For me, the red line was funding and supporting apartheid and a genocide, and blocking the intruments of international law from addressing it. npub1d7rsw3egy2m8u65krlhcca0z7m83fnuwela9m8z34x4ruvfal2vse84l79 Mason Loring Bliss [abstract=apub]cw: uspol[/abstract] npub1d7rsw3egy2m8u65krlhcca0z7m83fnuwela9m8z34x4ruvfal2vse84l79 Mason Loring Bliss [abstract=apub]cw: uspol[/abstract] npub1d7rsw3egy2m8u65krlhcca0z7m83fnuwela9m8z34x4ruvfal2vse84l79 Mason Loring Bliss @[url=https://kitty.social/users/9un0qy3f60l500kc]Linux Is Best[/url] Jill Stein for POTUS, blue team otherwise npub1d7rsw3egy2m8u65krlhcca0z7m83fnuwela9m8z34x4ruvfal2vse84l79 Mason Loring Bliss @[url=https://fosstodon.org/users/drewdevault]Drew DeVault[/url] The voice mailbox is full. Has anyone found an alternate number? npub1d7rsw3egy2m8u65krlhcca0z7m83fnuwela9m8z34x4ruvfal2vse84l79 Mason Loring Bliss @[url=https://kolektiva.social/users/donkeyherder]misty donkey herder[/url] I'm sorry you lost some of your hens. We've lost two over the last couple weeks, and it's deeply distressing. They're our beloved pets. The first was taken by something that came out of the woods. We didn't see what, and the trail didn't go far enough for us to find our girl, although we were fairly deep into the woods when it ended. The other hen was ill, and not as young as she once was, so we had her in the indoors hospital pen, where she lived out the remainder of her life getting good food and amprolium-laced water as long as she wanted it. npub1d7rsw3egy2m8u65krlhcca0z7m83fnuwela9m8z34x4ruvfal2vse84l79 Mason Loring Bliss @[url=https://social.treehouse.systems/users/marcan]Hector Martin[/url] The big caveat there is domain lookalikes via unicode, typosquatting, and similar tricks. I'd still shy away from following a link from an email directly, on general principles. If you never do it, you never get tricked. If I see an email from a place where I have some relationship, I invariably go to my bookmark for the place and find the notification or information by navigating through their site. npub1d7rsw3egy2m8u65krlhcca0z7m83fnuwela9m8z34x4ruvfal2vse84l79 Mason Loring Bliss @[url=https://social.treehouse.systems/users/marcan]Hector Martin[/url] You lost me at, "When you click the payment link". Never do that. You invite all kinds of nastiness: potential for malware exposure, information gathering in their web logs, information gathering in their DNS logs, information gathering via packet captures. npub1d7rsw3egy2m8u65krlhcca0z7m83fnuwela9m8z34x4ruvfal2vse84l79 Mason Loring Bliss @[url=https://digipres.club/users/dsalo]Dorothea Salo[/url] @[url=https://mathstodon.xyz/users/emjonaitis]Erin Jonaitis[/url] Can I trouble you for a summary of your issues with him?

Specific applications for specific goals. I don't think anyone has an issue with AlphaGo or medical imaging, because they're well-bounded. npub1d7rsw3egy2m8u65krlhcca0z7m83fnuwela9m8z34x4ruvfal2vse84l79 Mason Loring Bliss [abstract]cw: terrible pun[/abstract]@[url=https://tech.lgbt/users/SunnJax]SunnJax 🌻🏳️🌈 :Fire_Pride:[/url] Stop teaseling us with that gorgeous view! npub1d7rsw3egy2m8u65krlhcca0z7m83fnuwela9m8z34x4ruvfal2vse84l79 Mason Loring Bliss @[url=https://glammr.us/users/jessamyn]Jessamyn[/url] You might also want dmarc and a Google (postmaster tools) record for your DNS. That last is a bit obnoxious but it can't hurt. npub1d7rsw3egy2m8u65krlhcca0z7m83fnuwela9m8z34x4ruvfal2vse84l79 Mason Loring Bliss I'd like a Sanders/Turner ticket, but we won't have that until we implement ranked choice voting. npub1d7rsw3egy2m8u65krlhcca0z7m83fnuwela9m8z34x4ruvfal2vse84l79 Mason Loring Bliss Neither of them is my top pick by a long shot but damned if they're not both entirely acceptable. I'm kind of stunned that the blue team has a ticket I'll vote for, after so very many years.
