hey everyone writing code: you can't get around this. code does not exist in a noble mathematical void which absolves you of accountability. any system which people touch is tied into the fabric of society, and should be scrutinized for potential to do harm.

Mastodon is on XKCD! (And the misspelling was corrected!) https://xkcd.com/2045/

Found an interesting spam/scam scheme today:
- Attacker posts their link that redirects to a legit news article
- Twitter resolves the redirect to news article
- Twitter hides link from Tweet and displays Twitter Card with news domain
- Attacker changes redirect to spam site

The key vote is on Wednesday -- please call or write your MEP and ask them to vote against #article13 to protect the future of the internet! https://saveyourinternet.eu/
