… And that’s why it riles me up to no end to see corporations like Mozilla Corporation that are not what they say they are getting away with blatantly lying to our faces while very successfully staving off effective regulation for Big Tech, sucking up funding, and acting as honeypots for devs who do really care only to neutralise them with projects they know will not actually threaten the Silicon Valley status quo.

(Also, I suck at stepping away from the keyboard apparently!) :)

And I get it. Everything’s so shit you WANT to believe there are folks out there doing what they say they do… that they’re on your side, fighting Big Tech, protecting your privacy… I get it because – fuck it – I want to believe that. And yes, there are folks like that too… and they’re usually struggling to get by and rarely get any funding or support from anyone…

i think we should start a totally innocent "guillotine sharpening day"

no displays of politics, just appreciators publicly celebrate guillotines and their maintenance together. nothing illegal just a joyous festival for all the family

but we will KNOW what it means. and all the big league execs looking out their office windows? they will KNOW who those glinting blades are for

I wish there was a tab on everyone's profile where you could review the interactions you had with that person.

(Boosts, likes and messages, in both directions.)

The CEO of the after school program I work at gets over $100,000 per month from the parents of the kids I watch and I get *checks notes* $1,300 of it...... I am going to start biting people

@evelyn
I think about this _a lot_.
We need to imagine a better future if we want to achieve it, and probably it is not much about technology, yet technology tends to be the first thought.

#OpenStreetMap has one tile rendering server for all of USA, and that server can no longer keep up with peak US traffic.

If you, or your company,are interested in hosting a rendering node in the US (or elsewhere), please contact us.

the entire concept of a credit score is one of the world's most fucked up and horrific things and the only reason it exists is because people wanted to implement a rigid caste system and this was just the easiest way

"The 1st of July a new squatting law will go into effect, making squatting harder and harder for those in need of housing or wanting to express their political opinion on housing.

The law will make it so squats can be evicted and possibly criminally prosecuted within 3 days. WE DO NOT ACCEPT THIS!

It is even against European Housing Law, and even the police have said this is not viable.

That's why we will be protesting against this law to stop it or make sure it wont be used. We hope to see you 17:00 on the 1st of July at the Malieveld, The Hague!"
