Turning Points USA was set up by two young Republicans to spread misinformation about COVID and gun violence.
One died of COVID, the other by gun violence.
I don't even have to write a joke about that.

@IzzyOnDroid why I tend to see what big tech collects as metadata to be digital poppetry.
Your metadata profile is a poppet to be used to determine what to advertise at you and what propaganda to send you.
Those fake bot accounts are a part of that.
We are aware of roskomnadzor just having ramped up their blocking efforts in #russia against #deltachat 's default onboarding chatmail relay. Signal, Whatsapp are degraded/blocked for a longer time already.
1) Delta Chat has first class shadow-socks proxy support (try ss:// links you can find ... Delta has management-proxy UX)
2) many other chatmail relays work fine and inter-chatmail/email server traffic continues unimpeded
3) if you can help with analyzing please drop into our DMs.
La gente de #DeltaChat vuelven a impresionar 🤯 ahora con llamadas P2P (**en beta**)... Donde los servidores no necesitan hacer NADA especial, ni siquiera actualizarse. Todo sigue funcionando bajo estándares de #email. 😍
Hay algo mágico en una aplicación que consigue ser tan independiente incluso de su propia infraestructura. 🪄
Brillante trabajo, @delta, mis felicitaciones. 🚀

Interesting, when a modal dialog (nested within a `<main>` element or some sectioning content) opens in Chrome it seems to disregard its context, so elements like `<header>` and `<footer>` will have `banner` and `contentinfo` roles as if they were scoped to `<body>`. When opened non-modally, they have `sectionheader` and `sectionfooter` (new ARIA roles + mapping) which means that it is computing the roles based on the dialog’s context.
Safari and Firefox keep the context is both scenarios (i.e. modal and non-modal). I have no idea what is correct. Need to read more.
Anyway, here’s a playground for the bug: knowler.dev/demos/MR4JmQW

I've lost track of how many years I've done this now but basically for Black History Month I'm posting back to back bangers from UK Black artists daily!
This is in the hope that you go out there to discover something new, rediscover something old, and most importantly to support the arts! Slip some in your playlists, tell your friends, buy some records, merch, and gig tickets ❤️
Let's go!!

finished landing the fix for this FreeBSD bug: bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show…
this is quite fun. in one sense, it's a fairly serious bug: inet_net_pton() is completely broken for IPv6; it simply doesn't work and returns garbage output. but this bug has been present since 2006, when this function was first imported into libc, and no one noticed until August of this year when the PR was filed.
what i conclude this from is that literally no one uses these functions, and they should probably have never been imported in the first place. but, well, we can't remove them without breaking ABI compatibility, so now they're here forever, like an obnoxious uninvited party guest.

One reason diversity initiatives are sabotaged?
If you think it is valid & right that your subgroup represents and defines a category, for instance, men considering themselves the rightful prototypical members of STEM careers, you will be more likely to resist opening up the group to others and more likely to demand that anyone entering the category conforms to YOUR norms.
This effect is reversed when you do not have a baseline belief that your group has the default right to be the prototype

in reply to Mark H-B • • •Important correction, Turning Point USA was founded by one young Republican (Kirk) and a 72-year-old Republican (Bill Montgomery). This was always an AstroTurf campaign for rightwing oligarchs.
Still, your point about covid and guns is very apt.
