I've noticed something similar. Mastodon is fine, but it isn't the only part of this amazing federated universe.
I literally don't know what the problem is, isn't killing children one of the things they're fighting for?
I think that all of it is done as part of a course of action intended to weaponize politics.
The first step is to atomize political ideas so you got all these different ideas and often different elements of the same idea that don't make sense to separate, and even things that could potentially be considered part of the same spectrum are then separated into separate and often opposing ideas, and it's that opposition that leads into the second thing that they do. The second thing is to take those newly atomized political ideas and reintegrate them in ways that don't follow, but are useful.
One of the best examples of this was right after George Floyd was killed, and if you wanted to agree with the proposition that we should probably take a look and make sure black people weren't getting murdered by police, suddenly you also had to agree in transgender ideology the destruction of the atomic family and the abolition of capitalism. Sort of feels like the way cable companies bundle stuff together. This allows unpopular ideas to remora onto popular ones.
It also lets you to the opposite. If you think about it, isn't it odd that somehow they would be able to connect not wanting to take an experimental drug to all the isms? Logically it doesn't remotely follow, yet they were able to clump them together to make it easier to attack a reasonable position by tying it to unreasonable ones...

So I guess this does occasionally happen.

A strike by the cupe union has shut down Ontario schools.
How about we keep them closed permanently?

It's a futile lawsuit anyway since it appears all the laid off employees are still employees until February. I didn't count, but that looks like it's more than 60 days away to me.
A lot of this fuckery in a lot of ways is going to go away.
It's going to be a massive recession, companies won't survive if they're busy trying to "ackshually we're really activists".
The methods used to get out of the great financial crisis broke businesses. It convinced them that they don't need to make money to survive, and that they don't need to make their customers happy to make money. They're in for a huge reality check.

I had a shitty computer and a high tolerance for bad frame rates, so I was always hoping back in the day that there was some way quake could run on a shittier computer. No luck back then. I bet today with source ports we'd be much closer to that working
One of the things I've found I have to accept is that sometimes people I like say things I disagree with, and sometimes people I don't particularly like say things I very much agree with. The ideas live or die on their own merits...
Desktop as a service is something that's becoming more commonplace. You pay a certain amount for access to a fully powered computer that you can access on the road or using a less powerful computer.
Personally, I looked into it for a bit, but the economics didn't really work for me. It's fairly expensive from what I saw.

It sounds like an absurd "let them eat cake" question, but the majority of Canadians live in cities where the average single family home costs ONE MILLION DOLLARS or more, and taxes are very high. You get into your million dollar home, you pay your 8,000 or 10,000 annually in land taxes on top of the 50% income taxes, you're paying high food costs, high insurance costs, high energy costs, some of the highest Internet and cell phone prices in the world, and before long you're looking at six figures just to have a basic life.
The Trudeau government wants to blame everyone but themselves, but if you look at every single election campaign, they throw more incentives at buying a home, as if they aren't just raising the costs of an individual home in doing so.
More of the Canadian economy is selling crappy houses to each or surrounding services other than manufacturing. Not by a small amount.
If inflation doesn't get in check, then mortgage rates are going to continue to rise, and a lot of people who were relying on the government to continue keeping interest rates low forever are going to discover that with interest rates being what they are there is no mortgage term long enough where they can ever pay back their house. At the 1% some mortgages were coming out at, your monthly payment for 900,000 of debt over a whopping 30 years is about 2800/month. At the current rates of about 6%, that rises to 5300/month. At the historical average prior to the great recession of about 9%, payments work out to about 7100 monthly. Accounting for tax, 7100 monthly is a six figure job just to pay that. You'd already be spending almost two dollars in interest for every dollar in principal.

Still lots of shortages of lots of stuff.
Baby Tylenol is literally rarer than gold. You can buy gold right now.

Anyone else want to give up their computer so they can let a regime that opposes everything we stand for can build more data centers instead?
Me neither.
