This isn't just relevant to software but to our whole world right now.
Lots of people really want someone to come in and tell them exactly what do do, and they won't accept "just calm down and live your life to the best of your ability" as an answer.

A million bucks and I'll happily retire from adminning fbxl sites.
But yeah, then just move to something else. Domain names are cheap

I feel like a single billionaire could spend enough money to buy the entire fediverse. It's only a few thousand servers, everyone has a price.
Now, they wouldnt because that would be stupid, but they could. Billions is a lot of money!

Shut it down guys, we're all Russians.
I mean, I've known I'm Russian since Trudeau claimed I was one for disagreeing with him, but this is probably a shock to all of the rest of you.

re: Meanwhile. In CanaDUH.
The first story I heard about from an independent source and it sounded legitimate. I found this page suggesting it's quite true: https://www.otpp.com/en-ca/about-us/news-and-insights/2022/ontario-teachers--statement-on-ftx/
The website appears to be over 20 years old, so I have every reason to believe it's the real otpp site.
As for the second, Canada refines its own fuels and has lots of its own fossil fuels, so it seems unlikely that it would magically have shortages until we're well and truly into a worldwide crisis and our supplies were being bid for at extraordinary prices that wouldn't allow us to keep it in the country.

Yes I do! No idea in retrospect how I typed all that stuff out with the attention span I had at the time.
Imagine being on a platform where you're treated like just another user, and not a particularly important user at that?
Of course they scurried back to their big tech.

Here's a list of lemmy and lotide instances that I've had good luck with. Unfortunately a lot of the main lemmy instances are highly censorship focused, these are instances that I've found seem kosher with open discussion without immediately throwing out diverse opinions.
That isn't to say that they're all full free speech havens, but I know for a lot of you guys like me, the main lemmy instances banning all wrongthink immediately destroyed any interest in the platform, but there are some good sites out there worth looking at.
wolfballs.com
exploding-heads.com
narwhal.city
mander.xyz
gtio.io
heapoverflow.ml
community.xmpp.net
slrpnk.net
federated.community
lemmy.otakufarms.com
community.hackliberty.org
nrsk.no
donky.social
And of course lotide.fbxl.net
The biggest thing we need in these communities is participation. There's quite a bit of activity in some of these communities, so they're worth taking a look at, especially since they're federated. You can subscribe to communities using mastodon/pleroma/soapbox by following community@site , but personally I think it makes more sense to have a separate account on lemmy or lotide since the form of discussion is so different. However you decide to participate, a lot of good folks are putting a lot of good work in on making that part of the fediverse something legitimately worth checking out at this point.

I got my domains from them forever ago and for a long term so it's sort of inertia, but I'm sure they're not unique in being capable of changing your DNS entries with a script.
It turned out to be surprisingly easy to get godaddy to operate as a dynamic DNS service. It's a single script available online that you just set up as a cronjob to update the DNS if your outside address changed.
Probably a lot fewer barriers to entry than most people might think.

One thing I've found is that kids aren't as good with technology outside the guardrails as you'd expect.
People mistake "good at using the ipad" for being good with technology. Then the button they always press doesn't work and they're totally lost as to what to do next.
If we want to have a next generation of technologists, we're going to have to work to make sure kids are getting a solid foundation of technology early. My next book is going to be a sort of introduction to computer technology wrapped around an introduction to programming, I'll probably use it later to help my son get into computers properly. You know, back in my day computers came with manuals and massive nerds could sit and read through the manuals!

Sure seems like Mr 5d chess is falling directly into a trap everyone can see placed for him.
The interesting thing I realized when I visited a panel @RekietaLaw ran at a comic book convention was just how diverse his fans are. There were people of all races, some of his fans are gay, and he was invited by a transgender person.
It made me realize that the concept that these psychos have a monopoly on diversity is simply a lie. The only thing they have a monopoly on is making it an issue.

In the book, the big point was that by mindlessly turning your brain off and just following any ideology you will end up wrong because reality isn't that clean. Some of the monsters in the book turned out to be good, but some turned out to be evil and so in that way both groups were correct, but they were also both incorrect.
That being said, I agree with what you just said. An observation I made is that people will appeal to whatever the power of the moment is. When the Church was the most powerful thing in the land, people would align themselves with that. Today wokeness appears to be the most powerful thing in the land, so many people (and organizations) align themselves with that. If tomorrow carrot farmers became the highest power in the land, look at all the people and organizations that magically find ways to explain why the thing they want ultimately helps the carrot farmers.
I saw an interview a few years back with an employment lawyer who made a fantastic case that if the workers are busy fighting themselves over their differences, they won't band together to fight the company.
