Why do some people have such ridiculous takes on things? Billionaires are arseholes. Why? Could it be, I don’t know, capitalism? Money? Greed? No, it must be technology that brings out “the very, very worst in humans”. I mean, everybody knows that Dennis Ritchie, Don Knuth, Alan McKay, Don Woods or Whitfield Diffie (look them up) are LITERALLY HITLER.

Seeing emacs.ch disappear will be a huge blow to the Fediverse. It was a wonderful community full of awesome people. I feel especially sad for Louis, who is a great admin and human being.

Guy Debord: "The first stage of the economy's domination of social life brought about an evident degradation of being into having––human fulfillment was no longer equated with what one was, but what one possessed.

The reigning economic system is a vicious circle of isolation. Its technologies are based on isolation, and they contribute to that same isolation. From automobiles to television, the goods that the spectacular system chooses to produce also serve it as weapons for constantly reinforcing the conditions that engender "lonely crowds."

The spectacle was born from the world's loss of unity, and the immense expansion of the modern spectacle reveals the enormity of this loss."

is there a self-hosted movie watchlist?

Would you get into self-hosting if I managed your server for you?

I am willing to offer fully managed FreedomBox servers if there is enough interest. I want commitment from at least 10 people to kick-start the service.

Here is my pitch:
njoseph.me/managed-freedombox.

If you are interested in this, please DM me your email address. I will send an update once I am ready.

Please note that this service is an idea right now. I can set it up in a few days.

Please boost!
