I just finished reading @[email protected]’s Walkaway.

Fucking A.

Because I have no stomach for distopias, and I want to feel hope again. Crawling from the wreckage.

"Will Mastodon make any money?" scream the journalists, who have forgotten the joy of building sandcastles on the beach

In the mastodon justice system, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important, groups: the police, who investigate memes; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the shitposters. These are their stories.
not joking here. serious post. if it becomes impossible to block ads at some point i'll just end up browsing the web like stallman does, furiously tapping the hook switch on a 1950s bell telephone to approximate V.32 9.6 kbps frequency/phase shift keying, with the telephone's audio output connected to one of those seismogram plotters. this will give me a paper copy that i can annotate & peruse at my leisure (ie write in the data in pencil, mark the start of packets with a highlighter)

Bookface is the equivalent of a social calendar secretary. That's the only functionality I need from it.

I need a service with which to invite those of you on my Mastodon network to a party or convention, and manage the RSVP list. And to coordinate when my collaborators will meet to work on our projects and organizations. It needs to combine the day/time voting of Whenisgood.com with Meetup.com

I thought perhaps upcoming.org would do it, but no.

So I'm going to make it. #projectdovetail

It's time to replace my car. The whole radiator is leaking and needs to be replaced, or I'll be filling the coolant every day. Anybody have a good lead on a Ford Focus, Honda Civic, or another car with a low total-cost-to-own? #xpost
Every time I read a thinkpiece on the culture wars, I notice that they all seem to include a few paragraphs about how nerds are at the epicenter. #xpost
