Opt out, not in. Likely because they company is run by sociopaths.
You might want to shut this off in your profile. If you know anyone who works in management at DoorDash, consider tossing them into your nearest black hole. #privacy
@josh I'm still getting the hang of #wikidata, maybe someone who's more familiar with it can double-check my query, but this is what I was able to pull out.
This week, the Wall Street Journal opinion section published an op-ed about our #tax coverage.
We don't typically comment on our newsgathering process, but this opinion essay has factual errors in the headline and in the essay that should be corrected.
@ProPublica Once again, the Wall St. Journal’s editorial page proves itself to be the home of unrecondite scoundrels, liars and thin-skinned oligarchs who squeal like stuck pigs at any possible encroachment on their perceived privilege
Congress has rejected legislation that would enable the public to see the personal stock portfolios of lawmakers—or to ban them from trading, or holding, individual stocks.
Our nonprofit investigative newsroom digs through hundreds of forms to put this ethics information cleanly online:
To follow along with the personal investments of Congress, and which bills get brought up for a vote (and which are killed off), get Sludge news over email—and consider supporting this time-intensive work:
"Texas delegates voted on a 2024 platform at the state’s GOP Convention on Saturday and aim to tally the votes by Wednesday to finalize their platform for the coming year. The proposal called for new legislation to solidify fetal personhood ideology into law, define abortion care as homicide and criminalize in vitro fertilization, first reported by feminist writer Jessica Valenti.”
@Jonathanglick@StillIRise1963 while I absolutely agree there should be I will be that guy and remind folks that there are millions of people suffering in those states that did not vote fascist and did vote for Dems.
I'm in Florida. We have more people who voted Democrat than most states have people.
But there absolutely should be targeted boycotts. Florida fascists destroyed most of the economy that's not tourism. Boycott the tourism maybe one industry at a time. As a suggestion.
@Jonathanglick@StillIRise1963 frankly, the cruise ship industry is one of the biggest threats to the environment. And it's essential to the economy here.
Is there a good resource or book for learning about some of the details of how webservers work?
For example if I want an IP address on a intranet to be a webpage that people on that intranet can go to... how would I set that up from scratch. Let's say I have a machine with a static IP on the local net... (but what I really also need to understand is how a static IP is established locally, a DNS?)
Maybe the dream book or resource doesn't exist. But I ask anyway.
Or even is Django like a small basic version of Apache?
no, they are entirely different things. apache is a generic http server that serves static files (serving files as-is), forward connections to secondary servers, and is also a php runtime.
django is a web framework, and that means you have to write a program on top of it. this program can technically does what apache does, but there is no point to it—you’re better off just using apache (or nginx).
a python’s equivalent to apache would be python -m http.server, which is indeed a very basic web server, way more basic than apache and only serve static files from one directory without much configs.
I assume it is I had to turn off one to run the other or else put them on different sockets.
yes, apache and the server you implement using django have to run on different ports. otherwise, when you request, http://localhost:<the port> , how could it know which server handles the request? it is common, however, to run both apache (or nginx) and other servers, with the generic server being a gateway to forward requests to other servers. with this setup, the gateway server (apache/nginx) listens to http/https ports (80/443) and other servers listens to different port, or to their own sockets. we then declare in the apache’s config file that if a request matches this pattern, then it should forward the request to that server
Consider celebrating #Metric Day on September 23 this year. It'll be the 25 anniversary of the NASA Mars Climate Orbiter slamming into the planet because one contractor (Lockheed Martin) disregarded NASA spec and calibrated a sensor in lbf instead of N.
This was a US $327.6 million project. This is the only image of Mars that the probe produced, taken at over 4 million kilometres away from the planet. The 576 non-zero pixels effectively cost $568,750 each.
S and M own a house as joint tenants. Following a dispute with their neighbors, M raises an upside-down American flag on the flagpole in their yard. S asks M to remove it, but M refuses. S then says, “there were no additional steps that I could have taken to have the flag taken down more promptly.”
Which of the following best explains why S is wrong?
(A) M’s flying of the flag was an ouster of S.
(B) M committed waste.
(C) The flag created a nuisance.
(D) S had an undivided right to possession.
imho the biggest difference is that if instance1.social decides that hachyderm is a problem I can go to instance2.social that hasn't blocked hachyderm.
The argument isn't that mastodon is free from decisions, but that those decisions don't have a blanket effect on all users and are (usually) fairly easy to get around.

They don't want to talk about it because when they did, mantra style, it didn't go over well.
Telling people they're doing fine when that isn't the reality they feel they're living is gaslighting.
It isn't a PR war to win. It's a sense of future to win. How is it even close with a Trump to defeat?
