CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@koantig ah so if a bad actor gets in you have to make a new group…certainly an impediment to permanence and more admin overhead

“Choose wisely”

@koantig any good groups? IRC is a snooze full of state sponsored trolls and bots farming intel. Would be cool to find real chats again. I’m curious how delta|arcane handle bot deterrence.

@Jgbird that tree looks brutal

@cmconseils that’s higher quality water than a AAA video game studio can make!

This is why you don’t use #reddit. Here you can plainly see “moderators” locking down discourse on an ongoing #cybersecurity incident involving #Intune #MDM #BYOD. This has real implications for American workers. IMO they’re power tripping while ass covering for companies & trying to be gatekeepers of IR protocol. Fuck off!

Screw Reddit and ”moderators.” For the love of all things, stop using that site to socialize!

I need to pin this for all lying magats who say their chief concern is protecting children from trans brainwashing and “mutilization” in schools. You know who you are.

Read this pure fact stream from Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) and shut your stupid mouth forever. And cut your fingers off.

You’re full of it & you’re lying when you say you don’t watch Fox News or take your positions from your Facebook feed. Whatever you DO read is propaganda.

@macacator @benroyce @BuckRogers1965 @davoyager you mean getting drowned by bot slop and not getting pissed at it? It’s certainly an ivory tower kinda vibe but @benroyce just seems passionate.

The only bot posts I want to see are constant calls to action, reminders about voting + registration deadlines & helpful links! Also cats.

Fortunately ActivityPub protocol makes it easy to opt out. Bots here have to pick their battles and manage post frequency carefully people will just block|defederate.

@benroyce @davoyager so many jobs. We millennials, especially, have been asleep at the wheel, or watching US politics like a spectator sport.

It’s not an accident that they keep screwing us - it reinforces that feeling of helplessness!

We need to email blast every dem and independent about every upcoming thing they need to do now until the general, and keep doing it.

Wakey wakey! Every election matters. EVERY ELECTION.

@benroyce @davoyager what’s really soul crushing is when you hear about a candidate running unopposed. How do we not have a database with good UI/UX that independents & newcomers seeking party support can find races where their only competition is some 1,000 year old okiedoke who hasn’t brought their best for decades?

@benroyce @davoyager I’m guilty of #moron. DNC’s favoritism towards neoliberal status quo meat shields who represent their donors erodes my confidence in grassroots success. Maybe this will finally be the time in my life when there’s such overwhelming support for real progressives that we see an end to capital deciding our fate? Or maybe they’ll wait until Super Tuesday and install the beleaguered skeletal husk of Joe Biden again, then replace him with Gavin Newsom backed by Palantir & Anduril.

@cmconseils I’ll take 100

@cmconseils gorgeous shot! Wow

@CiaraNi good job! PWA or desktop site!

No one should have ever gotten comfortable with “app stores,” not that we were given much choice. I remember jailbreaking iPhone 3GS. That gave me more features and control of the device than any we have today. The API restrictions of vanilla iOS and Android allow such insane abuse of the customer by the OEMs and telecom providers, locking you out of something you own.

(Looks like iPhone #jailbreak is still a thing but just barely….)

@Annacats beautiful shot! The lighting is excellent

@lowqualityfacts does that cat have a belly button? 🧐

@Lorraine look at its little feeeeet!

@Tutanota @mellifluousbox oh look it’s that head of marketing I saw on my LinkedIn feed yesterday! Good, now I don’t have to engage with Tuta on that site.

@B_Bird @alice ohhh yes I have seen those. Very common on Bluesky as well! Thank you both

@alice what’s a mutual aid scam? I think I saw one but not sure
