All this could have been hidden away if only we shuttered NOAA and the National Hurricane Center, and someone could have made money off the disaster.

I'm trying to extend some grace to artists with an already established track record of being great while they figure out their approach or stance on generative "AI".
(Still not buying any "AI" slop/spam they curate while they do so.)

"no, really, it's good," they say, "it's so very promising for the future of the fediverse that this very serious organization has been founded to help steer the direction of the social web along with the big corporate players in the social space" and then pwoom! I launch the sundogistani trebuchet and send them back into the void from whence they came.

I wish I could find it, but there's this video of a creator replying to an incredulous commenter about them never wanting to visit Italy.
They said something to the effect of, "Before I go anywhere I ask— are there Black people there, do they like Black people, are Black people safe? And if the answer is no, I don't go there."

Oh and I'll bet my socks #Meta wants the term social web instead of #Fediverse, aka Federated Universe, as it implies a lurking Federal power.
Not a good look for a comically evil corp biding its time before all the small Activity Pub fiefdoms are forced onto its infrastructure by way of regulatory capture.

Digital communities need to be smaller and decentralized from the fucking pipes to the platform.
Sovereign by default, federated case by case under individual community governance.
Without a federal authority, appointed or de facto.
The term "eco-chamber" has been weaponized.
The marketplace of ideas is a lie perpetuated by market landlords and their vassals. We never had a say in anything.
That about sums it up for my hot takes.

Records obtained by the Guardian show that lobbyists working for major North American oil and gas companies were key architects of anti-protest laws that increase penalties and could lead to non-violent environmental and climate activists being imprisoned up to 10 years.

@Starfia @slightlyoff I (and many devs who know they could do more) are held back by what is possible on iOS. We can't afford to only build a web app for Android. It needs to work on iOS as well.
So iOS gets to set the ceiling of what the web can do

Hackers showed me (there's video) how a website vulnerability let them locate, unlock, honk the horn, start ignition of any of millions Kias in seconds, just by reading a car's license plate.
They found similar bugs for a dozen carmakers over the last two years.

Real question: if Apple was *explicitly* trying to hamstring the web (without getting caught), what would it do differently?
