I love getting reported, because it's like "Oh! Shit! Ya got me! I'll go downstairs and unplug the servers!"
I believe both facebook chat and google chat started as xmpp compatible before they got their stuff working the way they wanted and shut down the original. Microsoft isn't the only one with an embrace, extend, extinguish strategy.
Not related to the quite interesting scene, this film, one of the earliest films made, won't enter the public domain until 2047.
I can't begin to express how disgusting that is. Every single person involved with the creation of this movie is certainly dead of old age. Their kids are probably dead of old age. Their grandkids are starting to die of old age. And by the time 2047 rolls around, their great grandkids would be largely dead of old age.
Four generations, each given the full power of the government to protect a work they have increasingly less claim to. How many of us even know what our great grandfather did for a living, let alone think we have a claim to the fruits of that labor?
I modified the legal page of The Graysonian Ethic to release the copyright to the public domain 15 years after first print, as it really ought to be. If I can't make back the money and time I spent on the book by then, it just wasn't meant to be.

If anyone wants to continue to pretend that senator Warren cares in the least of both common man, just remember her chewing a strip off of fed chairman Powell for having the audacity to try to tackle inflation.
Inflation doesn't matter when you're rich already, your assets just keep on going up. Inflation matters an awful lot when you earn a wage, because every day the value of your dollars are shrinking just a little bit more. Senator Karen is rich already and uses the working class as a human shield.

One thing that I'm starting to realize is a lot of the things that were criticized earlier turned out to be true. Instant gratification is in fact bad, and it turns out sitting with a screen one inch from your eyes all day everyday actually does wreck your eyes. Asian Urban centers have massive problems with nearsightedness.
I've spoken and written about that at length.
Great, they're really good at Facebook and YouTube. That does not make them good at technology. The moment you get off of the 15 buttons they know how to use they often become more useless than the boomers.
They once tested dogs and wolves for intelligence. They found that both were roughly the same intelligence, but a wolf will stick to a problem because they are all they've got, while a dog will give up and look to his master to solve the problem because they're fundamentally built for subservience. Something worth thinking about in general.

Having had covid after I was vaccinated... That was not worth shutting down planet earth over.
The fact it's not that dangerous is almost worse. It's like a reverse skinner box and the rats are constantly pushing the button convinced it's doing something...

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.
