@evan Point taken. The question itself isn’t wild, but prioritizing it as the *one* you ask might be.

@evan It’s on the immigration test. Doesn’t strike me as wild to ask potential presidents the same questions as potential citizens to gauge their competence.

@freemo Sorry if I’m being blind, where are these instructions accessible?

@evan More small, importantly not more by instance count, but more by a higher proportion of people use small fedi.

IMO that’s the way to ensure the balance of power doesn’t tip in favor of large actors.

@thomasfuchs FWIW when I was at Google, Apple Event day was watched in the office as well.

Everything is a remix, everyone in tech is watching what everyone else is doing.

It’s only the fanboys that seem to believe that tech employees are mortal enemies.

@thomasfuchs It might be worth spelling out: I’m leaving you this comment because “Googler” to me means “person who works at Google”.

If you instead perhaps meant “Person who uses Google”, and therefore the comment is totally off-top from what you intended, I apologize.

@scribe @rysiek As always, there’s a relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2030/

@adhdmarie @kv @BlackAzizAnansi Asking out of genuine interest to understand here: What did those people do before the internet was easy?

There was a time before ~2010 where nobody had algorithmic timelines, where every service was “hard” to sign up for, and you had to care about which email provider you were going to use because they were not created equal.

From my perspective, it seemed like “non-technical” people coped just fine then. What changed?
