So: Twitter, am I surprised? No, not at all.

I'm actually glad they're ripping the mask off of the bias at Twitter, which - as a site with its role in social media - is a terrible thing.

And I'd far rather have a site that allows terrible things to be said than one that keeps me thinking the world is a kind, safe place for me and mine, when it's not.

Just as a reminder, here's a complete list of the authorities whose permission you need to go on strike:

Someone asked, "Who gets to decide what gets moderated on the Fediverse? And who decides what's seen or unseen?"

You do!

If you don't like someone, block them!

If you don't like an instance, block it!

If you don't like your instance, leave it!

If no instance is to your liking, start your own!

If you don't like other instances, de-federate them!

If you don't like federation itself, turn it off!

Ultimately, the Fediverse gives you the freedom of association—exercise it as you see fit.

The #NixOS experience is fucking up your dev VM on accident, reimaging it from scratch in 5 minutes and then being able to do productivity again in. Fucking hell I love this OS.

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

When you see the SSSS mark on your ticket, it means you've been randomly selected for an extra security check at the gate.

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.

@sneak I found this when looking for a way to do that: gist.github.com/hcmiya/e635b31

This sort of setup being well integrated and easy to switch on would be a great feature.

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.
