“Our societies have not previously tolerated spaces that are beyond the reach of law enforcement [mass surveillance]” seems like a more complete statement. But can you imagine the Orwellian dystopia we’d live in if the statement was true?

the other downside to this is that now it's even harder for talented people to find secure and remunerative work so what on earth are they gonna do now

This is a recording from an official conference/workshop/whatever for xorg- something that is used by most Linux distributions for their desktop environment, so it's not some small or unknown project by any means.
I won't mention anything else, just skip around the video and tell me if you notice anything

Twitter founder Jack Dorsey is no longer on the board of Bluesky, the decentralized social media platform he helped start. In two posts today, Bluesky thanked Dorsey while confirming his departure and adding that it's searching for a new board member “who shares our commitment to building a social network that puts people in control of their experience.”
The posts come a day after an X user asked Dorsey if he was still on the company's board, and Dorsey responded, without further elaboration, “no.” As TechCrunch points out, Dorsey was on a tear yesterday, unfollowing all but three accounts on X while referring to Elon Musk's platform as “freedom technology.”
Neither Bluesky nor Dorsey himself seem to have said how or why he left the board. For now, two board members remain: CEO, Jay Graeber, and Jabber / XMPP inventor Jeremie Miller. Dorsey originally backed Bluesky in 2019 as a project to develop an open-source social media standard that he wanted Twitter to move to. He later joined its board of directors when it split from Twitter in 2022.
But Dorsey hadn't seemingly been a particularly active participant at the company. In March, when The Verge's Nilay Patel asked Graeber for Decoder about his level of involvement with Bluesky, she said she gets “some feedback occasionally,” but implied he's otherwise “being Jack Dorsey on a cloud,” as Nilay put it. Months before that interview, Dorsey had closed his Bluesky account.
Bluesky did not immediately respond to The Verge's request for comment.
Update May 5th, 2024, 4:37PM ET: Updated with Bluesky's confirmation of Dorsey's departure from its board.

I regret not doing more to support and defend @PalmerLuckey at Facebook. We were in different states and divisions, and I was largely out of the political loop, but when I became aware of the situation I should have made a clear and open statement of opposition to the witch hunt.… https://t.co/OTXBBnkK0p

It stopped working many months ago, when Reddit started redirecting image links to their www.reddit.com/media links. The image viewer thing is kind of helpful in that it tells you which post the image came from, but this is overshadowed by the fact that it prevents you from viewing the image directly. Thus, the Wayback Machine cannot archive the image.
I sent a wordswordswords email to the Internet Archive about it, and they unfortunately said they couldn't change it.
Hi,
No... I am very sorry but Reddit is much harder to archive now than it was in the past.
We are doing the best we can.
- Mark Graham, Director, the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive
ArchiveTeam also had difficulty archiving Reddit due to bans and paused their project. (Does anyone here know if there are logs of their IRC channel #shreddit?) At least PullPush works (for now), but it doesn't archive images. Luckily, archive.today and ghostarchive.org are still able to save Reddit images.
If you are annoyed by Reddit not letting you view images directly, here are some extensions I have not tried at all. They work by modifying the Accept header sent by your browser.

Local monero, a fiat way to buy monero with no KYC, will be shutting down.
Best way now is to use bisq if you want to avoid centralized exchanges. Maybe some image board will come up for p2p
