Microsoft Connected Experiences means they collect your Word and Excel files for AI training. Why not call it AI training? Why use such words? This is an unethical practice followed by a trillion-dollar corporation. How is this even legal? I am so glad that I donāt have Windows OS or MS office.

@JonathanMosen For those of us who work, will this be archived/posted somewhere? Not trying to come across as snarky or something. But I literally can't be there for it... But am interested, hence the question.
@remixman @JonathanMosen The URL in my original post has a link to an archive of previous sessions. While this is no guarantee that this upcoming session will be recorded, it's a good indicator that it likely will be.
@remixman @JonathanMosen I now see that the CENA archive has descriptions of previous sessions but I'm unable too locate links to either play or download them.

Came across this elsewhere, and it seems a good reminder of how the Civil Rights fight was actually won.
Successfully fighting for civil rights requires multiple parallel strategies, *and those "lanes" can't overlap*. Someone who's protecting people, for instance, needs to be squeaky clean, legally, so the baddies don't have a pretext to come after them and the people they're protecting--which means they can't be showing up to disruptive protests in person.
New data from the Highway Transportation and Safety Administration shows that people are twice as likely to die in fatal accidents involving Teslas than any other car brand (5.6 deaths per billion miles driven versus the average of 2.8 deaths per billion miles driven).

Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts about American cellular carriers in response to my question. From those initial answers, I was able to do some additional research. I have always enjoyed getting into the weeds with all things phone-related, so this has been fun. I thought I would pay it forward by posting here about my conclusions in case there are others interested, and of course others may have experiences to share. I am going to start with US Mobile, and see how it goes. There are two reasons for my choice. First, US Mobile is an MVNO, (mobile virtual network operator). Earlier this year, they became known as a "super carrier", and have access to all three major US networks, AT&T which they call dark Star, T-Mobile which they call Light Speed, and Verizon Wireless which they call Warp. This is a bit confusing if you sign up without knowing the nicknames, but I imagine that they're prohibited from using the actual network names for branding/trademark reasons. When you are a US Mobile customer, you can switch between the three carriers. There will be some limitations around the switch depending on your plan, and I'll come back to those. This is attractive for me as someone who likes to geek out on these things, because I can switch from time to time to conduct testing, without the need to keep porting my number. There are also practical benefits. If you're going somewhere a little off the beaten path, and you know that, for example, Verizon gives better service, you can switch. One thing to note though is that if you have an Apple Watch and want cellular service for it, you're going to be locked into Verizon because that's the only network where US Cellular can provide Apple Watch Cellular support. But they can do it via an individual number for your Watch or a companion plan for your existing smartphone number. Switching carriers is not as simple as choosing the network in the user interface of your phone. You have to use the US Mobile website for this task and it can take a few minutes before the switch is actioned. My second reason for starting with US Mobile is the customer service. It gets praised highly, and in my experience, justifiably so. I sent them a couple of emails last night and they replied with meaningful responses within minutes. They are also on Reddit, with an active subreddit with multiple staff responding to inquiries. They have no physical stores, and that suits me just fine. I would far rather deal with good support at home than go into a noisy store. I am not particularly driven by price, but the plans are attractive. They have some very good plans for those on a budget, for just a few dollars per month. Their Unlimited Starter plan is just $25 if you pay by the month. This gives you 35GB of full speed data before they slow you down. If you want to crank it up further, Unlimited Premium gives you 100GB of full-speed data before slowing you down, for $44 per month. If you're in a position to pay for a full year, it gets even more attractive. The 100GB plan averages out at $32 per month, which is pretty sweet. The Unlimited Starter only gives you two network transfers, not just per cycle, but forever. After that, they'll charge you $2 every time you do a network transfer, and there is a limit per month. Unlimited Premium give you unlimited network transfers. Unlimited Starter limits you to 10GB of hotspot data, it's 50GB on Unlimited Premium. Both come with an Apple Watch plan as part of the plan. There are roaming and international calling options as well. They offer WiFi calling, which means you can call anywhere in the world as if you were at home as long as you are connected to WiFi, but you do have to be in the US to activate WiFi calling, so if you are about to travel, be sure you've switched it on before you leave. This is great though, because I arrive in the US on Friday but will be home for Christmas, by which time I can use my US number as if I were still there. I haven't found anything I want to do with the iOS app that I can't, but it's not a super accessible experience. Many controls aren't described as actionable, so you have to guess from the context where you should double-tap to activate. On a couple of occasions, I did have to resort to enabling screen recognition. Nevertheless, I was able to sign up online, set up two factor authentication, and install the eSIM all from within the app. Of course the real test will be when I am in the US later in the coming week, but it's been a very good experience so far.

Using a registration email to block-evade and harass a user is overstepping boundaries and unacceptable.
Registration emails are also extremely visible to admins, at least on Akkoma. IDK if itās different on Masto.
This was bad because it represented an admin talking to a user post-block, in a way that constitutes harassment. That alone is more than enough. it would have been less bad if any the following were true (and not that bad if all were true):
the email sent was not harassment or continuing train of dialogue that resulted in a block.
the email addressed was advertised as a contact point.
Raeve had not made a boundary clear (idk if this happened).
In other words, saying this is bad from a privacy standpoint is misguided to me. itās bad because itās disrespecting boundaries.
For context, I have used registration emails before for technical reasons (e.g. if outgoing emails werenāt working Iād reach out to their registration email from a personal email). But I would absolutely consider using one to bypass a boundary set by a user to continue an aggressive dialogue with them unacceptable.
a staff member being allowed to violate their own instanceās rules in a way that seems 100% intentional (i.e. this wasnāt accidental contact) would call into question whether all staff are exempt from their own rules.
