"Part of what made the “old” Internet so good was the process of discovery. There were no streams or feeds. No “For You pages”. No “Discover” tab. When you found something good, it was usually after hours idly clicking between loosely connected websites. That’s what made every discovery feel so special. That’s why those first websites you went to are seared into your memory.

We used to surf the Web."

The Old Internet is Still Here

The “old” Internet isn’t gone, our expectations have changed.

The problem with Meta’s business model is that they’re beholden to shareholders, not their community. We are not publicly traded, we are publicly FUNDED.

Mastodon has no incentive to keep you addicted. Our incentive is to make you happy, and help you build friendships, because it’s the right thing to do for you, and it's the right thing to do for humanity.

I just lost my job so you know what that means: I'm available for work!

I'm primarily a web developer, HTML + CSS + TS is my bread and butter, but I have a good amount of experience with containers, Kubernetes, Nix, NixOS, etc. I'm the sort of person to write a compiler for fun. AND I'm looking to start somewhere ASAP!

Available for remote work, based in Southern California in the US.

everytime someone british mentions queueing for anything I am reminded of this picture of a fox queueing at an ATM ​
It’s also #TransDayOfVisibility today! It’s a good day to acknowledge that if you’re using desktop Linux, you’re almost certainly using something made at least in part by transgender people. And we must continue to work to dismantle systems of discrimination against the trans folks in our community 🏳️‍⚧️

Oopsie daisy!
"today, a #Claude Code release included some internal source code. No sensitive customer data or credentials were involved/exposed. This was a release packaging issue caused by human* error, not a #security breach. We’re rolling out measures to prevent this from happening again."

'...but bad actors looking for security vulnerabilities now have a map for bypassing the guardrails #Anthropic has put in place'

*If it WAS their #ai, would they have said so? 🤔😅

Not quite back online yet, but hello, and please accept an old bouncy post for this #TransDayOfVisiblity x

Trump withdrew the US from the Iran nuclear agreement. Then he started an illegal war to restore what was in it. Trump's illegal war closed the Strait of Hormuz. Now he wants to reopen it (or not) so that he can end his illegal war. Seeing a pattern...
