jetbrains is far from the first company to make this particular pair of claims but it is simply, on the most fundamental level, impossible to mass-collect people’s terminal and editor contents and also not collect sensitive or personal data.

Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine Heymans @astroroyalscot.bsky.social · 12h

Me and my good pal Andrew from @astronomyedinburgh.bsky.social gatecrashed a local #supermoon gathering last night with his Dobsonian🔭. Minds were blown as we looked at the lunar mare and craters through patchy holes in the cloud cover. Pop-up sidewalk astronomy at its best - loved it!

People pointing up at the stars. In the centre a reasonably large telescope looks up towards the moon.

A gathering of people lit up by the supermoon moonlight in patchy cloud

People huddled around a telescope, the moon in the sky. The astronomers red light gives the scene an eerie glow.

You figure Stephen Miller got caught up in the moment after he said the quiet part out loud..

He was saying, vistas of men and little brown shirts with arm bands, marching in lock step.

CNN was such a chickenshit for not keeping the original material up.

I’m quilting a sign for the October 18th #protest — I’ll be wearing a quilted witch’s hat so I’d like to do the first one, but not a lot of people got my #nokings/Only Quilt Rulers sign from last time 🤷‍♀️ so maybe it should be the second one?

Let me know what you think…
