This is amazing. Bondi is making MORE of a disgrace of herself. Not answering a single Epstein question. Not even acting like she's going to. Instead she's attacking the democratic house members and YELLING at them.
She called "Trump the greatest president in history" with a fucking straight face while everyone laughed at her.
There are victims of Epstein there. A democrat asked them to stand if they wanted and asked them to raise their hand if they hadn't spoken to the DOJ.
They ALL stood, they ALL raised their hand.
Then the Dem rep asked Bondi to APOLOGIZE to the victims. Bondi instead went on the attack to try to drag through the mud the Democratic Representative.
Bondi REFUSES to APOLOGIZE to the victims. She wouldn't even say she'll take their info and reach them immediately. What a fucking joke.
Good day all! TODAY!

@orva@social.orva.fi @JenJen@mastodon.art LOL I didn't get to see Jen's face when I was trying them. LOL That is an EVIL look of satisfaction. LOL

> Wero lets users send money using just a phone number — no IBAN, no card, no intermediary.
LOL what a shit concept
@boilingsteam@mastodon.cloud any attempts are better than the current situation imo. I too don't like the idea of my currency tied to my phone number, but honestly I've had my number for 30 years now. I know there are lots of people that don't have a phone, but hopefully once they start prying the claws out of these massive payment processors that have no responsibility to anyone but the fat cats at the top.
Yet more amazingness from the EU:

Let me be very clear, I don't think this will solve all the problems, I do think it'll create new problems. But working to actively take back control, to break up with companies that have abused their position for decades, is a good thing in my opinion.
THIS is progress. And from progress comes innovation.

@gnilleps@mastodon.art @JenJen@mastodon.art I love trying new things. I never expected that kind of flavor in my mouth hole and not sure I want it again, but I will torture others with it. 😁
The DOJ Redacted a Photo of the Mona Lisa in the Epstein Files
While Epstein’s victims endure the fallout of their photos and names being exposed in the Department of Justice’s latest tranche of files, investigators redacted a photo of the Mona Lisa. Now we know why.
404 Media
@feed@www.404media.co With how stupid the redactions are in the Epstein files, who wants to bet they didn't use AI to do it? Because I'd take that bet I'm so certain that some asshole sold them just the AI they needed. They checked a handful by hand and said it's good enough.
That's the ONLY way this makes sense right? They redacted a photo of the Mona Lisa!
Good day all! Upcoming this week!

Head of the Late Night Linux Family of podcasts. I mostly get paid to talk to my friends about computers which is nice. It seems I was radicalised by basic decency.

I'm planning on starting a new podcast called WorksOnMyMachine.live or womm.live . Are there any software developers out there would like to join me?
The premise is we hop on a video or audio call on a Sunday morning, 0900 UTC-5, and we talk about your software application. However, I also attempt to follow your docs and use your application live. If I get stuck, or we experience issues we learn live, troubleshoot live, etc.
This allows all of us to learn your app, it helps go over your docs, etc.
Are there any software developers out there interested in doing this?
If so, what's a good place to contact you, what's the link to your website, what's your app do, etc.

Big Tech are the new
Cigarette Industry
Sugar Industry
Drug Dealers
They feed off of your addiction and we're finding more and more evidence they knew and exploited this.
BREAK UP BIG TECH!
@firesidefedi Sure. Wait, do you like lisp?
@screwlisp@gamerplus.org idk if I've had the pleasure of trying it to form an opinion.

Just a reminder to anyone that's near the Raleigh North Carolina area on Feb 28th some of us are getting together downtown Raleigh for a meetup.
@eric@mastodon.eom.dev and I will be there. Hoping a few others can come and hang out. We don't have to stay where we are, but figured we could all just meet up there and meet folks that share our interests. 😊

@teresa_athome@mastodon.online I've thought about an internet nutrition label. That kind of thing would be helpful as well. :-
@ozoned That is a brilliant idea. Did a quick search an found #boycottbeacon:
https://boycott-beacon.github.io/
Not precisely your idea but similar.
@HumanizeMobility@troet.cafe yeah seems close, but hasn't been updated in 10 months. Wonder if it's still active.
