hello there, I'm back. I had no internet for 5 days straight and had some minor damage around the house due to the cyclone.
Here is a Dragon for you. I think it might like salty water. Or maybe it just came to see the sunset? Or possible it is just a Sea Dragon coming back home.

From the fediverse: saving the news from Big Tech, and why you shouldn’t use Brave browser
Excellent links by way of the fediverse today. First up, Cory Doctorow about saving the news from Big Tech, with sentiments that aren’t far off my own, many of which have been recorded on this blog. His post is from June 2023.Jack Yan: the Persuader Blog

Mr Meta-Facebook is throwing his weight around, desperately trying to have this book withdrawn (he is a big supporter of free speech) so obviously it's best others don't read it or share this information... he's already... errrm... 'obtained' an injunction preventing the author from further promoting it herself.
Thanks to science, another spanish flu style catastrophe as in 1918 was prevented.
"The mRNA vaccines prevented millions of deaths. The technology for building new, effective vaccines quickly came on in leaps and bounds. Masks worked. And as with every pandemic in recent history, subsequent reviews have found that the advice to go early and hard with containment was correct."

You know I had to do a #weirdpizza for Pi day.
This is peach, and (it may not surprise you to learn) peaches are not quite in season in March 😅
So some of them were a little tougher than others.
The flavor was okay, I probably wouldn't do this one again over any other fruit.
Nach Köln ist allerdings sehr weit.
Aber sehr schön gemachter Balkon, besonders der Speiskübel mit der Deko außenrum gefällt mir

*DARK MAGA* If you're a little confused about what Musk is trying to achieve with DOGE, here's the breakdown: Elon Musk and Peter Thiel cofounded a company… | 340 comments on LinkedInJon Sneider (www.linkedin.com)
The article has some useful context about Musk's career, notably what a sleazeball he has always been in his business and public dealings. It also points up the way governments have refused to do their regulatory jobs – and, less explicitly, how journalism has been a lapdog along the way.
But as it accurately points out Musk's desperate efforts to slow or reverse the well-deserved slide at Tesla, it doesn't get into the truly scary stuff. Namely, Musk won't give a damn about Tesla or its shareholders if his coup (per the first piece in this newsletter) succeeds. If he can divert U.S. government spending even more (see: SpaceX) into his bank accounts, Tesla will be an afterthought. Everything we know about this guy says there are no boundaries on his lust for money, and power. - @dangillmor
