"In September 2022, we blocked access to Kiwi Farms content through our infrastructure. We received significant adverse feedback for these decisions from those concerned about our ability to pass judgment on our customers and the users of our network and products, or to censor them by limiting their access to our products, and we are aware of potential customers who decided not to subscribe to our products because of this."

wauuugggh oh nooo all of my revolutionary energies have been encapsulated and diffused by bourgeoisie electoralism and i am no longer capable of engaging in direct action....... i knew i shouldn't have voted......

I go to the movie theater web site to check what movies are currently playing and when.

A big banner ad for a movie that _isn't even running yet_ makes no sense to me.

It's surprising that soviet style centrally planned economy took more than *70 years* to collapse. I think most libertarians would have predicted it to collapse way earlier.

I do wish the Masto UX had a way to search your own toots. I downloaded an export and just loaded the "outbox.json" into node to search it, something that's deeply deeply inaccessible to most users.

I see a lot of people talking about how Mastodon "Feels like the Internet I remember from 20 years ago."

That's no accident. That's Federation. That's UseNet, IRC, Email, Message Boards, etc. What do they all have in common?

Federation: Users congregating around watering holes of common interest, but still being a part of a larger whole.

THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WAS DESIGNED TO BE. And I am HERE for it.

Lucy wants to move to the moon. She even shows him her lunar VR program.

While they're cavorting in VR, she sells him out. He gets jerked into the real world by an attack from the owner of the Sandevistan.

Doc sells him the drugs he needs, but they're not cheap. Also, he's used the Sandevistan like 8 times? Too much. Keep it to twice a day or it will fry your brain.

Lucy takes him home. They discuss their dreams and where they want to go.

Show thread

Lucy says she only steals from corpos, and invites David to join her. They make quick work of the car.
