I’m seeing bits and pieces of rants by various server admins in the Fediverse that are upset at the idea of big companies building ActivityPub compatible services.

This is really weird to me given many of us have been advocating for social network interop from the OpenSocial days but that got distracted by widgets/gadgets.

This comes across more like gate keeping in the same way nerds don’t want their favorite bands or hobbies to go mainstream.

It's all a Fanta Sea.

The ultimate truth. #caturday #cats #catsofmastodon

I want to expand more on the comedy of errors that led to the eviction of Twitter from their Boulder office.

The story that leads up to this building even existing is hilarious, so here goes...

I calling it: we're in a geek renaissance period with all these web protocols and decentralized services revolutionizing out of the corporate dark age of centralized services

This meme is a reminder that the internet is a complex network, and packets can take many different paths to reach their destination. 😂

I can't even wrap my head around this. Days ago the discussion on /r/piracy was about if it was worth continuing to protest, knowing that reddit likely hated the community and would actually prefer if a piracy-focused community left.

And now they are forcing other mods into control to force it back open.

A piracy subreddit. Devoted entirely to discussing illegal activity. Forced by the company to stay open, because they are that desperate for the traffic.

I think I will change my title from "Linux sysadmin" to "Prompt engineering". My prompts are simple tho:
```bash

man -k word
man {command}
info {command}

```

Please don't tell anyone about my secrets. 🤣

You ready, Matrix?

Twitter is falling apart. Reddit is falling apart. Facebook fell apart ages ago. Meta is a trashfire. Instagram is baloney. Google can't even search for anything you want anymore.

You know what website still miraculously works?

Wikipedia.

You should donate to keep it that way.
