I kinda wanna see what they would do if it passes. Not saying i want it to be implemented but i think if it did pass they would quickly realize its unenforceable and wed get some cool tshirts out of it like we did when they classified the stuff as "Munitions" in the 90s (anyone else get suspended from school for implying you had brougbt muntians to school when no one got the joke?).

I say let em learn again, and each time this hapens, as it will happen every decade probably, we make it even more impossible for laws to dictate over software development. Code is speech.

Its good people are taking this as a serious threat, but i am not one of those people, i aim to misbehave.

Did some cleanup on matrix last night, pretty much wiped out ALL uploaded media which is fine because matrix is the one service I don’t have open to anyone else.

#Matrix certainly is not the easiest service to self host, especially how I have it setup with bridges to other things, but I’d argue its worth doing if you’re able. Continuwuity is pretty light on resources and since its my own server I don’t have to worry as much about 3rd parties getting or providing access i don’t want.

I probably wouldn’t use matrix as much if i had to trust other people to do the hosting, but having it all under my control I’m not worried about it

I sincerely believe this image should be in history books, if we make it out of here alive

The orphan-crushing machine is just a tool. You can also use it to mulch puppies and purée kittens.

Why are you angry? You can use it for harmless tasks like making mashed potatoes. You eat mashed potatoes don't you? Yes, admittedly it leaks machine oil into the potatoes, but they're working on that. It leaks so much less oil than it did when you tried it three months ago. In a year from now it's going to be a Michelin-starred chef.

Well, that’s typical, gatekeeping by telling people they should have to learn to cook. You don’t think people who can’t cook deserve good food?

So what if the machine is powered by slave labor? That's innovation. You're just scared you're going to be one of them. Besides, it's inevitable. Nobody is going to crush orphans by hand any more. You're going to get left behind.

Oh, well there you go with your ridiculous purity culture again.

Akkoma totally worth the upgrade because peertube video embeds are working now!

Oh boy! here we are on akkoma, no longer pleroma… eh so akughim? Nah i think we’ll just stick with plughim.

Lets go for akkoma!

Do "employers" like uber actually withhold taxes? I would think the most tax resistance would come from from gig workers these days. Its probably a big part of why they started forcing companies like cashapp and paypal to be reporting income above $600

@mttaggart

Have any of you moved a mastodon instance from one host to another? for obvious reasons, we are looking to move niagara.social to a Canadian hosting provider but, well, the database is 25GB and the media storage is 1.6TB, which is way too big, and also very difficult to move. We are considering just exporting the accounts, starting over, and importing them, but that is far from ideal. Any thoughts would be apreciated !

Or another way of putting it: they wanted to kill some journalists so they called them terrorists.

Kinda like how they will claim schools and hospitals are "harbouring terrorists " so they can bomb them.

Did you know that the company that wants to find your lost dog is owned by Jeff Bezos?

Ring, having acquired the company in 2018 for approximately $1 billion. So fuck Search Party, fuck Ring, and—most of all—fuck Amazon.

Spending some of the time we have left together watching cat tv with my buddy 😭😭😭

@YoungBlood The Billionaire class just wants to own whichever group is in power. The moment it was clear Trump would be the winner, every single one of them kissed the ring. If Epstein files have taught us anything it’s that the billionaire class has solidarity when it comes to protecting their own.

I realized this morning what local AI agents (OpenClaw, Cowork, etc.) remind me of

Just found out my buddy of the past 12 years has cancer.

Niri WM is pretty cool, I’m liking it better then hyprland.

This is thanks to https://danklinux.com/ which made deploying the setup super easy.

#Poll time again! This one is all about porn sharing!

Please select *all* the options that you believe apply to you.

Vocabulary:
- "nudes" includes images, videos, gifs, etc that are of a person, that you would consider to be overtly sexy, erotic, pornographic, or intended to be such.

- "privately" includes any distribution which is intended for a small, selective audience (a DM, Signal message, text, etc)

- "publicly" includes any distribution which is intended for general public or a larger group (such as on a Fedi timeline, Discord channel, Reddit, etc).

- "another's / others' nudes" are nudes that are of a third party, such as a friend's partner, a photo found online, etc.¹

- "your nudes" refers to nudes either of you, or which you produced with the subject's expressed consent (such as as a photographer).¹

¹ If the nudes contain, say you and a partner, then those would be your nudes *and* another's nudes.

- "femme/masc-presenting" refers to *presentation*, so femme-presenting would include the majority cis women, trans women, and some nonbinary folx. For example, I'm nonbinary, but I think most people would consider my nudes to be more femme than masc. If you don't prefer either label, then don't pick either (or pick both).

- "younger than me" if you have to ask how "much younger?", then the answer is probably yes.

Use your best judgment.
