| schestowitz | Social distancing is hitting some people a lot harder than others. | May 10 05:11 |
| schestowitz | Of course, there are huge inequities that are making life harder for a lot of people, even if they don't know anyone infected with the coronavirus. Distancing is pointing out long-standing inequalities in living situations (how much can you distance when you live in an apartment with an elevator, and get to work on public transit?) and, above all, in internet access. Here in New Mexico, rural residents, especially on the pueblos and | May 10 05:11 |
| schestowitz | reservations, often can't get a decently fast internet connection at any price. I hope that this will eventually lead to a reshaping of how internet access is sold in the US; but for now, it's a disaster for students trying to finish their coursework from home, for workers trying to do their jobs remotely, and for anyone trying to fill out a census form or an application for relief. | May 10 05:11 |

| schestowitz | It's a terrible problem, but that's not really what this article is about. Today I'm writing about the less tangible aspects of social distancing, and its implications for introverts and extroverts. | May 10 05:11 |

| schestowitz | I'd figured I should ask first; do you want me to share the password of this account with you? In this COVID mess it would be best to share accounts or relevance. The free plan means that uptime checks are irregular, but they give a decent record of downtime durations. | May 10 06:52 |
| schestowitz | Intern: My instinct is, he needs HTML practice, so we can set him up with "author" wordpress account, clarify we focus on software freedom and coach him on writing/formatting articles to that effect, which I can help him edit. At least for a start... we can move on from there | May 10 06:53 |

| schestowitz | > What does their terms of service say about shared accounts? | May 10 07:27 |
| schestowitz | I added bytesmedia as additional contact, which is perfectly normal. | May 10 07:27 |
| schestowitz | If the account holder shares an account, say, with a spouse... just in case... I really don't see an issue with that. As long as it is intentional. | May 10 07:27 |
| schestowitz | There's nothing sensitive in this account, which I think I've had for about 15 years (originally used just for my own site). There's virtually nothing in it but a list of monitored sites, with controls over when to send an alert and where to. | May 10 07:27 |
| schestowitz | Your alerting is a lot better anyway. | May 10 07:27 |
| schestowitz | I've just added my work email to Rianne's thunderbird setup. My personal email isn't IMAPed, so it would be trickier to do mail sharing with those accounts. | May 10 07:27 |
| schestowitz | I'm trying to tidy up some stuff today, assuming it would make things smoother and more robust. The news is relatively slow this weekend. I even sleep more than usual. | May 10 07:27 |
