I‘m looking for early examples of public broadcasters (NPR, KQED, BBC, CBC, ARD, tagesschau, abcnews AU, francetele, NRK etc.) setting up their own Mastodon servers for their editorial brands. Because they should.
What to expect from this account
I have this account to bitch about things I hate, gush about things I love, and snark about things I think are stupid.
Also, I boost things I think are insightful, outrageous, or funny.
Good luck guessing which is which.
I cross post my own posts and threads from Twitter, but not RTs, QTs, or replies to other people.
I tend to livetoot(?) my viewing of anime.

Did anyone write a Cyberpunk story where the caper lines up with the shit that's going on with FTX?
It sounds both in-genre and unwritable.

a large Java conf, 1998
Rich Hickey is onstage demoing a lisp dev setup
his hacking gets more and more intense. he's jacked into a production server; he starts redefining functions on the fly, inspecting data as it flows thru functions
the audience is shocked and horrified but he continues typing, oblivious. an error occurs and he recovers from it in the repl
finally he sees their stunned silence
"guess you aren't ready for that yet" he responds impishly
"but your kids are gonna love it"

A thing I’m loving is noticing the names of admins on Fedi instances.
Of course mastodon.art has its Curator.
And lingo.lol the linguistics instance’s leader is Headword.
And the personal account of the scholar.social admin is Research Fairy.
Love these kinds of inside jokes from other professions. I’m sure there’s more.
Faraday switches sides and starts working for Arasaka.
David reaches the edge of his ability to handle cyberware.
Lucy has been hunting down Arasaka's hackers. Faraday and Kiwi lay a trap and catch her.
Time jump.
David is running his own crew, with Kiwi, Falco, and Rebecca on board. David's got Maine's gun arm, and some other implants.
Lucy is retired. Or taking a long break anyway.
Faraday wants to hire the team.
Lucy tells David about her origin.
Everything goes wrong:
Lucy dives Tanaka, but the data she's looking for is not there.
Tanaka tries to subborn David. This is all part of a corporate proxy war.
Maine goes Psycho. He kills Dorio and injuries Kiwi. He's taken out by the cops.
David and Lucy escape.
The team try to grab him, but he retaliates and grabs David instead. David gets to test a custom VR of his own death.
Kurosaki tells David that he will go psycho eventually.
The team rescue him and force Kurosaki to help them trap Tanaka. Kurosaki dies in the crossfire.
The team's target from David's first job, Tanaka, is the school bully's father.
Tanaka has a fetish for snuff films. Jimmy Kurosaki is the king is snuff edits, and David happens to know he does custom work for big customers.
Could this be an in?

The "Core" in Intel Core processors is short for Korekuli, a djinn they've trapped inside a transistor.

twitter collapse, health care
so a twitter blue verified account tweeting about insulin becoming free actually crashes that companies stocks significantly, apparently even taking the other insulin manufacturers stocks down with them

:labrys-45-sickle: 
being labeled a "nazi instance" is truly some next level fediblock nonsense
Organically found a guy I know IRL on fedi.
Small world.

Happy Armistice Day. Peace is Possible, etc.
I've cleansed my Twitter timeline to have the minimum amount of brainworms on it. (Always bad right after the election though.)
My fedi timeline... has not been so carefully managed.
