So there's a lot of kvetching, from myself included, about how the modern internet has gotten worse, usually due to a combination of SEO, social media gone evil, and the prevalence of money as more and more of a guiding factor in tech.
But of course the old internet had the problem of being fairly boring. The interesting question is how to get a third way. I've heard a few proposals:

Riscrivo qui per maggior visibilità a proposito del bridge #Mastodon #Bluesky (con https://fed.brid.gy). 😁
Da quello che ho visto, per un'interazione tra i due "universi" è necessario che:
gli utenti Mastodon seguano dal loro account @bsky.brid.gy
gli utenti Bluesky seguano dal loro account

From The Verge: Jack Dorsey says he’s no longer on Bluesky’s board
> There’s seemingly no evidence that Dorsey is off the Bluesky board yet, apart from his post. The company still lists him as a board member, along with its CEO, Jay Graeber, and Jabber / XMPP inventor Jeremie Miller.
Jack just abruptly broke up with #BlueSky on #Twitter?
Also, I was sure his distancing was a strategic move. Guess he really was just throwing a tantrum.

It irritates me way more than it should that the bubbles on my kid's sticker sheets are clearly just copy-and-pasted "O" characters from some basic font.

when I was a kid, there was this cat named Don Muro who would tour schools performing concerts on his super high tech synthesizers, showing how it all worked together to let him make so much music all by himself.
cat was also a working musician, recording and composing and publishing, but he used the money gigs to pay for his trips around to spread the word.
he's still at it and that makes him one of my heroes.

Disappointed to see The Markup share advice for people to use WhatsApp in its post about preparing your phone for a protest, and that it's coming from "digital security trainers."
Metadata literally kills, and WhatsApp is swimming in it. The metadata they collect includes:
Groups you're a member of, location, personal info (email, phone number, user IDs), contacts and their phone numbers, in-app search history, when you use the app & how often you use it. E2EE alone doesn't guarantee #privacy

I've written up the above scam in more detail.
Remember, no matter how clever and security-conscious you think you are, these criminals are highly sophisticated.

- Ink drawing of a young woman in a sexy cartoon style. Her long straight hair and skin is white. Strands of hair flowing over her breasts. She is slightly covering herself with her right hand touching her thigh and her left hand gripping her right upper arm. Her right arm has stylized tattoos of crescent moons and star constellations. She is wearing a golden headpiece with spikes, a crescent moon at the top and some circles. Her makeup is also black and gold. Behind her a black rectangle gives contrast, detailed with white star constellations and blinking stars. (remote)

When I was a kid I figured out that if I wanted to know how the magician did a trick I shouldn't look where they pointed. Then I figured out that this didn't just apply to magicians, but to politicians, media, clergy, and more.
A whole bunch of folks have not figured this out.

- We see Carl’s face, reflected in orange from the window of a drying machine, as he stares down at the drying machine display, confused, and says, “What the…?” The display of the drying machine reads “- 10 yrs” (remote)
- Carl frowns and mutters “Great… goddamn slug broke the whole machine” (remote)
- Carl focuses his attention away from the drying machine to say, “Hey Hassan, that slug didn’t work. Do me a favor and go tell the guy that we -“ but doesn’t notice that his reflection is now blue and shows him 30 years younger, dressed in a fast food restaurant uniform. (remote)
- Carl looks shocked as he notices his younger self in the reflection of the drying machine. (remote)

Mastodon FeedWhen I want my mind blown, I compare former world's largest supercomputers to the tech I have around.
ASCI Red, the world's fastest supercomputer until the year 2000, was 150m² large, consumed 850,000W of power …and was slower than an iPhone 14 Pro, which uses ~6W.
ASCI Red had over 1TB of RAM, which may still sound impressive, except that RAM was 2× slower than the iPhone's 1TB SSD.
