@deathkitten @shauna Ran into this as an issue last night, and was genuinely surprised to learn I didn't buy anything at REI last year.

Ad Nauseam (https://adnauseam.io/) is a great tool and keeps the web _usable_ for me.

I especially like that it saves the ads I'm being delivered (and not seeing) so I can see what picture ad firms of me. A great insight into privacy tools and practices working.

Found a @RadicalGraffiti on the way into work this morning.

Listening to the Tech Won't Save us episode about the problems about nuclear power and how it can not and will not save us from our energy problems. https://techwontsave.us/

A great episode with fantastic critical commentary but i was most surprised to learn @parismarx is a "nukular" pronouncer.

Does anyone know a slow fashion specific #fediverse server? My spouse is looking to join.

I tried looking at fedi.garden and didn't find anything.

Maybe it's been a bad idea to let enormous, regionally-monopolized, for-profit corporations control our medical treatments?

Less specifically: Fuck the Supreme Court for consistently ruling against the people.

More specifically: It is vital to our survival to connect with our neighbors and build local support networks. Give to your local community fridge. Share tools.

Every once in a while I disable my adblocker to see what the difference would be on a particular site, and Y'ALL: The web is genuinely so much better with an adblocker.

Please do yourselves a favor and add one. It is as easy as adding a browser extension! I use https://adnauseam.io/ which works so well!

"If we’re going to have a meaningful debate about AI that results in good policy and good products... I think it’s time to fight sci-fi fire with sci-fi fire. I think we need the Butlerian Jihad... In the deep lore behind the Dune universe, humans collectively decided to abandon and prohibit AI and even computation more broadly... In a way, this is another vision of 'AI from the movies'"
