The UK isn't a country; it's four raccoons in a trench coat. Only one of them is a brown bear that outweighs the rest by 9:1 and keeps dragging them places they don't want to go (like: out of Europe), and the fourth raccoon has dissociative identity disorder and is self-medicating with cocaine because it's Northern Ireland.

> Using an #IndieWeb approach i.e. #Selfhost, there's an intrinsic guarantee that a publisher has put at least some effort and resources to make their materials public.

> This ensures that the published materials have certain 🫶 #authenticity and inherent amount of 💎 #quality. Publishing them "the indie way" functions as a kind of proof of work: not a guarantee of #excellence but evidence that something 💗 #meaningful was at stake in producing and sharing it.

So let me get this straight... I'm somewhere that's not what I would call corporate social media. I'm seeing freaking dragons, and, oh yeah, I'm writing descriptive alt text!! Yeah, okay, that is something I do now! I post about my indiewebsite, I report jacked up spam accounts... I'll probably get 14 boosts on this post next.

Finally got back to posting on my blog. To explain why I haven't done so for a while.

It would be a real shame if this photo of President Barak Obama receiving the *actual* Nobel Peace Prize goes viral today for no apparent reason

"The cloud is down, all of it"
"But the AI that was supposed to keep it running ?"
"Had a debug log file that expanded to use all the storage and took the cloud down"
"Get the robots to reboot it ?"
"They are controlled from the cloud"
"and the access doors ?"
"Cloud"
"If the robots are down can we just force our way inside ?"
"No.. the automatic defence system runs on its own servers at your insistence so it's still working"

"If you're not on board with AI you're going to get left behind"

Boost if you'd like to be left behind and would consider paying extra for a life without this bullshit.

3k boost edit: everyone who said a variant of "why should I pay" is right, but the world is wrong.
