Facebook's "fact-checking" review and appeals process is insanely bad. I'd have sent anyone who wrote policy this ridiculous for retraining.
I posted the same post as I posted here about Hunter Biden's Laptop ( https://infosec.exchange/@lorry/114741328048838021 ) as a partly satirical and partly informative post on what those MAGA nutjobs are saying - And I got a strike for posting misinformation.
I appealed, and was told instantly that my appeal was rejected - Both of the messages Facebook sent to me pointed at a misinformation page that was nothing to do with this which is even weirder:
Is the link they say explains why this Hunter Biden laptop post is wrong.
I was told:
"A reviewer from our team checked your post again.
They found information that fact checkers say is missing context."
The post clearly has a whole load of context, it explains the reason for the post clearly. This crap needs nuance, or it's just removing the ability to flag misinformation by flagging it as misinformaiton.
La la laaaa. No wonder people complain about moderation!

Ah, the semiannual vague-threat/browbeating email from the administration telling us that--despite said administration's nearly rabid refusal to consider the possibility of paying faculty according to the number of hours they work--we have to work a certain number of hours. Or rather the administration wants us to.
Let's see their tactics this semester:
Students have a right to take their final exam at the arbitrary time scheduled by some office on campus? What right is that? Is it up there with trans rights, civil rights, and other inalienable ones? Where and how was this right decided?
Students are at a "decided disadvantage" when a prof gives them an exam a couple of days early! Wow. That's big news. Disadvantaged in what way? Research, please.
The old standby "expected." This is where admins want to say "required" or "mandated" but the union has won court cases saying there are no particular days or hours we need to be on campus, except actual class sessions (and here are exceptions for illness, etc., though the admins are working to eliminate those).
It's an "Approved final exam policy", all right. Approved by administrators and a committee/working group with key members appointed by administrators. Those administrators really do not like democratic processes, but they like to pretend their mandates (I mean expectations) are democratically driven.

![email from the people in the very tall building:
[email from the higher-ups]
The end of the semester is in sight! As we head into Final Exams next week, this is a reminder about [our] approved Final Exam Policy. [BOLD]Faculty are expected to hold exams during finals week OR hold a class session during the assigned final exam time.[/BOLD]
Final Exam week is counted into the contact time required by the [State] Department of Education. The policy states, “Final examination week is part of the regular semester and should be interpreted in that context. Students who are asked to take final examinations (variously interpreted as terminal, non-comprehensive, etc.) before the regular examination week are put at a decided disadvantage. Faculty members who do not give final examinations during the regular period scheduled for such examinations are expected to use that period for review or to utilize the time in some formal way in a classroom setting.”
[BOLD]All students have the right to take their final examination at the time scheduled by the Registrar’s office.[/BOLD] The Spring 2025 Final Exam schedule can be located on the Registrar’s Office website.
I ask that you be sure you are adhering to our campus policy: faculty are expected to be on campus during finals week. The full policy, including the resolution of a 3-finals-in-one-day conflict, can be found in the Policy Library.
[PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE] Thank you for your continued good work in the classroom! [/P-A]](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/114/463/870/926/812/848/original/b71a04b8fa1484fc.png)

band was up there playing
a real #shitty song
and every one of us was singing along
cuz we were all suckers then
nobody knew much about anything
we the wild and stupid set
none had any sense about quality yet
nothing changed for one or two
I’m one still alive and the other one’s you
I bet you I can sing a better blues
all I got to do is read the news
or scroll insults from the scared and dumb
never learned how to live or love anyone
sit down and sing yourself a shitty tune🪶

(In all fairness I own several guns, including ARs, Semi-Auto Pistols, revolver and a shotgun)
Big man, had to go and get a #gun to “defend” himself against an #unarmed person.
I’m sorry, but if you get your nose hurt because you get out of the car and #escalate, don’t be surprised if you get hit.
Also, that’s not an excuse for self defense.
The #shitty #southern #cops picked the wrong side.
MAGA Mike Johnson was on FOX talking about the US economy and stuttered through the following statement:
"The adults are back in the room, and we're going to turn this economy around. We need a little runway to do it... I keep using this metaphor of an aircraft carrier, you know, it took decades to get into the mess that we're in. You don't turn an aircraft carrier on a dime, but you need miles of open ocean to do it"
Given his position in the government, I am sure he should know more about US Aircraft carriers. They can turn on a dime, and what's more, even at 30 knots they don't need miles of open ocean to turn, they are almost as nimble as a Seadoo when they want to be!
The USS Abraham Lincoln has a message for your shitty metaphor, Mike.

Hmmm, for some weeks now I had problems with #network - on every #distro, every #DE. With my inbuilt 2.5 Gig #Realtek NIC the connection would just drop. On 2.5 Gig #Intel I226-V the ping response times would spike to 100-200 ms, which made it unusable (and in #Plasma caused the DE to become unresponsive).
Switched to old 1 Gig Intel 82571, and it would set itself to 100 Mbps. I changed cable from Cat 5e UTP to Cat 6 FTP and it jumped to 1 Gig.
Was the #shitty #cable the #problem all along...?
Why is the NYT reporting this puritanical Christian-nationalist propaganda gobshite:
With this MAGA propaganda article?
I dunno who Julian E. Barnes is but this parrot piece with a complete lack of research, context or explanation is an insult to journalism everywhere.
