I am confused by people posting openly on the Web and thinking they are not performing an act in public.

Search is useful and necessary. Hashtags are not enough.

Each post on Mastodon is a mini blog post on the Web that should be indexed using the same rules and tools as everything else on the Web.

Mutuals-only would be a useful feature to add, private accounts already exist, and noindex meta data already exists to ask search engines to exclude you.

I just froze my credit report on all 3 US credit reporting agencies and—dear gourds—that was a difficult 2 hours of my life as a US American-Swede living abroad.

They do not like access from outside the US and they also do not like VPNs. It is a continuation of the US policy that the only Americans who want to live abroad are terrorists or tax evaders.

An estimated 10 million US Americans live abroad. That is more than the population of 40 US states.

Copyright is cultural crime.

De La Soul’s music is only now coming to streaming services in March 2023 because of sample clearance issues and label disputes that had reduced the artists’ royalties to 10%.

I have been watching the Interledger Summit 2022 session recordings incrementally over the last few weeks.

Unexpected delightful surprise was @todd presenting how @purism (the privacy-centric open source laptop and smart phone) stubbed out an entire two-sided app store marketplace based on Interledger and its related in-progress projects.

2023 is going to be breakout year for open payments.

@lachezar As a former Fitbit employee who later moved to Stockholm, I was amused SEB supported Fitbit Pay 4 years before it supported Apple Pay.

Oh no. My bank is “on the hunt for a COBOL developer”.

In 2020, I read “The Daily Stoic” by Ryan Holiday. I started and ended each day with a stoic meditation. I found it helpful. I’ve decided to reread it in 2023.

@okpierre Blame Mastodon not supporting quote tweets. 🤷‍♂️

If a website owner has no presence in the US, does someone from Louisiana have the ability to sue a company for not complying with its ridiculous law?

@kkomaitis With any other Supreme Court in the last 30 years, I would look forward to this being aggressively overturned as a violation of the First Amendment. But Trump's court is only selectively originalist.

If Meta allows Trump back on its platform, it will be time to do to Instagram what we did to Twitter: move it to the fediverse. ✊
