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.

@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.

religion, death 

@webmind@social.weho.st Remember the point of view. ;)

religion 

@webmind@social.weho.st I am curios what you are referring to. Song of Solomon is a love song between Solomon and the Shulamite.

Openbook is an interesting idea, but they do not see the value of decentralization I guess.

@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...

@aral My all-time favorites:

* Nobody cares about privacy
* Nobody will pay for privacy
* "I've got nothing to hide"
* Only criminals need encryption
* "There are checks and balances in place" (for privacy invading legislation)

I just set up account migration. Now my old account at mastodon.social redirects here!

@neugierdsnase@mastodon.social Okay sure. But where were you reading about caretaking for cattle?

@Are0h Oh wow. LOL. That does throw it out the window. That does not get it off to a good start.

@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...

You can see a demo of my minimal, brutalist no-JS Mastodon front-end running on my home server:

Or, if you fancy a bit more grunt, you can clone it and run it for your own instances :)
