“According to a recent poll, more than 70 percent of Britons under the age of 50 are indifferent to the coronation. Even so, a staggering 250 million pounds ($315m) of magicked-up taxpayer money will be spent on this single day even as thousands of nurses, doctors, teachers and other key public workers have been told for months there is no money in the coffers to offer them a meaningful pay rise.”

"The Luddites did what every science fiction writer does: they took a technology and imagined all the different ways it could be used – who it could be used for and whom it could be used against. They demanded the creation of a parallel universe in which the left fork was taken, rather than the right." - @pluralistic

"Democratizing access to the means of production isn’t intrinsically anti-labor – it’s only bad for workers when the bounty of automation is disproportionally allocated to a small number of capital owners, and not workers."

Cory Doctorow: Science Fiction is a Luddite Literature
From 1811-1816, a secret society styling themselves “the Luddites” smashed textile machinery in the mills of England. Today, we use “Luddite” as a pejorative referring to backwards, anti-technology…Locus Online

India bans flagship client for the Matrix network
Element is one of 14 messaging apps blocked by the Central Indian Government which - we believe from media reports - relates to Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000.Denise Almeida (Element Blog)

per the article...
''banning Element because it gives access to the Matrix network is the equivalent to blocking Google Chrome because it gives people access to the web...''
Yep. Just goes to show those in power are out of touch and have a hard time wrapping their heads around newer technologies.

Mastodon rendering of BBCode is severely limited.

in reply to Hank G ☑️ • • •Well yes but HTML renders text as typed in as a post or comment.
I did experiment with BBCode rendering using my different accounts on those different modes, and what I was describing was the result of that experiment. Sometimes Mastodon would properly render a spoiler command and sometimes it wouldn't
It DEFINITELY doesn't recognize text formatting BBCode!
...and apparently neither does friendica.myportal where font color is concerned. The font color BBCode works on Outsourced Math, however. Hmmmmm!FIXED!!
