    The orange potato strikes again!

    "Climate plan based on phasing out fossil fuels doomed to fail, says Tony Blair"
    theguardian.com/environment/20

    With that attitude it is indeed doomed...

    But fair enough, if I would be dead in about 15 years and wouldn't care about others, I would probably say the same thing.

    There might still be a shimmer of hope for a 22nd century with organized human life: the #trump administration seems to be continuing their #degrowth agenda, even against the warnings of leading economists.

    With the policies already showing significant effect on the American and world economy, this without a doubt is the most effective act of the degrowth movement up to date... and he just got started!

    @Walker @jerry pls take with a couple grains of salt, maybe there is something where everybody can be happy - ads get a bad rap because they can go too far #breadcrumb trail #goldilocks

    ok say i am running a mastodon instance focusing on info-sec and cyber security, i want to monetize via top10 lists and banner ads - a couple small banner ads and a link to maybe 10 top10 links. i need to sell product or consulting/pentests and am flexible - i want some importance placed on the instance but i also want to not forget about the generalized IT mkt. brainstorm for me the best top10 lists within the IT security mkt space and then also generate a fairly representative ad funnel - give me best 20 products and companies to monetize and link to and i will try to eek out 5-10 affiliate links out of that list. you can be rote and take time to think but generally i want the best products, mkt leaders, hardware and software plus it does not have to be about money - there could be some concentration or public service ads for awesome open source and even ai > add in a couple of free ads in every top 10 list generation or even more if they are top dogs in that mkt segment. the lists are subject to mods and tuning so just try to do best write up; include some long shots and outliers as you want mkt driven and targeted ads but you also want to foster and curate the community ip
