Capitulation to the tyrant:
#Meta agreed to pay $25M to settle #Trump lawsuit alleging #censorship
Meta settled a lingering 2021 lawsuit brought by Trump who alleged the #tech giant improperly suspended his #SocialMedia accounts after the #Jan6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
#MarkZuckerberg told investors during an earnings call Wed that Trump’s recent election gave the company a new opportunity to rewrite its fraught relationship w/the American govt.

Waaaay back in the late 1990s I discovered Lyx - and have been using it ever since ... almost 30 years!
Lyx has a noble ambition - to let you to write documents as if you were using a GUI word processor, but render the documents using #LaTex.
✅ The key point is to write content - not code.
It almost succeeds.
P.S. This is not an invitation to post critiques about any of these technologies or recommendations about what I should be doing instead.

Here is the beginning of the 3rd #thread on Elon Musk's takeover of the US government:
Elon Musk’s Demolition Crew
https://projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-doge-tracker/
"Musk’s team, known as the Dept of Govt Efficiency, has already thrown entire swaths of the federal #government & its programs into disarray — programs that serve millions of #Americans.
#Musk himself has made no secret of his intentions, saying that #DOGE is a “wood chipper for bureaucracy” and that he is “deleting” agencies."

How the Terrorgram Collective’s Neo-Nazi Influencers Groomed a Teen to Kill
—
The murders of two people outside an LGBTQ+ bar at first looked like the act of a lone shooter. A ProPublica and FRONTLINE investigation shows they were, in fact, the culmination of a coordinated, international recruiting effort by online extremists.
