i might be able to be talked down to allowing craigslist and the like to accept payment under some circumstances

as a treat i will allow myself the moderate, reformist policy position that paid advertisements should be entirely prohibited.

advertising is kinda almost always evil but advertising in fortune cookies is a special horror

oh did Pokémonth™ end

yo if y'all use Matrix with the Element client (or any other client implemented using the same libraries), y'all should update.

https://nebuchadnezzar-megolm.github.io/ and https://matrix.org/blog/2022/09/28/upgrade-now-to-address-encryption-vulns-in-matrix-sdks-and-clients describe some vulnerabilities that could be exploited by a malicious homeserver (some in the protocol itself, some just in Element) and the fixes (or, for the protocol issues that haven't yet been fixed, how users can mitigate them)

i may be slightly exaggerating.

when i try to read anti-oedipus i come away with a clearer idea of what they're trying to say than when i read wikipedia or some random blog trying to explain a three-act structure

i feel like every once in a while i get curious about, like dramatic/narrative structure and briefly look into things like N-act structures and every time find every explanation i find of them incomprehensible.
