Just realized that I missed my "cops stole my shit" anniversary, which is now over 10 years ago

meta and also politics, sort of directed at reader 

There are some very uncomfortable parallels between "citizens scapegoat other powerless citizens because the actual politicians in power refuse to address problems head-on", and "Mastodon users scapegoat other powerless Mastodon users because the actual developer in power refuses to address problems head-on"

I hope that you can fill in the gaps yourself on what this means for the social dynamics on fedi

my advice on coming out is simple: don't feel like you owe anyone anything at all

coming out is by definition a consequence of cisnormativity

do not give the fuckers an iota of your power

do whatever you want.

be happy.

open registration servers are a menace and should be limited. hope this helps #mastoadmin

There should be a way for instance admins to automatically limit other instances with open registrations. It would discourage instances from having open registrations for the sake of "reach"/"growth" imo

:PublicDomain: 🇨🇦 Canada politics; Yes I'm still on about this 

To sum up:

2023-2042, nothing enters the Public Domain in Canada

Thanks, The Liberal Party of Canada

who needs a polycule nextcloud when you can have a polycule syncthing

remember when the internet had a "pirate shanty" phase but it was actually just that one song?

I feel like we really missed the boat on the potential depth and breadth of the genre.

free software advocates when you ask them to take an intersectional view on the ethics of using certain software, going beyond the question of 'is this thing foss or not': ⁉️ 😕 😠 🤬

the USian assumption that every text is exclusively in one language versus de realiteit dat sommige gebruikers meerdere talen spreken

hey rich guys we have 1000 mozarts

just they shitpost on social media instead of write songs called 'leck mir den arsch fein recht schön sauber'

Market segmentation is just inconvenient progressive taxation with complicated extra steps

Another day, another homegrown classical inheritance implementation in a JS codebase I'm reading

dringend, bitte lesen und boosten, suizidgefährdung 

Moin, falls jemand hier sich mit Recht (speziell über Kinder/jugendlichenrechte) in Sachsen (oder falls es da genaue bundesweite richtlinien gibt, damit) auskennt, bitte mal mir eine DM schreiben. Ich hab eine Freundin die in einer WIRKLICH schlechten situation stuck ist, und will Wissen, was möglich ist.

Leider bin ich nur eine Schülerin in Schleswig-holstein.

Ich kann nicht glauben, dass das so in deutschland grade ihr passiert, und man da nichts machen kann. Also bitte, bitte, hilfe!

Before: How on earth could old people fall for scam emails? Ha-ha I'm the best at Internet

(Upon receiving an actual legit financial institution's email)

After: Holy shit this looks like it's a spam. If the dude from the bank weren't sitting across the table from me saying it's real I'd delete it, and even now it's setting off so many alarm bells I'm not sure

I'm not sure this is the best possible mapping, but this edit was inspired by some of the #Threads and #MastodonThreads apologism I've seen the last few days.
