Corey Doctorow: "Mastodon is far from perfect. But I only have so many hours in the day, and only so many days left in my life. I would much rather spend those precious hours making a open service better than using a temporarily superior closed one. I have seen that movie. I know how it ends"

Uhhhh yeah sounds good

Happy people can't be monetized, this is why billionaires and tech companies need to keep you unhappy, angry, or scared. Resist. Be happy.

I miss written tutorials. I hate how every tutorial is a YouTube now. I don’t want to watch 15 minutes and forget to pay attention for the second that has the detail that I am missing or it just doesn’t show. Even short tutorials are 3 minutes when it could have been a ten second read. I want to skim a page and go directly to the point. Has writing really become that hard to do?

To understand Musk's renewed obsession with X and focus on financial services, you REALLY need to understand the X/Confinity merger that became PayPal.

Pay $84/year for a chance to win thousands of dollars. This business model sounds familiar but I can’t quite put my finger on it? 🤔

I'm assuming that 403 years ago this person died very unexpectedly.

A damaging #tornado has impacted densely populated portions of the #Milan metro, specifically Cernusco sul Naviglio, #Lombardy, NW Italy about 2 hours ago.

Stop blaming strikes for economic damage. Strikes are a logical response to overreach and greed from corporations and the wealthy. If there is resulting economic damage, look to those who drove the workers to strike in the first instance.

Buenos días. Os dejo por aquí el homenaje de Jan a Ibáñez.

the people who kept telling us that movie piracy is a serious crime don't actually seem all that interested in paying people for making movies.

YES. DO IT DO IT DO IIIIIIIIIIT! #sagaftrastrong #wgastrong #unionize #Solidarity #unionizemarvel #cgi

This is REALLY important.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Let that sink in. It costs less than accepting homelessness.
