FBI secretly demands a ton of consumer data from credit agencies. Now lawmakers want answers | TechCrunch - https://techcrunch.com/2019/12/14/fbi-national-security-letter-credit-agencies/
I decided to go back to photog.social. Unfortunately, mastodon.art censors the 101010.pl instance - the largest and ideologically neutral Polish language server. This is unacceptable for me because I come from Poland and I want to keep in touch with the users of my national instance.

a very important point.
nothing he said describes any publicly-known technology newer than 1970, and spacex has publicly demonstrated rocket-based landing that is iirc within human G tolerances

https://activitypub.actor is pretty cool.
anyone who causes another to become distressed (even if that distress is entirely unwarranted) in any way receives social pressure to be quiet without an evaluation of the merit of the request.
this, of course, becomes a weaponized technique for shutting down any discussion they don't want other people to have.
what's most upsetting to me about the bump stock ban is not that it's around or not, but that anti-firearms people are fine with celebrating laws made by capricious administrative fiat, entirely removed from the law-as-written or the legislature or the judiciary. it seems terrifying to me that federal administrators can say something's legal, then make it a 10 year federal felony the next day without any change to the law at all.
I think ActivityPub servers should push every public tweet to all of the servers with which they are federated, so that every instance can give meaningful results from a local database for hashtag searches, and to maximize usefulness of "federated timeline" views. get as much data to as many places as possible and let the receiving servers decide if they want it or not.
