@farrisswisher I used to be 2nd in charge of LiveJournal.com in its early years, when it was open source and volunteer run.

The owner/creator unfortunately sold it to SixApart, a blogging co, who sold it to a Russian co. linked to a Putin oligarch.

After the sale, it started getting manipulated by the state, in somewhat autocratic ways... Lots of Russian users left, rather than have their content hosted in country. What Elon is doing is actually more extreme and more concerning in key ways.

need the advanced web interface to allow me to pin the #explore tab like I can the local and federated timelines

📣 PLZ READ AND BOOST!

I've been working on #digitalrights and #techpolicy issues since right after the #SOPA blackout.

We spend most of our time trying to STOP bad legislation (think: #EarnItAct, #SESTA FOSTA, #KOSA etc)

It's *so rare* we get a chance to pass ACTUALLY GOOD legislation.

We have one of those once in a lifetime chances right now: the #BigTech #antitrust bills #AICOA and #OAMA

There is a real chance these bills make it into the #omnibus. Do the thing https://www.AntitrustVoteNow.com

URGENT: Time is running out for Senator Schumer to schedule a vote on S. 2992 and S. 2710, antitrust bills to rein in tech monopoly abuses.

Congress is considering strong antitrust bills that will give internet users more power and choice, and stop dominant tech companies from abusing their gatekeeper status. Join us in helping pass these bills.

Antitrust Vote Now!
This holiday season, take a moment to hold this timeless message close to your heart
I see folks saying that they hope to engage more here than they did on the bird site and not “just boost and favorite.” Remember, boosting here IS engaging. There is no algorithm pushing content into people’s timelines. Instead, we together are creating the flow of posts across and around instances.

**edit December 9 2023: I absolutely appreciate the shares on this. It’s an old situation (though still bitter honestly), but I am still looking for stable work.

I have started offering to subtitle and caption video content and will be adding audio editing (EQ, levels, noise reduction, etc), alt text for media, and transcription of both audio and video.

Accessibility is huge to me. I have to utilize specific tools to enjoy media, and need more people to use then when possible.

Boss just fired me. In front of a coworker. Couldn’t even give me a reason. In an at-will, though it was likely retaliation and discrimination, the energy to fight him is low due to chronic illness.

Any looking for a tech person? General know-how/consulting, Shopify/eBay, hardware, and general management of inventory/data/systems.

Boosts are appreciated.

I’ve recently released gpu-io – a #webgl computing library for real-time physics simulations, particle/agent-based systems, cellular automata, image processing, and general purpose GPU computations.

Examples: https://apps.amandaghassaei.com/gpu-io/examples/
GitHub: https://github.com/amandaghassaei/gpu-io

gpu-io makes it easy to build GPU-accelerated apps without worrying about low-level WebGL details and browser inconsistencies. Designed for WebGL2 with fallbacks for WebGL1. WebGPU support is planned! More in thread 🧵...
