@jono they are talking about shoes in luggage. If folks aren’t putting them in bags are they just throwing them in?

True fact: when I was a kid I used to rebel by going to random churches as my mum had told me to go to “church” every Sunday rather than “mass” which was what she really meant.

JFC. There is no way that I am sending my kid to a college campus that uses anything even remotely like this.

New study shows that unflagged, factual but misleading Facebook posts reduced the intent to receive the -19 vaccine 46 times more than did false posts flagged by fact-checkers as misinformation, which the authors say points to the need to consider the reach and impact of content rather than just its veracity. Quantifying the impact of misinformation and vaccine-skeptical content on Facebook

I wasn’t aware being against Hamas meant I had to be pro-Israel.

Both sides suck balls in this. The victims are the Palestinians and those in Israel opposed to the war - and the Jews around the world being blamed for what Netanyahu is doing.

kcarruthers,
@kcarruthers@mastodon.social avatar

@anathema_device the astonishing thing is not that Hamas is evil (we’ve known that for ages) but rather that Israel have squandered any vestige of their good name by undertaking war crimes on an industrial scale against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Hey this wasn’t just any account it was the account of a major superannuation (pension) fund in Australia. Suggest corporate folks read this carefully!

1 google employee fat finger was apparently able to delete not just an instance but the entire corporate customer account including backups without any confirmations or other controls! 🙀

It’s an egregious error of information security & design on Google’s part should never have been possible on a production system.
