Really now, why do people stubbornly adhere to the belief that Government entities require warrants to determine anything about you - like, where you are at this particular moment or the GPS coordinates of your location last Tuesday at 17:42hrs UTC? ... And pretty much anything else you can dream up about yourself: The content of conversations with others, everything you've purchased at anytime, what you are likely to eat for dinner this coming Friday, your medical records; you name it!
All without a warrant, even for local law enforcement.
And why would they bother, when they can just buy it from the #privacy_mining companies that you already gave it to for free?

@Owl @minds I can't speak toward anything that you haven't mentioned, but as far as those two tactics, I'm perfectly comfortable with the trajectory it sets in motion for those miscreants, and I welcome them to place themselves into a bubble, all alone with themselves.
For a little background, see my earlier post ;) It certainly works for me, with no regrets whatsoever, and truth be told, those EU and California residents disregard their own governments anyway, contrary to what is specified my TOS/AUP.
People don't like to be excluded based on where they live, and will ignore the edicts of their own governments, just so they can belong.

Why.... Yes of course they do - Duh!
Empowered by you to do so.
So what are you complaining about?
i.e., You brought this upon yourself and wanted it to happen - it is what it is and this is the mess you made of it.
Just be happy you got what you wanted 🎅 for 🌲 Christmas ☃️ coz some folks don't have a google to act in their best interests 🦌

Why would you do that?
I mean, I remember getting similar requests after posting a pic of a squashed bluejay in the road while commenting on the demise of Twitter, and accordingly, I went back, edited the post, and added the CW for the photo - only because to me it did seem, in review, as being a little over the top.
But here's the rub, if you're honestly comfortable with the post, then why didn't you simply avail yourself of the ample array of tools at your disposal and simply mute those other people?
Chris, you can't live your life through the false sensibilities of others unless you don't place a lot of value upon you being you - they had the opportunity to simply mute you from their streams (or just automatically cw all of your posts) but instead they chose to attempt to shape your freaking conversations by shaming you.
Shame on then for being punk ass whiney little bitches.
You be you my friend, shamelessly and unabashedly so + or pretend to be that which you are not.... but the latter would be a sad commentary.

@fsologureng @onepict @reforestingglens
My 40 acre ranch in the high desert (Mojave desert) was an 🤔 interesting place where water and mineral rights were concerned. Mineral first:
On my property, I had water rights, but not mineral rights. That meant if I prospected and accumulated a few milligrams of gold I could go to prison for s felony. The irony of that was the fact that, being surrounded in three sides by hundreds of square miles of BLM (public) land, I could literally just hop my fence, file a gold claim for a ridiculous pittance (like ten or twenty dollars) with the government, and mine for and keep all the gold I could find.
Now, water was more of a clusterfuck.
I had two wells, and I had piped water from one of the several "water districts" (public utilities operated by locally elected residents of the community with paid staff). One of my wells (the one I installed) was 360' deep (most were less but I was on top of a small mountainous area).The water districts themselves had monthly meetings, which were so contentious that local citizens would regularly come to fisticuffs and batter each other in combat. On a couple of occasions guns were drawn (yes, it really is the wild west out there in those remote areas). Off duty sheriff's deputies were also hired as security guards at a could of the more contentious districts, and if you were stupid enough to run in an election for water board member fully half of everyone in the district would instantly hate you within a month (competely polarized community on water rights issues).
If you were gullible enough to accept nomination to run for a water board, seat you were then literally a public politician and some Water Board members went to prison for not knowing enough about public disclosure in public agencies (or they were corrupt - or both) for violations of something called, "The Brown Act".
Now, because I had my own wells I didn't need to, or shouldn't have had to, concern myself with those shenanigans, but there long arm of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power extended a hundred miles out to where I was and indeed, all the way north a thousand miles to almost the Oregan border...
LADWP wanted to construct humongous transmission lines right across the ridge from my ranch, literally devastating the ecosystem, in a project called "The Green Path" (whenever you hear the word green, run - think of ashes and destruction). We were lucky - we beat those powerful bitches back and they had to reroute their plans to someone else's natural habitat.
This was the first environmental and community disaster proposed that i had to deal with - electric transmission from miles away, through my rural community (none of it for us), all the way to Los Angeles, across federally protected BLM land!
But an initiative to divert water (stolen from Mount Shasta and Mono Lake, Etc., in Northern California by LADWP, and now owned by them, pumping that diverted water into our aquifers stepped up the mountain towards Big Bear (like underground egg crates filled up with water that cascade from the mountains and across the desert for) did directly threaten me and anyone else with wells or those with water rights on their properties...
Basically, had that proposal gone through, they would have claimed that at least some portion of the water pumped from my own wells, on my own property, actually belonged to the local water district - water they purchased from the LADWP.
Bullshit, I say, we beat them back too but the challenge to our sovereignty was relentless. Eventually, by hook or by fucking crook, they would get their revenue for things that were not the theirs water boards being both private and public and quasi general bodies, and ask at the same time (really confusing).
Charge me for my own 💦 water? Ummm, "them's fightin' words" to many folks, and in a rural place like that, could've gotten real ugly. People out there don't like government sniffing around their asses and move there to be left alone.
At the time I sold my property out there the LADWP and local water boards were pushing a compromise - those with existing weeks would be exempt through a grandfather clause, and new wells would be subject to monetary assessments for a certain amount per acre feet of water pumped - with water district's meters placed on those wells to measure their consumption.
What would be the point of having your own well in that scenario?
It would be more economical to just pay for piped water (if available) or trucked in water from the water district to your holding tanks every month. They fucking own you now.
That means at some point (but of course), that every property would be subject to this extortion and embezzlement scheme, as it would creep in over the next few decades.
In the 1920's or so, when Mulholland himself pushed through contracts with as many communities and farmers in Northern California as he could, enabling him to steal water from the Owens Valley for Los Angeles a thousand miles to the south - that didn't go so well, and literally started a war, with bombings and guns and the people pitted against law enforcement agencies completely out of their jurisdictions - like union strike buster bullies...
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/flood-desert-california-water-wars-violent/
As we've seen throughout history, you can reign victorious through the strategy of divide and conquer with a little bit of bloodshed from innocents and a lot of fricken' money. You can steal anything you want, subjugate people, lord over them, and eventually find a way to legitimize your criminal conquest.

@gordoooo_z @PhenomX6 @futurebird @ink8 Whatever Eugen decides at this point it’s irrelevant. He’s pretty much lost his grip over holding the Fediverse brand as secondary to the notion of a fantasy “mastodon network” when he gave that Time Magazine interview two months ago in which the word “Fediverse” appeared not one single time - that caused enormous, untold damages including confusion that remains in the news media and disenfranchisement of large swaths of developers and users alike on not just other platforms, but mastodon instances themselves.
There’s really no such thing as toots anymore, Eugen himself refers to “Posts” and “Quote Posts”, and the submit button in mastodon now says “publish”. The reason #Misskey calls them “notes” is because that’s what they are actually called in #ActivityPub - there are also other types, that other platforms use as well, including “article”, although, instances like #qoto have set the character count for notes at 65535 🙂
It’s been covered in this thread already that Quote Posts are simply beyond the control of mastodon devs, Eugen’s edicts, or local mastodon users or admins, because most other platforms support it and there isn’t anything #mastopub can do about it. In Misskey, users can disallow it, but that only affects other local users, so it’s s moot point (except for silo instances).
There are very few Fediverse platforms that aren’t taking advantage of most things that are possible, for example, #Soapbox now has federated events, and introduced custom emoji reactions like Misskey has, and live chat - Misskey’s traditionally led the way with these federating features with #Calckey going even further.
Some platforms however, intentionally incorporate a leaner set of features; #Smithereen is one example, it doesn’t even sccomodate boosts, which harkens back to #Myspace, #VKontakte (aka, “VK” - not sure I spelled that right), and very early #Faceplant days. #Epicyon has anti-silo capabilities baked in.
#Mitra has #Substack style subscriptions at it’s core. Anyone can subscribe remotely from any Fediverse server instance where the user can receive DMs - and in congruence with privacy concerns that are typically expected for Fediverse implementations, it’s based on #Monero (XMR).
Most platforms also support #Markdown, with Cakckey being perhaps supporting the greatest superset IIRC, including #LaTEX, and #Friendica, being much older than msstodon, has continued to evolve over the past decade and still has support for #BBCode too, and direct links for uploading images for those who prefer to.
I didn’t see any mention of Markdown support when I bothered to look at the mastopub roadmap, yet even on that platform, Quote Posts are all throughout the stream and people boost and reply to them as the time - and, as mentioned earlier, anyone can create a post, simply pasting the link from someone else’s post, and then boost that… Voila! Local #Quote_Post.
mastodon was successful in its arrogance of leveraging some pretty graphics and welcoming verbiage into a brand that Eugen weaponized against virtually all other Fediverse platforms, and now, with all of the fine forks like #Hometown and several newcomers, we’ll soon be seeing hardforking as a result of that hostility.
But not just forks, funding and ambitious development as evidenced by existing and emerging platforms like #Cloudflare’s #Wildebeest, Tumbler, and the very unique, #Django based Takahē Fediverse server that I wrote about here:
https://tallship.writeas.com/takahe-a-new-fediverse-paradigm
Average people are already migrating in larger numbers everyday away from the archaic mastodonian resource hog to other, more capable and promising (and friendlier) platforms elsewhere in the Fediverse that have integrated and fully support #masto_migration, and even ones that don’t (yet) haver that feature.
Unlike other dinosaurs and the eponymous mammal for which Eugen chose the namesake of his #TootSuite product, we shouldn’t expect extinction for his platform, but the apathy and indifference levels are rising, as is the enmity in many sectors of the community for what others perceive as a betrayal (or sellout), and that kind of self-inflicted damage is often difficult to mitigate, with waves of disenchantment reverberating get into the future… Just look at what happened to #SourceForge - it still technically exists, but never recovered after the community betrayal it committed years ago.
And finally, there’s a irony so obvious that’s it’s not even plausible to deny… Eugen subverted the very rudimentary principal that the Fediverse network is ideologically predicated upon - #DeSoc… There’s no question that his goals shifted to that if building a silo for himself, at least to some great degree. Very sad.
An interesting thing about condescending others, you find yourself alone and isolated in an otherwise vibrant, busy world.

I think, for me, much like EDLIN, it's pretty much always been a matter of knowing that it was the default editor available in every incarnation of #UNIX and #Linux since, ... I dunno, ... 4.2BSD or so?
Perhaps I should say vi, and in DOS I don't really recall when EDIT.COM supplanted #EDLIN, but do feel free to checkout my friend's more modern #FREDLIN in the link above. h/t to @dheadshot for creating a POSIX interpretation of that classic utility from the days when disk drives talked to you and diskettes shimmied...

RE: mastodon.social/users/nixCraft/statuses/112112461370380508 -
Have you ever received an HTTP 418 status code while browsing? If so, it may be because you were trying to put a square peg in a round hole, or vice versa.
Indeed, RFC 2324 Lays out the specification, and Oopsies! It turns out that an April Fools joke was canonized, albeit with some utility. Turns out, even if someone's not trying to pull your leg, by telling you "I'm a Teapot", it's likely you're gently being encouraged to look for a resource other than the way in which you're asking.
For example, you ask for a coffeemaker and receive the error, HTTP 418 (I'm a Teapot). It's certainly nicer that a 404 and yet indicates that there is content where the page you've just asked for exists.
This is in some ways a concern that many have dug their heels in over, clinging as intransigent as ever when it comes to #tmpfs discussions beginning twelve years ago on the #Debian Dev list.
Often, in practice, cron is used to clean out unneeded clutter in
/tmpor/var/tmp, as well as other methods. An issue I have is with the systemd defaults including/var/tmpin tmpfs on some implementations because temporary files here are intended to be persistent across reboots.By default, systemd cleans out files in
/var/tmpby default after 30 days, and this can be problematic, while the default is 10 days for/tmp./var/runand/var/lockare also Incorporated - But I digress.After well over a decade, about half of the major Linux distros have migrated to tmpfs: Arch, Fedora, and some versions of SuSE number among the most familiar. Others have not: Redhat, SLES, and other "Enterprise" focused distros, along with Debian, ... Until just recently, when much to my surprise during routine updates I noticed the switch to tmpfs has now occurred.
w00t 🤘🤠🤘
With respect to Slackware, does it use the traditional disk based method or the RAM based tmpfs? The answer to that of course, is "Yes, of course, it absolutely does!"
"Which one did you say?" I actually didn't, lolz. As is usually the case with Slackware (and Arch and Gentoo), it's really however you want it!
In Slackware, the implementation is much more elegant however. You simply mount /tmp on a ramdisk (again, leave /var/tmp alone - these files are intended to be persistent across reboots, and for possibly much, much longer than a mere 30 days).
Okay so back to Debian. If you're one of those fraidy cats that doesn't believe, or rather, isn't competent or confident enough to run Enterprise production machines on rolling distros, I've got good news for you! You won't be needing to concern yourself with this until Debian 13 is officially released or you're forced to upgrade to it in the next few years. Lucky you!
For the rest of us however, already running #Trixie, it has indeed arrived. Welcome! Here's the problems...
You may, depending on what daemons you run in production, want to tweak your defaults. i.e., 10 days may be less than appropriate for your company's needs. Remember, #cron is your friend. It's also why Slackware's approach was referred to as elegant, because you have to take into account what it is you want or need before you implement it.
For example, since you already know that you don't want temp files to survive reboots in /tmp, there's really nothing faster than disk space residing in RAM anyway.
On the other hand, Poettering doesn't make up the rules for the developers of this world or sysadmins. If you're not careful you can wind up right back on a spinning disk platter again, since the default for #systemd is to allocate 50‰ of your RAM for tmpfs, if you don't have ample memory, you go to SWAP.
Oh, the irony :p
When you're in an HA environment where your UNIX boxes have uptimes exceeding 800+ days, and the only reason to reboot is to install a new kernel, Poettering's 30 day default storage for tempfiles in
/var/tmp, or for that matter, a default for files in/var/lockor/var/run, ... is absolutely absurd - this is why we have cron and shell scripts (and Perl/Python).tl;dr: This is why I started of with that amusing simile about HTTP 418, because if you just trust systemd to hold your hand, you just may find that one of your mission critical Enterprise services informs you that it's been told it's a #Teapot 🫖
That's not a good thing when 5, 500, or 50,000 people expect their shit to just work without ever having to know your name as the person who makes that happen for them.
Disk based storage is the safe bet; that's why #Redhat still does it that way. But it's certainly not the most performant, and requires the steady fingers of a competent systems administrator for the care and feeding of the tmp file systems - otherwise, like so many n00bs have discovered (in the days when hard drives didn't exceed a Gigabyte in capacity), you may wake up one day to find that you've hammered your filesystem, everything is running, but nothing is doing anything it's supposed to be doing - now,
rmandduhave become your best friends until the moment you discover that rotating your log files and keeping /tmp clean is actually part of your job...Even as a casual workstation user on your personal laptop. It's your job.
For those interested, here's an example of the systemd defaults for tmps should you wisely consider the beneficial consequences of responsible planning for managing the size of your growing tempfile directories, from the Arch Wiki:
/etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf # see tmpfiles.d(5) # always enable /tmp directory cleaning D! /tmp 1777 root root 0 # remove files in /var/tmp older than 10 days D /var/tmp 1777 root root 10d # namespace mountpoints (PrivateTmp=yes) are excluded from removal x /tmp/systemd-private-* x /var/tmp/systemd-private-* X /tmp/systemd-private-*/tmp X /var/tmp/systemd-private-*/tmpUmm... 10 days,
/var/tmp? IMNSHO, that's maybe just a tad (way more than a tad) aggressive.Although I've so far only alluded to it, I actually do recommend that you consider removing
/var/tmpfrom any cleanup schedule too, instead using cron and shell scripts, along with a little proactive monitoring to keep that part of your tempfile systems clean.And remember: "You may be short, and you may be stout, but unless it's April 1st, don't let anyone call you a Teapot." 🫖
For further reading you can checkout the [LWN article here] (https://lwn.net/Articles/975565/?ref=news.itsfoss.com).
As always, feel free to boost and share this with others (sharing is love), and I'm always interested in hearing your thoughts and suggestions in the comments.
I hope that helps. All the best!

## Two Dixie Cups and a piece of string
### Oh my goodness\!
Okay first of all, I use #Matrix and #Jabber - #XMPP w/ #OMEMO, primarily.
I typically don't even regularly give out my email address nowadays, and more and more over the past four years or so, find myself publishing a #Fediverse address for myself too as a contact point.
Most often, if you ask me for my #email address I'll give you my Matrix address.
If someone wants to email me then I figure they can get that from my #PGP fingerprint or #Keyoxide.
If they don't know what a #keyserver is or where any of them are located then I just figure they're to dumb to use email.
Yes. As a technologist, I'm at times, rather arrogant, opinionated, discriminatory, and condescending... But only sometimes. The rest of the time I'm patient, attentive, empathetic, and accommodating.
Basically, if i know you don't know shit I'm a nice guy, yet if you pretend to be an all that jazz hipster know it all, then it's quite likely you'll find that I'm pretty much a full on dikhed. Spelled just like that too.
Beginning in the later eighties I think, and then the nineties they called us #BOFH. That's an acronym for someone who might already have forgotten more than you will ever know. I knew a few old Mainframe engineers with Honeywell and IBM when I was a young programmer - those guys were Gods and could tell you how many wraps of copper to make around a toroid if you had an emergency and needed to make an in the field replacement of your memory - Gods. #SuperFreakyGeeks, having already, back then, forgotten more than you or I will ever know.
They called me #Whizkid, coz I was learning shit that they were never gonna bother with - they're gonna retire soon in Mexico with boats, babes, and beers.
But I digress. I do that.
### Back to secure communications...
When it comes to Signal, I know a lot of you really like it. I have little use for it. It bleeds my DID and farms everyone's contact databases - "bing! Ex stalker bitch girlfriend just joined signal. Say hello!" What the fuck?
Well I guess she's still got me in her contacts lolz. Fuckin' bitch.
### Ummm... Yeah I'll pass.
I actually only use Signal with people who already have my #DID (phone number) anyway.
Recently, a colleague flew a cray cray route to Thailand, via #LAX to #NYC, then #Qatar. Signal works on jetliner's #WiFi too, and isn't dependant on cellular services.
Good choice, but I'm still wondering why his "safety number" changed after he departed #New_York and before arriving in #Thailand - he neither reinstalled nor switched to a new device. But that's another matter.
Sounds a little cloak & dagger fishy to me.
Anyway, I hadn't actually used #Signal in a while, and left it muted for a few months.
To my surprise... #Stories! Yay! Stories!
Wait, what are Stories? You mean like #YouTube or #InstaSPAM? And I'm assuming like they have in #Whaaaasup (never used it, never will)?
Ummm... I just tucked that little nugget of, I guess, good news away, not really knowing even how to process news of the introduction of such a useless fucking feature.
Until now.
Without further adieu, I defer to @how , one of our more prominently distinguished members in the Fediverse community, for his novel, clever, and appropriate recommendation:

Yes it's pretty much that simple. Thanks for chiming in 🙂
The legal rep they had (and office which is now closed) was directly threatened by the judge and if I'm not mistaken, has herself left her own country for her personal safety.
So yes indeed, "X" has left the country - literally packed up and left, bye bye. But here's where the show begins to get really entertaining...
#Moraes has himself just crossed the line of what is a completely foreign concept to Americans, as only the legislature is empowered with creating law under our constitution. The courts, interpret law. Sure, there's executive orders but those are NOT laws, not are they ratified treaties. That is the domain of Congress and not the president. And with respect to our judiciary, legislating from the bench is strictly taboo.
Not so in #Brazil, apparently, where this corrupt (Supreme Court) judge has effectively usurped their own lawmaking bodies and is creating law.
I am so loving this! 🤘💀🤘

Where are these discussions taking place?
And what's wrong with email? I suppose using #ETH addresses for login, or #RetroShare, something like that might work, but you're still tied to DNS otherwise if that is the big beef with email... Just speculating though, which is why I asked.
If #DNS isn't the offender, then perhaps the simplest would be #Keyoxide, #Matrix, #Fediverse address or #XMPP account verification?

That's why they're called agreements. If either one or both parties don't agree, then they shouldn't sign - because they don't agree.

Yes source based distro's have been around since the very beginning - in fact, MCC Interim Linux and #SLS weren't far from that mark, except that they merely tried to make it a bit more convenient by packaging up tarballs to be exploded during installation. And there's always #LFS.
If you think about Slackpkg - and you consider that you can actually re-install the entire system by compiling every single component of the default (full) install with the evocation of a single command, followed by the customization of your entire system by installing every kind of software imaginable through the use of #sbopkg or some other automated, dependency resolving package manager that uses #SlackBuilds (which are downloaded, then exectuted, and subsequently download the latest release of he software package desired, which is in turn compiled, packaged, and exploded) - you actually have a fully source based distro installed on your box.
That's right - Slackware is (can be forced to be) an entirely source based distro installed on your device.
And choosing to convert from a point release to Slackware -current switches you from a point release to a #Rolling_Release distro.
*Debian Testing, aka at this time, Trixie is a rolling release. #Arch_Linux is a rolling release, SourceMage and Lunar Linux are source based distros based on #Sorcerer_Linux, the original fully source based Linux distro released when Linux was only about 8yrs old in 2000, and the #Gentoo or #Funtoo source based Linux distros.
SystemD my ass. That has nothing to do with nothing in that conversation - it's completely non-sequitur and truth be told, most source based distros (Arch, Gentoo) support the type of init system that *YOU CHOOSE. For Debiantards such as myself, well..... There's #Devuan - and that's very refreshing to actually have control over your system again with true init scripts. But I rarely use Devuan, even though I've been associated with the initiative since its inception, after leaving the #Mageia team several years ago.
As I state in almost all of my profiles, I'm a Slacker, since 1993 (Slackware Linux), and I'm also a bit of a #Debiantard. On the BSD side, after leaving #Jolix (386BSD) for Slackware, I've pretty much settled on either #OpenBSD or #Dragonfly_BSD, w/the awesome #HAMMER2 FS. I still have a lot of love for #FreeBSD and of course #NetBSD - where I spend a lot of time in my proper #Korn Shell....
But what the heck does any of this have to do with a comparison of using Gentoo Linux being akin to using SystemD?
I don't like SystemD - but if you're a realist, that doesn't mean you forgo using distros that only have that init tooling. You just roll with the punches and keep following the innovations that support you - NO ONE STILL RUNS WINDOWS XP in production - at least, no one outside of state mental hospitals, that's just insane to do in a forward facing business environment.
But a lot of companies do leverage OpenRC, SysVinit, etc., instead of SystemD - that's not going away, and SystemD itself and Poetering have their own up and coming challengers.
SystemD is (supposed to be, originally) a way to boot your box. Yes, it's indeed encroached upon other landscapes since, but not all of those constructs are even considered by many mainstream distros - it's not a fact of life. Other init systems thrive in the UNIX world to this day and will continue to do so.
Likewise, Source based Linux distros are just one among many distros that exist, and may or may not leverage SystemD as their init systems - to really get a good grasp of this, I recommend doing a few Arch Linux installs - with and without SystemD as the base init system. Heck, even Debian still supports your regular, good old #syslog, and at every turn during your updates, reminds you how to keep it enabled since the whole journalctl crap just isn't as elegant, IMO.
Personally, I think more concurrent options are usually better - space is cheap. Storage no longer costs a dollar a meg. or worse, like it was when I was a kid, a few thousand dollars a meg. That's right... MegaByte - Not TB for penny's!
Okay so now I'm waiting to hear back from the OP and see just what the heck they meant when I got triggered. In the meantime....
Enjoy installing and using #Sorcerer_Linux, or the subesquent forks of it's surviving lineage like #SourceMage and #Lunar_Linux - you're now a part of mainstream source-basedLinux History once you do 🤘 💀 🤘

@ademalsasa @clay On windows, some folks liked Prism, because it had good support for multistreaming, while support was spotty in OBS due to deps for installing multi-streaming plugins depending on your compile - big issue with Arch due to all of the various custom packaging options available, not so much with Debian -testing or custom .deb repos.
But now that OBS has officially moved away from distro packages by issuing (or at least adding) officiall releases in three form of a flatpak, most of those matters have been mitigated.
One of these few instances where flatpaks are actually the way to go and maintain a current release for a software offering, IMO.
It doesn't sound like that really has much bearing on your use case, since you're mostly concerned with just recording (and not live streaming), but either way, yes, OBS is da bom!
I'm glad you've found editing software you like, that's often a much more daunting challenge due to workflow style, features needed, aged a whole shitload of mostly preferential decisions one must make that can take some people weeks or months until they can actually determine which (FOSS) offering they end up preferring - there are so many options with different ways they operate, lolz, that some people actually die from decision anxiety 🤘🤡🤘

After lying in wait until now as yet another, self-defederated, #deprecated, #legacy #monolithic silo based on mastodon - an identical model to #GAB and #Truth_Social... #Counter_Social has finally stepped from the shadows to challenge #Twatter on it's own turf - to what end? Another big #silo?
Joining big #Fediverse servers does little to alleviate the #twittermigration and #twitugee problems.

Only 13 Thousand stars in the twelve hours since it was open sourced? lolz...
Oh, and a big congrats on another incrementally successful launch of #Starship a couple of days ago too!
More often than not, he's ahead of the curve, and the world loves a #Maverick that leverages their free market industrialist prowess toward #philanthropic ends.
Now if we can just convince him to ditch all that electric car bullshit (as good as he does it) that are piling up in backlogs at our ports because there's no more room on the car lots coz nobody wants them, and people are enslaved, working in the mines that produce the rare earth components of those poison batteries that run on the #coal and #petroleum that would be better utilized just to produce the electricity that we already consume.
Not to mention the ecological hazard those batteries pose, if they don't explode and incinerate the occupants of electric vehicles first; at least there's virtually no place to charge those vehicles, often stranded and scattered about like tombstones in a graveyard in the snow. - the grid couldn't take the load even if the government had managed (but failed miserably) to install all the #vaporware that they said would be charging stations everywhere anyway. And the only half-way decent charging stations out there are #Elon's anyway, and won't charge the legions of #EVs by other manufacturers that are just sitting, collecting dust, on the showroom floor.
Nevermind that #CNG is a cheap, clean way to power vehicles today, #Hydrogen is on its way, but research funding is attenuated by the lobbying efforts of special interest groups that instead promote the toxic and unsustainable electric vehicle industry.
Anyway, had Elon been alone in his quest to deliver quality EVs, I think the difference he would have made in that sector could have grown organically for those who aren't concerned about the death and suffering of those who mine the resources necessary to produce those undercarriage bombs that power those vehicles. But I digress, and this boost is about all the magnanimous contributions that #Musk has shared like #The_Boring_Company, #SpaceX, #Neuralink, ... Yeah, even #Tesla ;)
