time to rise up, disobey. Open your business, if you don't have business, don't use mask, don't social distance

#ioapro ("I open") is the hashtag on twitter

Telegram @ioapro

Stasera tutti a cena fuori e pagare cash

"Tonight everybody out for dinner and pay by cash"

Every region in Italy has a telegram group to coordinate the disobedience

This is beatiful

Birdsite blue checks never let the facts get in the way of 102k endorphin hits.

Parler has a static status page up. Not the whole site. And the page resolves to an IP address in Belize. Last I checked, that's in South America.

"I WANT TO BELIEVE!"

If in 2021 you still think that "A single bitcoin transaction alone consumes 621 KWh", you should probably focus your attention on things you understand, because you clearly don't understand how Bitcoin work.

"A Washington nonprofit group sued Apple in federal court Sunday, demanding that it remove Telegram, a chat and social media app, from its app store for failing to crack down on violent, extremist conversation in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol."

For anyone unconvinced that twitter is algorithmically flagging keywords. They don’t even use a fancy AI. They look for substrings.

"In the Asian Flu of 1957-58, They Rejected Lockdowns"

Good article comparing the radically different approach taken to the asian flu than covid, even though the Asian flu was significantly more deadly.

"Newspapers barely covered it and most people did not notice it."

"The refusal to disrupt society and constrain freedom in the presence of a pathogen was an achievement of modern ideas of public health."

Published in nature: Bitcoin emissions alone could push global warming above 2°C. -->>

It is an embarrassment that this was published! They scaled energy with number of transactions: "At each time step, CO2 emissions for the given number of transactions were estimated based on the emissions generated to mine that number of transactions in 2017."

Bitcoin network does not work that way. Energy is spent securing the blockchain, not per transaction.

"May 16th 2019: Someone calls my then employer, falsely identifying themself as a police officer. Office manager proceeded to give out my private phone number and email. I have a written statement about this event from the Office manager." - twitter.com/hodlonaut/status/1

One of the dangers of being willing to talk to police, for any reason: they might not be police.

Maybe I'll hook it up to an accurate user count bot at some point, but anyway: There are 2,728 Mastodon servers online today and on them, there are 252,893 monthly active users, a number that increased by 45,517 since Jan 11th.

@pete @bryancyan @Genericblog Not only that, but even closed groups were getting the e-mail notice that they need to leave. With open groups like DD it's obvious what's going on because anyone can join and see. But somehow they saw what's happening in a few closed groups. Could be that someone in them snitched, but it's still concerning.

Pretty lol how low-density "red" states with much harder distribution challenges like West Virginia, Alaska, and the Dakotas are the ones doing best at actually vaccinating people. While high-density "blue" states like New York and California are way behind, even though they have every advantage. California is in 5th last place!

It's almost like red states are actually trying to solve a problem rather than milk covid forever for political gains...
