We've had "far right" regimes in #Europe before.

They were called Nazis.

There are over 20 million reasons to not allow that to happen again.

Define "a computer".

Define "an operating system".

What is that? A laptop? A phone? A watch? A pen?

A calculator?

A refreigerator? A car? A smart smeter? A washing machine?

A dildo?

Sam Altman said exactly this.

They have exfiltrated all human knowledge. They plan to rent it back to us.

This is actually the lineup at an indie rock festival in 1996.

I remember Nostrils of Colleagues and their Spouses were particularly good.

Reportedly Fingered were OK, but I left about halfway through Markwayne Mullin's set because of the spitting.

If anyone ever says to you "heat pumps don't work at low temperatures", ask them "What the fuck do you think is happening in your freezer?"

Use ghost.io

That's it. That's the toot.

Also, the most recent version (6.0) includes #ActivityPub by default, so it's instantly federated.

None of this should be a surprise to anyone in the USA.

It was all predicted a long tome ago, by Orwell, by Huxley, by The Dead Kennedys.

I just happen to like the DKs version best so here you go.

Wee surprise while out gardening earlier. Was clearing some weeds from our raised beds before planting, when I realised I had acquired a pedunculate oak seedling.

While it would be lovely to have an #oak in the garden, I really don't want a #tree that can grow to 40m tall with a 10m girth that close to my house. So I popped it in a little pot, for now.

Thinking I might pot it on for a few years then find a spot in some woodland up the river to plant it out when it's established.

It's pretty obvious they haven't thought anything through. Or even thought at all. Or are even capable of thought. Except in the most rudimentary Nazi shaped meaning.

Nazi Germany was at least competent.

Maybe they haven't thought this through.

Before the web (BTW) we had these things called "Books" which stored information in semi-permanent forms. Some of them lasted centuries.

We shared this information in buildings called "Libraries" which were places where, basically, anyone, could go find out about the books that might answer their questions.

For context, 14 tons is almost 3x the average CO2 emissions of the average EU citizen.
