@prettygood Thanks, I feel a little dirty just understanding this.

@Em0nM4stodon I honestly don't see why we can't have a separate internet.

Internet is just networks of networks.

People fall into the trap of thinking there's only 1 internet. Fedi is filled with people smarter than that.

Stop routing to bad networks.

Balkanize.

Set up new Cert Authority with your buddies and pals, provision some new DNS root servers.

Let's just abandon these ridiculous companies who think they run everything and everyone!

The protocols are architected for it.
Let's go!

@dansup Can I follow loops accounts from Mastodon?

More #CivilWar by #domesticterrorists in the American streets of #Minneapolis today.

"#ICE does not move like the gestapo, they move like slave patrols."

This is home grown terrorism..

I can't unsee this now. I can't unsee slaver behavior in #ICE tactics. It makes way more sense, the Gestapo were copying *them*.

#Unpopularopinion: I've been know to say, the only way we will really get traction is if there's a #generalstrike, and I guess the #Republicans just set us up for one. Thanks? 🤔

@tk True, and for such, I highly recommend https://internet-in-a-box.org . Ive built a few of these myself. All of Wikipedia (en) is only 102GB, and you can locally host (and brodcast) tons and tons of other archived content, including the internet archive itself!

Meahwhile, make search not suck again by embraching (things like) #searcxng , Try random one
https://searx.bndkt.io/

or find a different public one, https://searx.space/

or self-host!

Search isn't dead, just poorly democratized.

@feld sure it is.. your pattern didn't match the mean, so the pachinko ball went a direction you couldn't expect, given your information. When the mean was illustrated, you could see the balls path through the tok^H^H^Hpins and realized new information.. It's still a pachinko machine.

@JessTheUnstill @oldladyplays /me sighs and puts all his KDE, GNOME, XFCE, Cinnamon, Cosmic, MATE, LXDE, awesome, and ratpoison signs down, and goes off to yell at Wayland fanatics (who think window-shading and display forwarding aren't used by anyone, and won't be missed) that they're ruining it for everyone, and making MS and Apple seem like "good desktops".

..stomps off sad and defeated by capitalist market-capture.

Sorry Jess, I don't mean to be the Linux reply guy in your thread. I'll go

Learned a new acronym today,

#DARVO

Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender.

Holy crap, I've been trying to put into words what I've been seeing happen when people start their whataboutism and they're clearly punching down..

Punching up/down was already a great addition to my vocabulary for processing all the crazy crap happening in my country. #DARVO is such a great what's-actually-happening breakdown of words I've only been to label "nazi tactics" beforehand.

Keeping the tradition alive...

@feld untrue! first of all, it's not a religious argument if I can *prove* there is an Internet.

Second, and more importantly, if it really *were* like religious arguments, there'd be way more dead people!

@RickiTarr Genghis Khan, Tik Tok...

@SlicerDicer @feld @sun lol, if people smoked as much cannabis as they smoked tobacco, we'd have a totally different set of problems.. ^_^

@jeffowski bruh, I'm not arguing that.

what I'm arguing is.. the cannabis *community* only focuses on the getting high part. every HempFest I've ever been to has been about getting high, and related paraphenalia.

I am YET to go to ANY cannabis conference that is about:
- industrial or consumer textiles
- fuels
- feed
- oils
- paper products
- cardboard products
- medicines (other than CBD)
- soaps, lotions, makeup
- building/construction materials
- paints or inks
- coatings

and so on.

@jeffowski I'm pissed the "cannabis" community is stuck in the "get high" category, when HEMP is fucking so superfuckinguseful. it's criminal that we don't industrialize hemp.

On a scale of very, to firing squad, how illegal is vote buying anyway? And where are cops?
