Dr. Edward Morbius ⭕ @dredmorb[email protected]

"Curator and art historian Ruben Cordova thought that Facebook was the perfect platform to archive the photographic materials equivalent to almost a decade’s worth of his research. [...] [On] November 16..., [Facebook] permanently disabled his account due to an alleged violation of community standards banning sexually explicit content. And with that, Cordova lost access to 9 years’ worth of aggregated resources and materials."

@dredmorbius Ah, good stuff! This is very much the space in which I've been doing a lot of pondering recently. (You may have seen my own ramblings about Cavern, a local-first social-media prototype. If not, it's linked in my profile.)

I'm interested to hear if you have any concrete ideas for the formatting issue. I like plaintext, but it means no embedding of pictures, no bold/italic etc... but I really dislike Markdown's ambiguity, and suspect it'd have issues wrt federation.

Anyone also bridge to #IRC in #Matrix? I'm currently debugging what's happened to Moznet and seeking to build tutorial to onabord more #Mozillians to IRC via Matrix.

Moznet is no longer browsable so having to communicate join commands etc via bridged acct. But the only accessible commands are - join, nick, whois, storepass, removepass, quit, cmd (raw IRC command).

How do I private message someone in the IRC channel?

Marriott discloses massive data breach affecting up to 500 million guests

“The breach included names, email addresses, passport numbers and payment information, according to the hotel giant.”

In other words, everything you need to steal an identity. Why was all this data retained to begin with? #GDPR

So there was a big protest today by schoolkids who blew off school and marched in the streets over government inaction on climate change.

The Prime Minister has said they should be less activist and focus on their schooling instead.

I just saw this sign. These kids are great.

Wow, Reuters, 1984 was meant to be a warning, not an instruction manual, you absolute muppets.
