@Alex :autism: :neofox_flag_ace: Good to know. I don't like to use third-party lists, because I use defederation as a last resort, and want to make those calls on a case-by-case basis as I become aware of them. Fortunately, I'm a small enough server that that's been a sustainable policy so far.
I'll check out those other two, though I'm pretty sure I already have at least noagendatube.com blocked already. It sounds familiar.
So, I'm eating a Wagonwheel for the first time since childhood. I'm not sure if they've gotten significantly smaller, or if I'm just remembering them as being larger than they were.
Probably both.
There's this little Chinese restaurant that Katy and I like to order from occasionally. Because this is Canada, the fortune cookies tend to have English and French on them (one language on each side of the paper). They're manufactured in such a way that when I crack them open, I usually see the French side first, which usually isn't a problem.
I'll admit that my French is not as good as my English, but I'm more or less bilingual. This time though, I swear the French side of the fortune was generated by a Markov chain or something. I was actually forced to read the English side to figure out what they were trying to say.
The French side:
Vos yeux délicieux, voire dynamiques, ont fait naître un admirateur mystérieux.
The English side:
Your dynamic eyes have attracted a secret admirer.
Am I just forgetting how to speak French, or is this a really clumsily constructed sentence?

At some point (apparently last December) a new #Friendica version came out and I hadn't noticed. Finally got around to upgrading, and it seems to be running much more smoothly than the previous version.
Also, there's a "channels" feature now? Gonna have to look into what that is.
The reason I dislike pure free-market #capitalism is that it invariably leads to decisions being made by accountants that should instead be made by scientists and engineers. When this happens, people tend to die.
Since the capitalist typically doesn't suffer these consequences directly, the only factor that ends up mattering is what it does to their balance sheet.
Strong regulation can translate these human costs into financial ones. To those who argue against this approach, I submit that the only alternative solution to the problem is decidedly... less kind.

&& as having a higher operator precedence than ||. That led to a fun little bug.
Today while I was out, I saw a guy at a busy intersection holding a handwritten sign. Obviously, I assumed he was panhandling, because people frequently do that there.
As I approached, I saw that his sign only had a URL on it. Out of curiosity, I visited it. Turns out it was some bitcoin mining scam.
While this was definitely a novel marketing approach, I wonder how they figured this particular tactic would instill confidence in anyone...
