Pave the earth approved picture

I really like kbins layout/structure, it’s like a mix of reddit and twitter and with some optimization could really be something special.

That old George Carlin bit is more relevant than ever:

This is a good example, it’s a hydrophone recording of a glass sphere imploding, the level of sound and echo should give you a good idea of the kind of forces we’re dealing with:

Easy enough, we just build a jail so big that we can fit the entire world inside of it, boom no more crime.

Frankly I think we need more people before we can start getting concerned about things like that. If we’re trying to make the Fediverse a viable alternative it has to be appealing and easy enough to use that people want to use it. If we don’t get that right this whole thing is doomed from the start

At first everything about this was infuriating but now I want to see the entire C-suite of Meta and Twitter face off in gladiatorial combat, and we can stream it all on twitch and bet on who will live

Yeah it does not portend well for the future, especially combined with the current explosion of low quality, profit driven content. I fear if left unchecked we could approach some kind of Kessler Syndrome-style scenario where desire for rapid growth and profit will poison the well in the long term. “Garbage in, garbage out”

Its that good old American puritanical spirit at work

It’s not a real keygen if there’s no chiptune music

The live page psuedo app is working well for me on grapheneOS with the vanadium browser, I do also get a random 503 error but it’s already so much better than a couple days ago

It would help alot If telecom/internet infrastructure was treated like our other infrastructure. Not to mention the literal billions of dollars in fraud that companies like Verizon and Comcast get away with. I still get mad when I think about how they were given massive sums of money to expand fiber optic infrastructure and gave themselves bonuses instead.

Go download Fdroid and go to town, its a great repository of FOSS android apps

A Scanner Darkly is an incredibly moving and haunting novel to anyone who’s ever struggled with drug addiction. For a nonfiction book probably “Kill Anything That Moves” which is about the horrifying and infuriatting reality of the U.S. war in Vietnam, and “The Hot Zone” by Richard Preston

Sure, they’re going to be an adult company now and turn all of those memes, anime and genital pics into sweet sweet ad money, just like a real megacorp!

It’s really a shame that everything good and valuable in the world has to be boiled down to a fucking dollar sign…

Here’s an archive.org link of the /r/datahoarder post I saw, the downloader tools at the bottom are probably most of interest but still some good links/info there:

I haven’t been on reddit in a few days but before I left I recall seeing someone post a github link that touted something like that for lemmy instances. Haven’t found anything for kbin but I know there are tools out there for scraping data/images/etc from different subreddits and users
