Just a PSA: you can jump into my mentions, include me on replies to my Boosts, scrape and index my toots, print my photos and hang them in your restaurant I don’t care this is a void I am shouting into as a gift you can do as you please with that

Someone recommends a band by giving me their instagram.
No music clips on their instagram, link in bio to their official site.
Official site says listen now! Links to Spotify. Oh boy
Spotify shows a music player. Click play thinking maybe I'll get to hear at least 15 seconds annnnnd account sign up begging page Fuuuuuuuuuu nevermind

#Google starts to lock out non-official Chrome builds like #Chromium. The #web is a cricual infrastructure these days and as such we need independent browsers and rendering engines!
If you care about the free and open web you shouldn't use Chrome based browsers.

We didn't "all" make it.
Only those of us that survived "made it" we're loosing thousands of people a day to an avoidable crisis, we deported thousands, we executed hundreds.
We didn't "all" make it.

With all the talk of #Signal and #distributed #IM lately, I thought I'd go a step further: here's a roundup of secure off-the-grid messengers: https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10205-roundup-of-secure-messengers-with-off-the-grid-capabilities-distributed-mesh-messengers These all use strong #encryption, provide #privacy, and can be used without any Internet connection at all.
#briar is an interesting hybrid; while it uses #Bluetooth instead of longer-range #LoRa, it doesn't need any extra hardware and can route IMs over #Tor, #Bluetooth, or local #Wifi (even w/o Internet). @briar
Wheeeww in 2021 I gotta stop messaging old friends on Signal who ghost me for days while they are active on Facebook 30 times an hour
Lately I’ve been seeing high functioning people finally showing signs that they are experiencing mental health struggles. To those folks:
👋 welcome, welcome. I think you’ll see you’re in good company

More perspective?
The global energy consumption in 2017 was 22.3 terawatt hours.
If we moved all financial transactions over to Bitcoin, we'd require over 1000 terawatt hours... each day(!) for Bitcoin transactions alone(!).
That doesn't even factor in that Bitcoin's energy consumption will be exponential to the amount of transactions.

Misinformation went down after Twitter banned Trump - The Washington Post - https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/01/16/misinformation-trump-twitter/
The new research by the San Francisco-based analytics firm reported that conversations about election fraud dropped from 2.5 million mentions to 688,000 mentions across several social media sites in the week after Trump was banned from Twitter.

when you hear of Signal going down due to a flood of interest, it is wise to think that makes it an enormous target for state-sponsored and other would-be compromisers
Signal down for an entire day huh
Imagine if this were some kind of emergency where we all needed a secure messenger huh
