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.

I can't get over how fractally bad a take this is. Like, aside from the obvious.

"Most fun product of the year" - it's a Twitter clone. That launched yesterday.

"Because their own elected officials…" - so basically if we accept the premise that this law is bad, it's cool to collectively blame all EU citizens for laws their leaders pass and mock them for any harm it causes them? This is coming from a *fucking American*?!

"Have fun in the library" - WHO DOESN'T WANT TO HANG OUT IN A LIBRARY?

"Their immense talent will no doubt be of great use elsewhere."

Yep.

A very helpful update from Twitter.

The Reddit AMA as we know it is dead. "The decade-old team of moderators running Reddit AMAs (short for “Ask Me Anything”) are hanging up their boots and will no longer organize the popular Q&As. [They] think Reddit’s poor site management is beyond repair." https://qz.com/reddit-amas-r-iama-protest-api-changes-steve-huffman-1850600843

Me: Mastodon is the best. People are friendly, there's no manipulative algorithm, and it's full of interesting content.

Journalist: Amazing, the headline of my article will be "Mastodon is social media's new hope".

Me: Also, there are no ads.

Journalist: Interesting. Let's change that headline to "Mastodon is a toxic cesspool that is already dead".

Es cierto que, para aquellas personas que dependen de tuiter para su trabajo, mastodon no es, en absoluto, un sustituto.

Pero la lección aquí creo que no debe ser que mastodon deba parecerse más a tuiter, sino que hay que replantearse el hecho de que tu modus vivendi dependa de una sola plataforma*

Esto es aplicable a todas las plataformas que dan trabajo a la gente.

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of Mastodons

Twitter You can limit me to showing and seeing ONE tweet a day- I still won’t pay - I can get my transphobic, homophobia, death threats, far right baloney and unionists hate speech elsewhere

Today
* Reddit ends free API access.
* Twitter turns off anonymous reading.
* Youtube is talking about banning ad-blocking users.

The tech industry was living on cheep money and low interest rates, and now they're all afraid to let their precious content get used for AI training.

The walls are going up, the lawful corporate web is collapsing in on itself.
