imagine single-handedly making EVs popular and cool, bringing internet access to every corner of the inhabited globe, trying to fix LA traffic, and trying to keep the only non-shitty social media site alive and nonbankrupt... and everyone hating you anyway

apparently the iphone 14 pro has startup and shutdown chimes now if your silent switch is not enabled? wow.

there is software that my tax dollars have paid to produce that is not free to me to download and is not released under open source licenses.

i think elon musk is generally doing a good job of running the companies he runs, and i think he will do a good job with twitter, as well. it's clear twitter was massively mismanaged and was slowly evaporating as a business due to sustained and terminal unprofitability.

it really bothers me a lot that remote blocks cause my own local mastodon to hide content that i have in my own local db (and perhaps delete it from my db?).

this would be like your email client honoring remote deletes. it's gaslighting!

really looking forward to tor hidden service AP instances (and support in mastodon/etc to work with them).

i'm rate limited on my own mastodon server with no way to turn it off (TRUSTED_PROXY_IP) until i upgrade masto (which i can't do until my 400GB s3 media migration is done)

no seriously though please toot at me and mention your favorite accounts

wow @cadey you seem like the very last person i would have guessed is a "please disable your adblocker" type.
