      No small business has a fortress balance sheet. In practice most business owners don't live month-to-month, but they do live quarter-to-quarter. And, most are low-margin businesses with customer concentration. Most small businesses, and especially hospitality-based, are toast.

    #Twitter shuts down corporate travel due to #COVID-19 / #2019-nCoV; also, the Louvre closes [1]

    ----------------------
    5:37 pm: Twitter halts all non-critical business travel and events

    Twitter has joined a growing list of companies that have suspended business travel and events amid concerns about the spreading coronavirus outbreak.

    The social media company said it has halted non-critical travel effective immediately until the World Health Organization or the Centers for Disease Control clear companies to step back from pandemic precautionary measures, or when a coronavirus vaccine becomes available.

    "Our goal is to reduce the risk that anyone at Twitter might contract or inadvertently spread the virus," said Jennifer Christie, head of human resources at Twitter. "It is important that we take these proactive steps to protect ourselves and others and minimize the spread of COVID-19." -- Kimball

    5:26 pm: France's Louvre Museum closed

    The spreading coronavirus epidemic shut down France's Louvre Museum on Sunday, with workers who guard its famous trove of artworks fearful of being contaminated by the museum's flow of tourists from around the world.

    Almost three-quarters of the Louvre's 9.6 million visitors last year came from abroad. The world's most popular museum welcomes tens of thousands of fans daily in Paris.

    "We are very worried because we have visitors from everywhere," said Andre Sacristin, a Louvre employee and union representative.

    "The risk is very, very, very great," he said in a phone interview. While there are no known virus infections among the museum's 2,300 workers, "it's only a question of time," he said.

    A short statement from the Louvre said a staff meeting about virus prevention efforts stopped the museum from opening as scheduled Sunday morning. -- Associated Press

    So I haven't really looked at many #Democratic candidates. I thought the 2016 result was mostly caused by the unique dislike that their nominee #Hillary Rodham #Clinton had created since the days when her husband was Governor of #Arkansas. Her seeming belief that she alone is immune from complying with any legal requirements--the thing behind "crooked Hillary"--and her naked lust for power just turned people off.

    We need to stop pretending that #Russia did this to us. The #DNC did this by preselecting #HRC and scaring away any candidates who could win. If you've seen #Facebook and #Twitter, you know that political posts and ads on these sites don't change people's political beliefs. They just cause people to flock to the post to argue and name-call in the comments.

    I do see people saying that X candidate would lose to Donald #Trump, but that's hard to say.

    Bernard "Bernie" #Sanders _is_ too far left for many Americans. Elizabeth #Warren is a little bit closer to the center, but she and Sanders are both offensive to many people that I talk to. And like the article ( https://n5.federati.net/url/1341 ) mentions, people who've already paid for their college and loans are mostly not going to be in favor of totally free tuition. That still does not mean that either of them could not beat Trump. I just can't tell.

    Joseph #Biden? I don't know. I don't think people dislike him, I just don't think anyone is really enthusiastic about him. He's creepy like a school janitor who always decides to clean the restroom when your 8 year old daughter is in there. The evidence that he caused the firing of a prosecutor in the early stages of a corruption investigation (together with a timeline of the various ways that his sons and brother benefitted from his positions) _will_ be problematic in the same way that HRC's belief that she didn't have to meet the same standards everyone else does. (I know that as a federal employee, if this series of "coincidental" enrichments due to my position benefitted my family, I'd be in prison by now.)

    The others? The little that I know of Andrew #Yang, I like. But so far, he's barely even been noticed in the crowd of tweedledees and tweedledums. And that's a good description of how most of the candidates are perceived: Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

    Reminder that the original harassers on this network were users of #MastoSoc and the victims were on #SPC and other instances.

    Before ads about “no Nazis” brought harassers over from #Twitter and #Tumblr, the #Fediverse simply did not have this. It was get along or ignore (block) the person.

    When I used Quitter.se, I found out I could shut off Qvitter, so that when logged in, I would not have to see it. I did so.

    I imagine that an updated Qvitter could reproduce much of the behavior that I detest from #Twitter:

    * If any of your contacts "like" a post, it appears in your stream (which is what repeats / retweets are for)

    * random posts from people that your contacts follow appear in your stream

    * random posts on topics (and hashtags) you have posted about will appear in your stream

    * posts sometimes appear out of sequence, with some posts by people you're following never appearing at all (in Tw's case, not because of some federation issue, but simply because they're now doing algorithmic filtering and sorting)

    Obviously, Qv would not infest one's stream with advertisers.

    I should read up on some methods for #conversation_retrieval. If I subscribe to person X, it should be possible to see all of a conversation they are in. In real life, say you're walking through the college cafeteria and you see one of your friends sitting in a group of people that are having a discussion. If you walk up to $FRIEND and stand there for a few minutes, you will hear the speech of every person in that group (non-silent ones, that is), even if they are not your personal contacts.

    One of the critical flaws of most #Fediverse software is that we try too hard to clone what #Twitter did. Originally on T, the entire conversation would show in your timeline. I met many of my contacts because they interacted with people that were already my contacts. Then they changed that, and we seem to followed their mistaken path.

    Honestly, I would prefer to use #Diaspora over the "15 columns" Fediverse server, but whenever I log into my D* account, almost all my contacts have been silent for years and my stream is full of posts from newsbots squatting on the tags I've subscribed to. Whenever there is a real post, it is usually some political thing, rather than something I actually want to see.

    (No, simple mode does not fix most of the irritations of the multi-column interface. Though now that I've seen #Twitter's multi-column UI, I can see why people use it.)

    Also, what bozo decided years later that Diaspora (at least the JD instance) should start sending notifications and e-mails about people's birthdays? I believe that most of the people that joined early on joined specifically because they did not want their personal information dispersed unnecessarily. IMO, this is a violation of their trust. (Maybe this should be *opt-in* ... if you want your contacts to be notified of your important days such as birthdays and holidays, click a box to enable it.)

    @sean Evan was hugely focused on #Pump.io (instead of us), until his resources ran out and he got involved with a new start up. This is also when some of his Pump-related domains were lost.
    .
    It isn't surprising that he's active on #Twitter and #Facebook, just that Pump is still not compatible with anything else. (And that his personal Pump instance, E14N.com is gone.)

    To those people that are terrified that #Twitter will adopt #AP and come to the Fediverse and steal all our people back into captivity, there is nothing to worry about. I've been using T again the past few days and:
    1. the main interface feels like you're squeezed into a box; there is not enough focus on the actual tweets; it is also slow and bloated.
    2. the tweetdeck interface is better, but removing extraneous columns does not make the important one (your main stream) wider. But now I see where Mastodon gets its annoying and confusing million-column interface.
    3. my account is non-public and subs are by approval, so I greatly limit my annoyance; or I would if T did not insist on putting tweets of people I don't subscribe to in my stream just because someone I sub subs to them (or likes one of their tweets).
    4. I have more to say about T, but I'm going to have to make it a blog post.
    5. Dishonorable mention to all the "promoted tweet" ads stuffed in between the real tweets; and also to the "suggested follow" garbage that also appears there. If you're ad-supported, at least put the ads outside the main content.

    I'm down to about 200 old tweets, none of which are displayed for me to delete, plus twenty or so new ones. I'd really like to only leave the most recent twenty-five newest. I don't tweet anything of enduring or historic significance, so there's no need for any of them to exist longer than 90-180 days.

    Note to #Fediverse devs: That 90-180 day lifetime should be an option in your software.* Not that there is any guarantee that a post that federates to other instances will also be deleted on all those other instances when your own instance deletes it.

    * That is, delete in X days unless someone interacts with it or the poster marks it as worth keeping longer.
