Watch these satellites get DESTROYED by an invader!

Three questions actually.

Can we use it for porn?

Zuck owns more than Facebook, too. ANY big social media platform is similarly toxic.

These people have co-opted our social discourse for evil causes. And they aren’t the only way to share work online.

Creative people do not have a right to my admiration if they provide fresh bait that the oligarchs use to degrade democracy and civil society

Nah, if you are feeding the Zuck, not my team. The principled creatives aren’t there.

It sucks to try to make a living as a creative. But giving your efforts to support social media platforms controlled by the worst people is inexcusable. Zuck literally and provably helped the fascists gain power.

The creatives I can respect create because they are compelled to. They work jobs and create when they can. They share their work on less shitty platforms and in actual real life.

I remember at my first job in high school in a store on Main Street. We had a sidewalk sale with other business owners.

My innocence was lost when my boss instructed me to place higher prices using our ordinary white stickers and then cover them with ‘discounted’ orange sales stickers at slightly higher prices than normal.

These dicks just do it at scale. Amazon is a tawdry crime organization. We all know it.

Boo hoo, losers. Your device has a power switch. Influencers have a warped and inflated sense of the value they create. They can stop at any time and use their skills in other ways.

Making good content is hard, but ‘good’ content doesn’t have an expiration date. Shallow brain-rot content does and that’s what the algorithms reward.

The entitlement that influencers have is nauseating. There are many creators out there laboring in near obscurity and producing useful content all the time for little or no compensation.

They are tools for Zuck and fools for propping his platforms up. It sounds like a hard slog, but they can stop any time.

Medical miracle AND a manmade horror beyond my comprehension.

It took the DOT over 20 years to migrate their port of entry truck tracking system from COBOL to Oracle (god help them). That system is much simpler than social security.

Did you read the article? This is a ground based system.

At least I have found something I have in common with AI search engines.

“I think that’s a good idea.”

“You do? Then we’ll make it work.”

Sick burn

Hard agree! I do think fediverse platforms are perfect for public entities to disseminate information.

I’m US based so my example is say a county. They already have the IT infrastructure and staff. Make an instance for the county and a community for each department.

The road department can post road closures and upcoming traffic diversions. The parks department can promote events, etc.

These type of instances can just disable comments. They are read-only so moderation is not needed.

It’s trivial from a resource perspective and even easier than updating a website.

Can’t speak to the effectiveness of the baldness cure, but the model in the stock photo has cured ED, I am sure.
