I'm ready for that top 8 drama when Myspace federates 🍿

Anyway, on a more serious note, a lot of problems will be solved very easily if you immediately defederate from any/all activitypub servers ran by any sort of tech or social media company.
Easy-peasy, no worries, Bob's your uncle, a few clicks and it's done, just like that :spritz:
Their imperatives are not your imperatives, don't need them x

I'm on a boat

Quick foal break

Become ungoogleable

I think I've finished my Amiga 1200 repair/refurb/upgrade at last! Been working on this thing for years phew

@BigTittyBimbo @schratze Spaghetti jail isn't so bad, the bars are made of spaghetti. It's no big deal to break out you know

Texted my mate Willy Shakes that lives in the past, he texted back "Oi ya cunt stop calling me Willy Shakes and sending texts it costs me a fortune to text in the 1500s and I'm trying to write my fanfics". Rude.

This project is still a surveillance capitalist project, because that's all its developers know how to build, and the environment their careers were nurtured within. This will be revealed once it's grown "too big to fail", but realistically (hopefully, anyway), it's already dead in the water. What a hot mess

I'm going to put this here now so I can say "I told you so" later, but from seeing Bluesky's privacy policy stuff today it totes only exists as a freeze peach dataset to train AI and have the harvested data sold off to whoever wants it when it eventually tanks and the social media mask falls off of it. I think this also somewhat explains the completely bizarre labels feature so buyers can filter stuff out that's too hot for them easily. That's where they're planning on making their money.

@nileane This could probs be used as a tool for them to find each other easier too, to create a sort of shadow-network that's simultaneously blocked from everywhere else, but closely knit to each other

@Metamedia I'm using and abusing a Fairphone 3 since launch and it's still going. Writing this reply on it, even

I've got so many notes on people's profiles with "bit of a prick [link]" on them :oh_no:

Less capitalism, more catapultism

Repairing an Eee PC 904HD that's used as a soundboard for a carnival that needs to be done before their season starts in around a week... No pressure then

I came up with a concept album idea the other night down the pub and should have posted it really: There should be a concept album that's sequels to popular songs about unanswered questions or unresolved conflicts that wrap up their stories
