Keybase now has "exploding" messages now and all I can think of is the recurring Inspector Gadget gag. 😐

I've just seen a website requiring the following rules to create a new password:

- maximum of 8 characters
- numbers and letters
- can't use the last three passwords you've previously used on your account

That... doesn't sound... safe. 😬

For all the fellow #artists around here who haven't access to gesture/figure drawing classes, Have you ever tried #CroquisCafe ? It's a nice YT channel, eventhough drawing a something on a screen is really different than drawing someone in front of you. Here's my sketches from this video : https://youtu.be/zwP21edV1w4 Blue ones are 1 min, pink ones are 2 mins and the reddish one is 5 min :)

Feeling tired, depressed and unproductive. 😔

#Facebook to discontinue apps posting to a Facebook account and allowing RSVPs. Just more moves to further the corporate silo and strike a blow to the #indieweb

@emi @Manuela @jakebeamish @paregorios @Matt_Noyes @mattcropp @samtoland would that be too meta (me discussing content that might get me suspended within the media that the code applies to...)

;)

@samtoland where's the best place to discuss the coc? I'd like to run some scenarios by someone :)

@samtoland Same in the UK but we do at least have voices questioning the quality of the jobs or the wider impact of corporations on national life. In Ireland it feels like there's an attitude that you should just be grateful to the almighty 'job creators' and not question.

Irish radio news today sounded like an advertorial for Amazon. No criticism of the company whatsoever allowed - just a glowing report about the benevolent US tech overlords gracing Ireland with a few hundred jobs.

This is what a country that has sold its soul to Big Tech looks like.

Hi everybody! Working with a self-managed Croatian #workercoop the last 3 years, me and a good friend have been producing customized #t-shirts and other garments for music bands, trade unions and inviduals.

Now we are exploring the #platformcoop world looking for inspiration, join forces with like-minded people and eventually create more impact!

I believe in grassroots worker activism, enjoy a good meal and play the drums in a band :)

Looking forward to this! #socialcoop

"Ms Munster said it was clear from Freedom of Information documents that the law was broken in relation to making the PSC mandatory in the first place for driver theory tests"
The #GDPR kills another stupid, corrosive idea!
