@ChristianD @h I think some US people did try to argue that in the 90s for crypto. They claimed that strong encryption was essentially a weapon, and hence the US gov couldn't regulate it (which they were trying to do).
People pointed out that if that tactics were used, it would be much easier for non-US countries to ban crypto. "See it's a weapon!"
I'm really 100% unconcerned about what some US people believe or cease to believe is Free Speech according to their morals and laws.
The internet is a place far larger and the US constitution and whatever morals it encodes are very much for contention, and can't be expected to be taken at face value.

@Zecora CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY is great, and a great solution to index bloat, which is the bane of my life

- "Dude governments are VITAL for capitalism. Who's gonna enforce the artificial scarcity you need to thrive?"
- "Hey that's not capitalism, that's cronyism, we never had TRUE capitalism"
- "So you're telling me capitalism only works on paper?"

@Zecora that's OK. I'm OK with that data being a bit stale and requiring manual refresh. Didn't know about the concurrently thing.
Loitering: the act of existing in a capitalist space without succumbing to capitalism
@Zecora but... It's saved right? It's not going away? I know the data can be stale and that's OK
OK it turns out using materialised views in #PostgreSQL is *significantly* speeding up some things I need to do.

"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is really a story about how harassers/abusers suddenly turn "nice" when they want something from you.
Does anyone know of queer friendly tech companies in #London ?
My friend is looking for a new role so please retoot this if you know your followers are around there :)
I am all in favour of #decentralisation, but I cannot stand #cryptocurrencies like #Bitcoin, which is (intentionally) libertarianism.
