TFW you wake up with a ring on your finger

The drama of the day is frankly just embarrassing. Either the screenshots are real, and thus all claims of lying simply criticize the article's wording, but not the substance. Or they're fake, and the journalist in question is intentionally spreading carefully fabricated misinformation. There is no other option, it's as simple as that. If the latter were the case, then why is there still no explicit claim of the screenshots having been faked?

If someone's claiming that CSAM is why you should censor or centralize anything on the Internet, then it's virtually certain that they're on the wrong side of history. Not because CSAM is desirable, but because it's an absurd cop-out argument that you could equally apply to a printing press. And the only people who usually make it are censorious anti-Internet politicians.

I just enabled UnifiedPush notifications in Amethyst, and they're being delivered by... my XMPP client. Kind of like gas power plants having to back up solar and wind. 😅
