"Liberal commentators are very eager to accuse the left of obsessing — and falling out — over things which, in reality, don't seem to the liberals to matter very much. They have a phrase for this: 'the narcissism of small differences.' Well, OK, we on the left do fall out over things which, seen from outside our spectrum, may seem trivial... But... let us, please, consider for the moment the beam in our brother's eye."

you know, i had to physically get the stalker out of my house, but even after that there's some _choice_ feelings to be had when someone forwards you the stalker sending them the pictures from inside your home

My motivation to get into PGP fights these days is very limited, but, well, sometimes I can't escape the "someone is wrong on the Internet" feeling.
The author of @… still does not understand what "Authenticated Encryption" means ("still", because I've seen these discussions back in the efail days). It is a pretty central conce…

«Margolis adds that this sort of sensitive information about a child's thoughts and feelings could be used for horrific forms of child abuse or manipulation. “To be blunt, this is a kidnapper's dream,” he says. “We're talking about information that lets someone lure a child into a really dangerous situation, and it was essentially accessible to anybody."»

Went out canvassing with the Green Party in ward next door.
The candidates seem nice and meeting other green members is nice, but the actual process of going around knocking on people's doors isn't really a great deal of fun for me.
Mostly nobody home, or else maybe peering through the spy-hole feeling intimidated by me I guess? Hard to tell.
Spoke to mostly Labour voters who claim not to be sure what they'll do next time. Couple of folks already Green.
Nobody around here is gonna vote Conservative or Liberal or Reform of course. "Your Party" not likely to get it together in time to even stand. It's a race to see how many Green and Independent opposition councilors can be elected to avoid a Labour full house. 47 Lab to 3 Green seats last time. Less than 200 votes in it in that seat. Probably will do better this time, maybe even win the seat. At least make some of the safe Labour seats a bit less safe.
Most exciting part was when the flat over the road went on fire and we had to call the fire brigade and a triplet of fire engines and couple of cop cars turned up to deal with it. Started with smelling smoke and wondering if that flat was on fire, by the time the fire fighters turned up remarkably quickly (someone else already called I imagine) there were flames licking at the windows.
An exploding e-scooter battery someone was saying, but dunno how they knew.
Nice to share a drink in the pub with the green crew after, but dunno that this canvassing lark is for me. I felt like either a spare part, or just backup muscle probably intimidating people into not opening the doors.
Probably I'd enjoy it more if I could get into an argument but apparently that's rare and the advice is to disengage anyway.

I.e., to stop posting on x.com
