When it comes to content warnings, they're more of a liberation than a censorship. They allow you to say things into a crowd that would be difficult to say normally without a pre-warning

Mastodon gained 70,000 users after Musk’s Twitter takeover. I joined them https://beehaw.org/post/176792
@mike well said! It seems that these days things aren’t considered desirable or successful unless they become viral and balloon to an unmanageable size. That’s such a toxic attitude. #mastodon is beautiful as it is and a steady stream of interesting people will always beat a surge of idiots in my book.

@killyourfm and we appreciate the effort! #fediverse FTW!
I quite agree with you but there’s something you might be overlooking:
The features companies code in for their own purposes are often the basis used by other devs to build more user friendly stuff. Basically the companies pay to get a lot of the base level stuff done and then we can all build upon it.
That being said: I’m still in the fence about corporate involvement. It’s unavoidable but I wish we could mitigate it better than “mutually assured destruction”

A few viewers have expressed concerns about how much of #Linux is built and coded by big tech companies. Let's see how true this is, and of that's really an issue!

The #LinkedIn study is, without doubt, ethically inconsiderate. But we should still be concerned with its finding: within "people should use LinkedIn more" is the fact that #capitalism has reduced most #relations to "weak ties" of just faces & values (usefulness for jobhunting). How can we build a large, diverse (perspective-wise) #community, if all we have is just faces that we don't even try to understand? Because such a community isn't profitable for us?

@golemwire yeah it’s got lots of options to make it look like what you wish! I went for an XT/MS-DOS look, that’s what I cut my teeth on. github.com/Swordfish90/cool-re...
Those are great choices. I am particularly fond of Mastodon.
Start of my last week at this current posting and last week in the #canadianarctic
I am very excited but also a bit sad. New beginnings are beautiful but they mean the end of something else.
What a wild 12 years this has been.

I say a bad word
Using the Toot CLi client for Mastodon with cool-retro-term makes me feel all kinds of warm feelings.
