lerna oh look more javascript tooling that didn't exist before and i have to learn and understand and write more json for (which was never meant to be a configuration language and lacks comments and should never be used for this purpose in a new tool) and probably won't exist in its current form in 36 months
is it javascript that's terrible or javascript people that opt into these nightmares that are terrible?
The year is 2040.
You log into a cafe and your coffee-app automatically pops into the foreground till you order.
You select the UltraEthics choice which gives $0.50 to Starving Orphans Inc.
You read about the two political parties: Rich and More Rich, and wonder why nobody talks about anything else.
The coffee arrives, the cost automatically comes off your Musk-Coin, along with 2% PayPal fee.
Some idiot is trying to pay in cash. Unlike him you a pragmatist and just want to use what works.
DO NOT AUTOCLOSE YOUR BACKLOG
you're just cheating yourself out of the free QA your userbase has done for you.
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.

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.

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: https://twitter.com/n4of7/status/1517354288820932608
I have now identified Twitter as potentially harmful.
