Simple. Web companies don't exist to give you content; they exist to send you ads. Any other idea is merely a delusion.
Sometime we were fooled with the idea of FREE CONTENT, and flew to it like flies to honey. Instead, they caught us in a trap of adverts and cookies and trackers. Before we knew it, power shifted from service providers to advertisers.
WE put them in power. WE sold our souls to them, WE clicked on "agree". It was us who ruined the web.
@wtwagg Thanks. I am liking it so far. I also might make my own instance eventually.
@ElfLord I would! If I was a publisher...
@lupine AGPL protects freedom online. No one can make a fork and not distribute the source code.
@Missingno Sounds great! It would have been even better if religion never existed in the first place.
@RAPIDPUNCHES I messed around with text editors and such. I use Atom with a word counter extension. It works well.
@freemo Where do you keep the code for Qoto? All the source code links go to toosuite/mastodon, but you modified the code for here so...
@innovation Paying for privacy. Yeah right.
@innovation VPN over X11? What on earth??
@Are0h Oh wow. LOL. That does throw it out the window. That does not get it off to a good start.
@Are0h Why? What is wrong with it?
@jessmahler Here is my synopsis:
An abandoned AI program for the government becomes self aware and begins to mess with the computer. It proceeds to find a program that has the potential to infect and disable all computerized devices in existence. It has no immediate effect on computers, but the result of the AI stumbling across the wrong settings would be devastating, since most of our world today is run by computers. Humanity must come up with a program to stop the AI, before it is too late, and since they are trying to keep the whole problem under wraps, the modern world's fate is in the hands of two people. They must come up with a solution before the AI presses the wrong button, then it will be too late...
I am a follower of #Jesus #Christ.
Get out of here racists, white supremacists, and every other advocate of evil. Jesus taught us to love one another, not wish them dead!
I accept most followers, so don't be afraid to request to follow. :-)
