@aral and growing bored with building autonomous killing machines, now waxing nostalgic with retro gaming.

@steter then there's the extreme overachievers, a post from LinkedIn.

Great democratizer my butt.

@RealJournalism I can only imagine the amount of Bible stories that will be turned into a dirt pile. The "Board of Peace" unveiled its plan to bulldoze Gaza and dig up the Holy Land.

@steter They have a mandate to do whatever the fuck they want. Which means the next 15 years are totally fucked.

'Merica!

@steter and made sure to insert himself into popular culture so he'd have nostalgia on his side like Reagan.

@xankarn that's not collapse, yet, that's s taking care of each other. When collapse does happen, rural communities will fare far better than metro areas. Stay off the sidewalks for falling success.

@FluentInFinance they made off with the DB of US citizenship.

Sounds like an advert for Authoritarianism. Democracies move too darn slow!

@pgreer @thomasfuchs and slowly eats away at their slim budget as more people use it instead of visiting the actual library. The cost continues to go up. Until, you guessed it, no more budget to archive a physical collection for the local community. Death by 1000 conveniences.

@steter it's the 🍊 inquisition

@Tharpa what is it with Republicans that they can't play fair? Always gotta cook the books.

@catsrule0000 Complete ignorance, make no mention of that land being sacred to those that have been marginalized since ships came to shore.

Alligator Alley, Big Cypress, It's beautiful.

Leave it alone or celebrate it.

@cwebber sounds like every post on LinkedIn, hop on the train. AI can do it all. "I'm 10x more productive than I ever was." You getting paid 10x more?

@br00t4c “He’s not like a regular Democrat,” says one young supporter. You don't say.

@steter so were self driving cars according to my parents, laser technology has already reached beyond what I thought I'd live to see

@steter just wait until the satellites start shooting at each other

@jwildeboer I'm sure the number of those grow with every boost!

@gimulnautti @crazyeddie @zleap @davetroy this stuff is all getting too crazy and a good place to insert a recommendation for this book read

It's all coming down to the build out of "smart" cities. Look into the players building Brazil's. Them choosing not to allow Xsquawk in their country won't mean they won't allow home grown TruthBrazil (made it up) to prosper without major competition.

Now that the price for compute has come down drastically as well as solar for power, the only thing people can do to battle the machines (blocs) controlling the machines, is if everyone turns off all their networked crap as a "whole," as if that would ever happen voluntarily, or the device that would give them simple transmit/receive be manufactured at hyperscale so anyone wanting to connect to the public at large can do so without a fascist filter. It can be built. Plenty on this planet live that way already. It's a matter of getting that ability into the hands of everyone, and fast. This is strictly for bouncing around in ActivityPub land, mind you, not everywhere in the digiverse! We still need to leave that playground for the hackers. #gibberish but not really.

@crazyeddie @gimulnautti @zleap @davetroy not confident ActivityPub is the magic bullet either, but with 4 days to launch, that seems to be the only one loaded in the chamber with people already interested and on the move.
