Like the impact of bringing ONE pound of beef of chicken is damaging enough. Scaling that up to millions of people to set a precedent of consistent availability? Bruh. This wasn’t meant to last like this.

Even Oxford is saying that the millions of people in the US (focusing on the US right now) can opt to help combat climate change by just opting for more #vegan options: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j-IrETt0q0

First outage with my new email provider! IMAP / SMTP still seems rto work so I can use that but webmail is down. I don’t self-host email because Google (who owns more than 2/3 of online email) blocks self-hosted email aggressively regardless if you got your DKIM/SPF headers in place.

Pretty disappointed to learn that my @chase credit card flagged and blocked my payments to @ewarren via @actblue and they didn't tell me. I wonder how many other people have had the same issue.
From the archives, but apropos for #Domains19: A great podcast episode on surveillance capitalism from @acroom, @ralphbeliveau & @hypervisible boffosocko.com/2019/05/07/epi…
