   Thank God we won the Cold War. For a while there, it was touch and go, the future of the world on a knife-edge.

   On one side, we had a system permeated top to bottom by an official state ideology. Employment and freedom was made contingent on adherence, an extensive network of censors and informers was established to maintain the illusion that dissenters were a minority, harsh punishments were meted out to political prisoners, and the state took control of vast swathes of the economy.

   On the other, the promise of freedom: freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and association, freedom to do as you would with your private property.

   It was, as I said, close. But in the end, despite Thatcher’s brief, doomed fightback, the Socialists won.

   Hot take:

   Calling it #GNU / #Linux makes about as much sense as calling yourself teeth/human. Yes it's kinda the default to have but it's not mandatory or uniquely coupled either way and it's most certainly not the defining property.

   It's Linux. That's it.

   in reply to

   @aral and it's kinda working. For the first time in a long while people start to care about content quality, legitimacy and intellectual property.

   It's almost like #accelerationism works?

   Another Mastodon feature I'd like that the dead bird site had: the ability to leave a conversation.

   Right now, I'm being dragged into a debate about why copyright is a bad thing. As an author, I am deeply offended by people who believe I shouldn't have the right to control distribution and use of my own intellectual property.

   It looks like my only option is to block each person who continues the conversation so they can't refer to me on a go-forward basis. Is that by design?
