why is adobe trying to peer pressure me into making my files available to the government without a warrant?

simply not using social media is not a solution to the current implementations of social media being bad. socializing on the internet with billions of people (i.e. not irc, not the fediverse, not matrix - the people using WA and IG and Twitter etc) is one of the best things to ever happen to humanity, and it sucks bad that it's been zucced by a greedy, totalitarian sociopath. if elon unfucks twitter it might be totally fucking amazing.

just when i thought i couldn't like elon more.

i might actually go back to twitter if he does e2e for DMs (which he said he wants to) and stops with the censorship. that would make twitter one of the best things ever on the internet.

there is just too much jank everywhere in graphene. camera app jank, vpn jank, keyboard jank, browser jank

i think i have to reluctantly switch back to an iphone

i should start a webpage cataloging the excuses i have heard for why people simply can't delete their FAANG/Twitter/Microsoft accounts.

This is worth sharing.

It's an animated GIF where every frame is a valid QR code that leads to the "Never Gonna Give You Up" rickroll.

That's kind of amazing.

I got asked about this by somebody from WIRED so I got some numbers together. I believe that Mastodon servers have gained around 49,000 new people since March. Our iOS app downloads rose by 109%. On mastodon.social, I am seeing a 71% increase in sign-ups and 36% increase in monthly active users as people are coming back to their old accounts.

Twitter is blocking me from posting a link to my mastodon. If I try to post the link, it says:

"We can't complete this request because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as potentially harmful"

*Censorship* is harmful. This is an attack on my free speech.

I originally posted this on twitter: twitter.com/n4of7/status/15173

I have now identified Twitter as potentially harmful.

have y'all considered solving the cyberwar problem by just turning off the computers? we could raise goats. goats are cool, and most importantly, can't run UEFI bootkits.

“Currently there might be a longer wait time than usual due to increased call volume. There are currently zero callers ahead of you.” 🤔

if I can just interject for a moment, what you're calling GNU+Linux is more correctly known as Chromium+systemd+GNU+Freedesktop+Linux, or as I've taken to calling it {incomprehensible screeching noise}

why does the creative cloud installer need root? these are fundamentally apps that read and manipulate and write local files, and sometimes talk to the network. nothing about that requires privileged access. apple should come down on this practice.
