Sounds like elements of the old MUD “Sindome” along with Logan’s Run and Robocop

Joplin has this functionality, although I don’t often use it since I prefer to type directly into the Markdown editor. Whatever you choose, be sure that you’re comfortable with the security and privacy implications of it.

Conservative Christians want a theocracy but suck at governing. Didn’t we already know this?

Announcement that Blizzard is laying off the entire WoW team (due to “restructuring” and while keeping affected colleagues in their thoughts) in 3, 2, 1….

This is a really cool idea, and some fediverse software already lets you follow hashtags (ie Pixelfed and maybe Mastodon). I could imagine this being immediately abused by mistagging to force material into your feed. It’s already a problem on Pixelfed.

Thanks for the explanation. I really do appreciate it. We seem to have a fundamental disagreement about whether this can be truly private and, indeed, whether it’s necessary at all. It still seems to me a non-private solution in search of a problem.

No, I don’t share location data with Google. What gave you that idea?

And your phone’s GPS wouldn’t work for all of those cases because…?

I disagree that location is necessary functionality.

I don’t really see the need for a location service in the first place. My phone can share my GPS coordinates with first responders in an emergency. For everything else, there’s simply typing in the location I want to know about.

Why is this needed? There’s a reason for Mozilla cancelling their service.

Is “not as bad as Google” really a good goal for a project?

Touché. My bad 😕

Aren’t “privacy-friendly” and “location service” mutually exclusive?

Agreed on all points. And I’m sure the US is not unique.

Come to think of it, the national anthem is also about the flag. We have a real fetish for cloth crafting.

The flaw in the plan is that three or four large-flag cadres could conspire to support each other and overwhelm a protest.

Ultimately, flags are just symbols similar to any other logo. But I’d still prefer just to see them banned from Canvas rather see Canvas turn into an r/place arms race.

Don’t know if you’re familiar with the US Oath of Allegiance that every school kid is forced to recite at the beginning of the day, but it’s literally an oath to a flag. Completely fucked up, IMO.

Spectrum have the monopoly on internet service in my town. I won’t be engaging with them for anything else.

Is there a source that doesn’t violate GDPR?

…you know what literally none of them do? Refer to their users as “he”

You’re either deliberately lying or haven’t bothered to actually look.
