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

Its that good old American puritanical spirit at work

"Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death"

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

I use a browser extension (running Librewolf if it matters) which works for entire pages or selected text:

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:
