I finally embraced radical honesty

@jwz @Muddobbers @dangillmor centralization is simpler: easy to understand, easy to measure, easy to "monetize", also easy to write about. Decentralization is a far more complicated and messy process, but can also survive long beyond "turns out, our dictator needed some therapy" .. and evolve into something greater over time.

"P.S. Simply reply if you don't wish to hear from me again." is an odd thing to have as your email footer

Why have I never heard of Distributism before today? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributism

I like how "remastered in HD" now means "bicubic upscaling with a sharpening filter plus some hallucinated 'AI' nonsense we've added because reasons"

@Gargron web browser or death, my friend. Apps are a dead end.

Hendrix reinterpreted the anthem for us. It is the land of the free and the home of the brave -- but the real act of bravery is showing love to others https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjzZh6-h9fM

What song is the exact opposite of Radiohead's "Creep"? 🤔

This is absolutely wild. I loved the Mille Bornes card game as a kid, was obsessed with it, and now.. it has become this 🤯 https://www.techdirt.com/2024/11/26/if-you-like-mille-bornes-youll-love-one-billion-users/

@jwz @SonnyBonds I concede

@jwz @SonnyBonds wow I love Madonna but you basically just said to me Batdance is Prince's best song... I mean.... I'm just sayin'

@SonnyBonds @jwz their cover is amazing but I feel hair metal rock is just not a good fit to the poem and sentiment here, no matter how good the hair rock metal may be.

@SonnyBonds @jwz @SonnyBonds@mastodon.gamedev.plan and Die Another Day I don't get at all. It's super tryhard Madonna overproduced autotune synth dance mode and .. bleh. I like the Garbage one though!
