@chris__martin with academia run as corporations on the IT side, it's even worse.

E.g. using our email (office365 😠 ) in the normal way (threaded discussion with replies in text) isn't possible.

@melissawm "vlees noch vis" (neither meat nor fish) in the Dutch version

@melissawm mamahuhu means "so-so" in Mandarin, but also "horse horse tiger tiger" (that's a bit of useless info I learnt in my 8 years in Singapore:-))

@christianp tell them it's a GDPR violation to have shared logins like this one. 🙂

one can have one user with multiple keys only for non-shell accounts (GitHub etc do this)

@chris__martin once it proved to be useful for me. A package I ordered got delivered to a wrong place, and I was able to argue about this thanks to the photo.

@vicgrinberg badness 10000!

@AdamCoffman OTOH I enjoyed shoveling away our 6 or so inches here. Snowblowers must be only allowed to certified incapacitated elders. 🙂

@argumatronic.bsky.social How does one revolt against the IRS?

@tomkalei the real privileged people nowadays don't have mobile phones. 🙂

@tomkalei That's peanuts. You might know how much this costs with a lawyer or a notary... 🙂

@chris__martin besides, dismantling USAID last year has killed an estimated 600000 people, 400000 of them children. But, I guess, cause they are mostly black and far away, a full of compassion USian just shrugs.
