"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."
Holy shit this is insaaaane
Here's an interesting article explaining why a government website needs to be switched off every night.

You can tell FaceTime audio was built for a western market because it barely works over 3G
Should I support Everton?
And so you are left with the absolutely bizarre circumstance that a nonprofit plausibly might have a fiduciary obligation to sell to the highest bidder, even if it finds that highest bidder unsavory and uncharitable. What if it got a topping bid from the Chinese Communist Party? What if a robot wearing a fake mustache came in and said “I will pay $150 billion for your company and will not use it to take over the world and enslave humanity, what even gave you that idea”? Would the charity’s obligation — its obligation not to give assets away to a for-profit company, but to be paid fair value for them — require it to sell to the highest bidder?1

My BlueSky feed is way too US centric, I need some more Middle East and UK in here
Disaster. I was gonna get mad at your for going without me
But in its panicked retreat from the system it spent years building, Meta may now be putting billions of users at risk. Just because Meta deleted that line about hateful speech causing offline violence doesn't mean it isn't true. And now the company has all but declared open season on immigrants, transgender people and whatever other targets that Trump and his allies find useful in their fascist project. "I can't tell you how much harm comes from non-illegal but harmful content," a longtime former trust and safety employee at the company told me. The classifiers that the company is now switching off meaningfully reduced the spread of hate movements on Meta's platforms, they said. "This is not the climate change debate, or pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is degrading, horrible content that leads to violence and that has the intent to harm other people."
I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...
It’s a website that lets you make your own newsletter super easy but it also has a patreon type thing to help people subscribe to your content and give you money. There’s some controversy around their content moderation policies
This whole multiple inbox bullshit is so annoying
I don’t know why but I really hate the new Apple mail app and I’ve basically converted to using the fast mail app for most things now
In other news we’ve put down an offer on a flat we love which needs a massive renovation but it’s going to be worth it. Fingers crossed the offer gets accepted and we get this 😊
I can’t sleep and I’m feeling a lot of guilt and some sadness swimming around in my head
Ok I just remembered that twitter was fun when I had few followers and I felt like I was just broadcasting to no one and it got shit when I gained a bunch of followers after having a slightly viral Palestine related tweet and I felt like I had to be serious all the time
For a lot of businesses in the Arab world, Facebook is the internet so having a page on there and keeping it updated is the same as having a website
I’m still a big advocate of Path and I wish that would make a comeback. The anti-social social network
I think it was updating all my friends and keeping up with their latest news? Then instagram took over and went and now there’s just a big gap
Hello Bluesky. I keep trying to remember why I felt the need to broadcast every thought I had on twitter and I can’t figure it out. I used to be such an avid user in my 20’s
But have you seen @bodegacats.bsky.social
