Interesting thought: if #Mastodon is really a sort of #blogging platform, why can I control the #replies to my #post? From nostr:npub1eyszugs46q4ngd8tgeysnkwve20n9wewj42lac9cp7s2jrk52u2qce6x02

Oh, for goodness sake. #Crypto is a very, very bad idea which just won't die.
(Also, what's the point of PayPal anyway? I buy a lot of stuff online, and I've never had to use it!)

nostr:npub1huudhqf0gqyqgjwnd26khxhtuhpm4vzl6zkx3q9jtax60krdfk5qkrel3j many media outlets are reporting the Zoom back to their offices story. But I wonder if the privacy thing is the more important story?
Regarding the disastrous #Zoom #privacy policy change- in 2021, they paid $86 million (£61.8 million) to settle a privacy lawsuit in the #US which accused them of violating the #privacy of millions by sharing personal data with #Facebook, #LinkedIn and #Google.

'Of course he lost': Ron #DeSantis rejects #Trump's 2020 election claims, having dodged the question for months. But only because he is cynically looking for an electoral advantage

I changed into a train to Germany, and no-one asked me for my passport, although I think I spotted some German Bundesgrenzschutz on the platform at Basel Bad (but maybe they were Swiss!)
Letter to #PrivateEye magazine from a Tory voter lamenting "the procession of talentless nobodies" in charge of #Britain recently. I find myself recalling that Queen #Elizabeth, whose first Prime Minister was Winston #Churchill, ended her reign receiving Boris #Johnson's resignation and appointing Liz #Truss
How #Putin developed contempt for #Western leaders- they talked about #HumanRights, then bought his #oil and #gas anyway. Explains much about why we're in the mess we are now in
