Loving this episode of BBC Word of Mouth on how much of English is in fact French, including outrage!
Interesting video on end to end encryption and why the Home Sec is insane to try to ban this.
It's kinda weird to think about a social network where businesses own their own presences, rather than relying on a capricious third party service like Twitter or Facebook. Imagine NBC or The Verge running a Mastodon instance for their reporters to toot from, or Bethesda operating an instance for PR and customer support. No more lost business when Facebook changes their algorithms again because they need more money from boosted posts.
Weird, right?
So is it ok to hunt down and kill a gov employee who ships a LATIN1 file with encoding="UTF-8" at the top of it?
