Ironically, the crosspost from 🐦 site shows very well how Twitter does things with "algorithms" and therefore borks, yet mastodon does it predictable and simple.
I like predictable and simple.

Interesting to read a Cato Institute libertarian write about what they think is anarchism in @TheHillTimes. It's not what i'd say but it's also mostly accurate. https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/515389-what-do-anarchists-believe

Today, we are announcing the extension of machine-generated detections to scene classes such as gas stations, toll stations, and parking lots. The scene classes will help cities and community groups speed up their mapping efforts.

Almost 5L grapejuice from our own vine. Very sweet, so I guess there are some benefits to the global warming🤔.

Some bad news for folks who are fans of #uMatrix. It's being archived and no longer being developed :
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uMatrix-issues/issues/291#issuecomment-694988696
Can't say I didn't see this coming since maintaining a plugin, particularly as an open source project, is often a thankless job with many personal down sides
I hope it can still continue, if not as uMatrix, then as something else. I really don't like to fiddle with uBlock Origin to get the same functionality

That's a great insight. Maybe GitHub PRs should prioritize the tests on top? https://twitter.com/mgreiler/status/1306497260402999297
RT @mgreiler
A study by @sback_ & others shows that developers that review tests first significantly improve code quality & reduce bugs.
Why❓
Because they are 3x more likely to find bugs in test code.
And as tests are our safeguard, this in turn helps find production bugs. 🙏

So is that whole “post pictures of what you looked like 15-25 years ago and today” thing just a cheap way for Google and authoritarians to train their facial recognition AI or…?
3 I don't feel like a tinfoil nutcase. In NL, when I choose to wear a mask, i've a constant feeling of being judged. In DE, you don't have to make that choice. Which gives some peace of mind.
4 it is a broad effect, that allows some freedom: to sit in a Beergarten, to travel a tram, to relax at a campsite, which would otherwise be taken away, as a measure.
Even if mouth masks are technically not effective at filtering the virus, the symbolism works. For me.
