.@Blender's videos on #YouTube have now come back, but they are also being told by Google/YT that they HAVE to monetise them. #Blender are considering refusing, which presumably would mean the videos being taken down again:

Whatever they once stood for, #Google's aim now is exploiting their users' content for maximum profit.

If you don't want your videos to be exploited, it is important to switch to an independent alternative:

Celeste Guap was kidnapped by Richmond Police Department this a.m. One has to ask if this is in retaliation to her paticipating in the sex worker justice rally yesterday. We have called several jails & she is not in the database. Community stand up. Lets find Jasmine now! Call every jail & keep calling until we find her: Santa Rita, Richmond, Martinez, Berkeley, El Cerrito, etc..

Okay, shop. Who wants a story about the adventures of the admin as a young troublemaker? It involves explosives.

🚨 IT Security alert 🚨

Tomorrow, researchers will publish a PGP related vulnerability. Both the researchers and the EFF recommend that we disable PGP in our mail clients, especially automatic decryption, and don't trust PGP email security until the paper has been released and the issues are better understood, as a conservative stopgap measure.

The EFF source and guides on how to disable PGP in three popular clients: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/attention-pgp-users-new-vulnerabilities-require-you-take-action-now #gpg #pgp #security #encryption

#FAQ

where is #Mastodon?, or rather, what would Mastodon's graphic be in this?

My landlord just tried to evict me, with a 72 hour notice, using his partner (my friend from the ISO) as the witness.

I refused to take the paperwork and backed away, he got loud and and lunged at me, I yelled "no stop" and tried to get back, knocked stuff off a shelf of his as I moved away fast.

I called my lawyer once I was safe.

Please boost, I need a place to stay.
