always.
Naturally, it’s also about getting older and more conservative. I no longer switch Linux distributions every other month, I’ve been quite happy with running Debian stable for many years now. I’m still fascinated by technology, and I especially like programming, however, I try to use it more thoughtfully in my daily life, and leave some time for other important things.

I have ejabberd hooked up to pam_unix... it works pretty well. The configuration syntax is kinda garbage though. I can send you my config if you want.

BTW, today ActivityPub got voted to go to Proposed Recommendation in the Social Working Group!
Which means that at this point it's up to W3C membership and management to move it to the space of it being an official spec.
The implementation reports page is looking pretty good too!
Now I really need a rest...
