Someone gotta tell the dems they can do two things at once. You can advocate for your economic policies without "focusing less on...democracy"(?).

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Cuz don't tell anyone but I do have my doubts about microblogging being able to support healthy communication beyond a relatively small scale.

Plus it's clearer and stronger than "interoperability." Even so, it won't matter until it can actually matter. So I'm glad to see things trending that way. Towards interchangeable implementations of microblogging, sure. But also towards building new tools and use-cases on the same protocol.

"Interchangeability" is a good word I hadn't considered, even tho it eats character count. Seems like it's a step closer to user- and value-centric than the nerd-wank terms like distributed, decentralized, or federated. Not to mention something that should continue to grow more tangible over time.

Yeah I definitely paid more than I should have for 5 haha. The rest I managed to find okay deals on, but I finally had to come to terms with the reality I was never gonna find a good deal on 5 and if I wanted it I just had to do it.

This is where I do something silly like say I'm going to beat them all on stream. Well, I can't promise to beat them, but I would like to play them in more depth. Only ever beat 1 and 2 (not on original hardware), and 3 is the only other one I've played a significant amount of. Could be fun.

Ah it's been nearly a month now so it's time to post another reminder: X is a ratchet employed solely to position the Overton window and build an illusion of public consensus via algorithms and AI controlled by one of the richest people in the world.

I've spent a while trying to figure out if these people are worse or the MAFS Denver folks from last year are worse. And ultimately all I can come up with is I'm not going to Denver any time soon.

We're so relieved to see Germany reaffirm its opposition to the dangerous Chat Control proposal--the one that would mandate mass scanning of communications. Germany's long been a solid champion of privacy, and the news that it was considering backing mass surveillance was alarming. 1/

Earnest: ATproto providing an event stream with everyones' activity that is nearly trivial to access and act on without exorbitant API fees is powerful and potentially transformative. I just hope we can think of better things to do with it than to be cops.
