I'm alive, I'm not dead, etc.

Picked up some ed-tech work! Hacking on a site that kids use to learn to code. (Gave the dude friend prices as a result.)

Fundamentally, I'm not an English-speaking resident and my app doesn't include any user tracking. It is unrealistic for me to "moderate" the servers via the app.

I was notified that @tateisu's Mastodon app "Subway Tooter" has received a warning from the Google Play Store citing user-generated content that "incites discrimination".

A Mastodon app does not host or promote any content. The user types the address to connect to. The responsibility of moderating resides with that server. So unless Google is going to drop Chrome, Firefox and Opera from its platform, this is completely out of line.

Holy crap, google is apparently taking down all/most fediverse apps from google play on the grounds that that some servers in the fediverse engage in hate speech. At least three apps I know of anyway and I'd imagine the others will follow soon under the exact same reasoning.} Seems to be the case with Husky, Fedilab, and "subway" tooter.

this is a scary precedent if google play is going to ban any apps that can in any way be used to access content with hate speech. So what about a forum client, do they take that down just because there is a forum somewhere on the internet posting hate speech?

This is particularly worrisome because for most people Google Play is the only way they understand to install apps at all.

Picture attached of one of the notices received by fedilab.

ActivityPub could replace email I hooked up my Japan trip next year.

Almost got a mobile solution to chats working. It’s just a page that embeds the chats. Will need to do some conditional logic on the “Start chat” button of user profiles.

@freemo @cy @realcaseyrollins @realcaseyrollins its really easy to say this when youre not in the situation. When the person who has already fought you off once is reaching for a knife while youre still wrestling with them youre going to use whatever force is available to you to defend yourself

@valleyforge @freemo @realcaseyrollins @realcaseyrollins Maaaaybe they should train them to be a teeeensy bit less trigger happy?

Like shoot once and if it connects he’s probably disabled from the pain and shock, so just watch his gun arm. Knife arm. Potential knife arm. Sure it would get a few more cops killed, but it would save so many more innocent lives from being shot dead, and isn’t that what the police do? Put their life on the line to save the lives of innocents?

If all they’re trying to do is kill the bad guys without taking any risks, then they can just fire bomb his car from a distance, or at least firebomb the local block. No cops lives would be put at risk then! Much safer.

@realcaseyrollins The #fediverse of already full of instances run by #antifa and #blacklivesmatter sympathisers. It's an open source intelligence gold mine.
