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

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

@way My roommate is a local journalist and explained it to me this way. A journalist's ability to pay for their minimum survival without changing careers into something else, is tied up in online advertising or other monetization.
Our ability to know what is happening in the world is now dependent on corporate control to fund journalists not dying of pneumo in a cardboard box under a bridge.
The Fediverse can't do that, and they see that as the death of what little is left of their profession.
Way"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.
josefnot 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)
