Isn't this just standard issue PMC liberalism?

Do your part, and please share it with me so I can get stoked with you.

Great news everyone! I'm still alive and have dropped a post on my plans to violently knife as many software recruiters as possible, and also talk about how all the managers that seemed incompetent were, in fact, totally incompetent:

The DOJ and CFTC are going after a US soldier who allegedly used his access to confidential military information to profit more than $400,000 on Polymarket bets. They are not going after Polymarket, which is supposed to prohibit US bettors, and whose advisory board includes Donald Trump Jr.

“The whole world, unfortunately, has become somewhat of a casino,” said former casino tycoon and current President Trump.

“I don’t like it,” said the man whose own social media platform has announced plans to launch a crypto-based prediction market feature.

If you’re not looking at webrings, neocities, and small web, you’re missing out on a lot of neat and weird fun.

Creativity is back on the menu, comrades.

Yesterday,we were able to prepare the #gardening space with young people looking forward to #endhunger through #agriculture.
The new learners welcomed #foodproduction lessons and ideas of #sustainability .
We finished this work,and hoping to make #vegetable nursery beds on #sunday .
For the time we spent together ,they got to know that they can lead to positive changes wherever they are especially against hunger and saving the planet.

I don't know if this is really a thing on the Fediverse or not, but do people trade old books on here? Is there a book swap? Or even a digital little free library where all you pay is shipping?

I'm looking for some Kahlil Gibran books, particularly "Sand & Foam" and "The Madman." If you've got any old still-readable copies you don't need, please get in touch!

I will be voting in November, but I won’t be donating to campaigns I don’t believe in. I won’t be signing petitions I don’t really support. I won’t be filling out surveys. If people want my support, they will support working people.

what are some good translation apps/services that are either open or european?

I know DeepL, but looking for an alternative what with their AI layoffs and shitty app patterns

I just refreshed the #WSocial website and it's showing a MAJOR redesign... with a label at the top stating "built on the open AT-protocol."

This is the first time ever they acknowledge this – I know, as I've been visiting their website for MONTHS and also never heard about this in any interviews. So the claims in my exposé stand (the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine would confirm this).

Of note: they changed their URL from wsocial.eu to wsocial.news

BTW thanks for all your feedback ❤️
