Mbin (rip kbin) reminds me of TweetDeck and the like from back in the day, when I could monitor feeds across Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. That's part of why I like it. It puts everything in one place.

I keep wanting to try Misskey, Sharkey, or Firefin. I like the concept but keep sticking to Mbin, Mastodon, and Threads.

Many who live deserve death. Many who have died deserve life. Can you give it to them? Do not be so eager to deal out death in judgment.

I'd put it in a box and drop it in a river.

Wait, how is losing my independent speakers and having an audio setup not instantly compatible with my CD player, VCR, and my Victrola an upgrade?

Oh. So it depends on your position on WPEngine instead.

So, communists in practice.

All of you who were making a fuss over Threads had better act the same way about this - after all, it's Verizon.

Linux nothing. DOS is like that for me too.

Gnorts, Mr. Alien!

And which alternative do you support?

Trauma makes people do strange things. Given what his family went through with kidnapping and murder, it's entirely possible that he started on that road thanks to a sincere desire to never see another person's child get killed. What emerged from there may easily have started as blaming the people in his life that he saw either trying to push young men to go and die, or that he somehow blamed for the murder of his child. I can't bring myself to hate the man - his turn from glory to agony was so abrupt that any clear voice in the midst of madness and pain probably seemed like something worth holding onto. It's amazing what people believe when they're grieving or traumatized.

To me, that's when his death started. The Nazi sympathizer was just a dead man walking, a bereft father of a kidnapped and murdered baby, not the national hero who inspired a dance craze with his aeronautic feat.

So you're suggesting that the USA must, economically, start WW3?

So basically we need to use whatever money is made from tariffs and invest in labor and manufacturing.

I meant specifically for ActivityPub & the Fediverse. Now there's money in it.

And the enshittification process begins anew.

That's a sub I never had much respect for. I don't mind.

It's easy to find fans. It's impossible to find volunteers. This is the only alternative to what's been termed "enshittification", which is just corporatization of general audience media. Only three outcomes exist for media: either it stays extremely small and never gains an audience so that it never exceeds the initial infrastructure, it shuts down because there are never volunteers or enough money in donations to employ anyone, or it becomes corporate and profit seeking in order to employ people and stay live.

Only the third of those can be defined as being successful, and it is immediately related to the term coined by Doctorow.

Too many people I know have relatives whose DNR has been violated. And that bugs me.

I used to have a USB floppy drive too. Now I just have disk images.
