@kevinriggle @futurebird @dahukanna @PavelASamsonov @knowuh wait you didn't link the book.
If you wanna chat about the one I recommended, after, I'm game. It's a lot to unpack.

Sorry for everyone it's hard to prune list when *everyone* is new.
Mastodon is weird.
@munin yup. Presenting systemic issues as individual ones is neoliberal mindset.
What we need is a mastodon instance syndicate
Because now we have a neoliberal board speaking on our behalf
We need to list our demands. And make the disagreement visible.
@fabio @greenWhale @SallyStrange @aud @aral @eatyourglory dude is advocating for the natural immunity of abuse.
protecting people from abuse make them weak and incapable of dealing with abuse.
subjecting them to abuse make them stronger, and he is the one to decide it for them.
it's social darwinism, all to enable a company notoriously for destroying all partners it touches. Not even Meta employees would defend it so intently.
@fabio @greenWhale @SallyStrange @aud @aral @eatyourglory "the whole humankind must have suddenly become dumb" vs "they disagree with my ideas", which one will occam's razor choose? Stay tuned!
@SallyStrange @fabio @greenWhale @aud @aral @eatyourglory some people truly believe that if you voclly disagree with them, it's because you isn't her then correctly.
Adds this with entitlement to a debate (it's right at the core of his natural immunity of ideas concept) and it's an issue.
with possible tiktok ban, I wish signal stories were less barebone.
**yes, **people use tiktok and instagram to bypass mainstream narratives
**but,** they only fall prey to an algorithmic control room, one owned by China (the reason for the ban) and the one owned by Mark Zuckerberg (an US ally)
signal stories are truly zero-knowledge (as in, there's not even a way to know who is sharing what), *just like our day-to-day conversations* before this panopticon hellscape we're in.
I decided to drop entire changelog.com community from my purview.
They're a-ok with having a Lockheed Martin engineer as regular to discuss... (drumbeats)
Ethical
AI.
I'm *shook*.
A group that doesn't mind the hypocrisy of it is a group not worthy of my attention.
How US government treats TikTok is how the rest of the world should treat Meta
They're panicking because they *know* what's being surveilled, and upset it's not they doing it

@inquiline @aral @SallyStrange To preserve myself, i ask them a yes/no question: "Is Israel an apartheid state?"
All words clearly well defined, no excuse to an open ended answer.
So far they try to argue without a clear answer. I then say "it's a yes-or-no answer".
I then disengage. Someone who complicates an apartheid is not someone I want around.
No one ever said "no", but if they do, my idea is to say "we can disagree on opinions but if we disagree on facts, no debate is ever possible".
@libremind Being a persona-non-grata by an Apartheid genocidal state is an *honor*
The *gall* of comitting genocide and demanding respect
@saraislet we should at least teach them to have paper trail for anything they're asked to do
And to distrust managers that try to bypass it
Most of us learn by trauma alone (of a manager throwing you under the bus for something they requested), but there are better ways
@blacklight I used to use dreamhost for both hosting and domain.
now i use gitlab pages for hosting (for flatblogs like jekyll or hugo, mostly) and keep using dreamhost for domains.
they don't try to upsell you shit. dunno DNS limits, but I don't think they have one.
problem is, certain TLD can only be found on godaddy, so I have an accout there too.
The NYPD Spent $150 Million to Catch Farebeaters Who Cost the MTA $104,000
NYPD is a public resource (we pay for it) and is used as security for private companies.
MTA is for-profit where it matters. Being "on the brink of disaster" is their business model.
We are financing our own oppression.

The key point: your reputation as a private site is what you allow. If you allow garbage, you’re a garbage site.
https://www.techdirt.com/2023/12/26/substack-turns-on-its-nazis-welcome-sign/
Substack is financing Nazi content and getting 10% of it.
Services hunt down sex worker content but let Nazi content thrive.
They do have the tools to moderate, and it really shows their priorities.
Wow. Adobe didn't buy Figma
Mostly because of EU pushback
As a result of the termination, Adobe will be required to pay a reverse termination fee of $1 billion in cash
To Figma
Wow!
Shame Shell.
Shame whoever interacts with them.
Make it socially costly.
