We appreciate your boosts 🙏 It would be fun to go to our year-end meeting and say we have more followers in the #fediverse than we do on Instagram 😁

Happy #FlagDay y'all!

The more Desantis fans double down on defending the use of Deepfakes to smear a political opponent the more I will bring it up

We have talked about the danger of using AI in politics well before @rondesantis ran this ad and I'm not going to back down

There are two legitimate concerns about Signal: they use real phone numbers as identifiers, and you have to trust Signal as the server operator as they don't allow their client to be used with other servers. While the server software is also open source, you have to trust that they're running the same version in production.

Apparently Reddit has now banned a subreddit dedicated to the Fediverse Reddit-alternative Kbin:

If you're on a centralised platform like Reddit, this is what they can do. Centralised platforms have all-powerful leaders who can do whatever they want, and you have no alternatives if you disagree.

The point of the Fediverse being on lots of servers is that each server's power is limited. If you disagree with one server's actions, you can move.

This is so incredibly powerful and should give us so much hope. The light of Jesus shining through these girls overpowers a sea of darkness

The Apple nerd goggles cost 3500 dollars, which is two mortgage payments for the average homeowner. I wonder how many people will buy these things and then still complain that they need help repaying their student loans.

uh oh, we are facing a record low temperature for our area in WV/MD

I think global cooling is coming back

quick, have more babies and drill for more oil

If you're ever on the receiving end of relentless political attacks, you can always turn it into a win by going on a Twitter space and sharing your faith in Christ — not Trump or DeSantis — with hundreds of thousands of listeners.

People are so focused.on "tax the rich".

Maybe instead they should be focused on "stop giving the rich all our money"?

Our far left prime minister just pledged 18 billion dollars to Volkswagen for a 5 billion dollar battery plant, in a country of 45 million people. About 500 dollars for every man, woman, and child in the country.

There's homeless people begging in the streets. There's hundreds of native reserves without water. But no, it's the poor poor company founded by Hitler that really needs that money, extracted directly from the middle class and future generations.

Fake conservatives agree to fake spending cuts. Deal will increase mandatory spending ~5%, increase military spending ~3%, and maintain current non-military discretionary spending at post-COVID levels. No real cuts to see here.

Conservatives have been sold out once again!

Very nice #roadmap for #librem5 development by @purism.

They focus totally on the right things. I'm very happy to be a Librem5 owner.

Communist regimes were not some unfortunate aberration, some historical deviation from a socialist ideal.

They were the ultimate expression, unconstrained by democratic and electoral pressures, of what socialism is all about:

State ownership at the expense of private property.

Government control at the expense of individual enterprise.

The pursuit of equality at the expense of opportunity for all.

In short, the state was everything and the individual nothing.
