We are attached to the Internet as a result of being disconnected elsewhere.

Disconnected from the mentality of parents, work colleagues, and most of society, we seek refuge... from domination.

They leave us little choice and don't care.

@freeschool I grew up with FL Studio starting on windows xp. Acid DJ before that, and whatever weird software I could find back then for windows 98 to make loops. I mostly use the mobile version of FL Studio on Android now. Maybe I'll try SunVox again, but I didn't really dig that when I tried it the first time. I just jam out. It's a mediating thing. 🕉️ 😜 Nothing serious. It's just for me. Sometimes LSDJ for Gameboy. I want to get LGPT working on my GPi Case. LSDJ, but samples!

How to move view my posts offline elsewhere in standalone browser?

You can EXPORT / a backup (you get 1 big outbox.json) but there is no importing to any Mastodon and you get just separate directory of images but not posts together with text as I see now!)

So how to get my data out of this instance and on a standalone browser-based feed with the same layout and images without being logged in anywhere?

I want to quit my instance and I'm ⛓️ DATA-chained⛓️ .. HELP !

@weirdwriter @ljwrites if you don't mind paying, posteo.de or mailbox.org aree good options.

@weirdwriter @ljwrites
I recently got an email account with posteo.de based in Germany, that I'm liking so far. posteo.de/en

They don't require a phone number or any personal information to get an account. It's 1€ per month and they don't store your payment info beyond the time to process the payment.

It works with third party clients. You can have aliases. The domain for US users can be posteo.net, .com, or .us.

@weirdwriter Holy shit, that reminds me I should be getting off Gmail, too. I swear by Fastmail and as a subscription-based service I'm hoping it won't enshittify like that, but there are similar services that let you manage custom domain emails and stuff.

@sabik @weirdwriter It's so easy managing multiple domain emails with Fastmail, and I just needed to add a few boilerplate lines to my mail client's configuration to send from custom emails. Total respect for self-hosting, though, I've heard of so many people giving it up because the big email providers make it impossible.

"The grift-hopping is what gets me."

"Hardly anyone notices these quantum blockchain AI grifts collapse, because the new grift is already there to distract people.

It's a bit like a virus that mutates, and occasionally it mutates to something that grows big, sucks in billions and billions of investor money and just gives

it to somebody else without creating anything of worth.

What a weird system. Too bad the last two iterations are literally burning the planet in the process."

Great news everyone! I finally talk about AI hype. Someone finally mentioned LLMs one time too many, and the reckoning is upon us:

Change the people, they are first and last in the chain for any Technology.
