@Dayglochainsaw I have a server at my house, I pay about $150 a month for two more in FL, and I've not made a single penny on anything running up there. My main project with which I'm involved is all open source. Sure, we accept donations, but we don't require nor force them. We love doing what we do because we love doing it.

Imo, one of the most damning aspects of capitalism is that it encourages people to have consumptive hobbies over creative ones.

It actively seeks to bar people from doing things like cooking, or writing, or making pottery, or anything else of that nature. Activities in which you are making something

Things like that are made either too expensive (in terms of money, or time, or both) or framed as something not worth wasting time on, because you can't support yourself doing art/writing/etc

I can't bring myself to believe that artificial intelligence will bring an end to creative labor. you can't reduce creative labor to the artifacts it produces, and that the value of those artifacts doesn't inhere purely in their form. sure, I think a lot of the value in art comes from, like, visceral spectacle, but some amount also comes from being able to identify and appreciate the choices made in their production—and people are really good at identifying and distinguishing these choices

"NGOs like [ #cia connected] #HRW play an important role in framing the Western imperial agenda from a supposedly “independent” and “humanitarian” perspective, as dramatically illustrated after the death of Sen.

@lain Pleroma seems so much simpler to set up in so many ways. My alternate account is on Pleroma, actually.

Sorry about the lack of time frame; the environment's been rather amorphus lately.

I could then add it as a comment on the existing GitHub issues, or as a post within the Facebook Group. Whatever you guys would like.

Hopefully at least after the new year, I can't promise anything, but once I get my test environment up, I can do some screencasts documenting the accessibility issues. If that would help some. I hope it might.

seems that when compared to PHP, .NET seems to pale in the open source community. Not sure why. Why I can't wait to fully join the community as a tester.

dang. Thought of using Miniblog.core for my blog, but ... doesn't have enough features for my taste. I'd have to configure a ton of third-party services just to configure automatic social media posting. Think I'll use NAMI for the time being.

In North Korea, people don't celebrate birthdays on July 8 and December 17, since those are the dates that Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il died.

@luxotek That seems to be a thing these days. As much as I love tech, I think that it has its nasty points, too. Like that. People think they can have something mean to say and get away with it in light of the fact no one can see them, for the most part.

I'm trying to watch a YouTube stream here. C'mon Anariel, behave yourself and quit making the video buffer. You only have one active VPN tunnel right now.

@luxotek You seem to have no problem dealing with me. Then again, I'm going on 30. LOL Wish everyone were as easy going as me; I talk to anyone and everyone.
