What else would you expect from a dictator?

I’m very sorry to learn that Rochko is stepping down as Mastodon CEO. I think he has probably contributed more than any other person to the success of the Fediverse. And it won’t be the same without him.

So you want the Fediverse, where people fled to get away from the commercial Internet, to become just like it?

I don’t understand why the new social media laws aren’t causing people suffering under free-speech-hating governments to flee to darkweb social media sites where the laws can’t be enforced. I know there aren’t many social media sites there for non-criminals, but why aren’t individuals with the minimal skills required to make hidden-service sites doing so?

Thanks.

I want to know if the Gnostics were right and this really is a prison planet for consciousnesses. The next thing I want to know is how to escape from the prison.

Wow, this is bad. I thought this was over when Germany chose not to support it. Apparently not!

Finally someone is saying to Trump administration officials, “No, you can’t do whatever the f%^k you want. YOU have to obey the law too.”

No matter how profitable a company is (which doesn’t apply here) it can’t resist increasing profits even more. They are all like an AI being told to make paperclips and not stopping until they have converted the entire mass of the universe into paperclips.

Windows will probably add AI too, so the only option without it may be Linux.
