Kinai == extinguish, as in putting out a fire

“As I think that totalitarian methods are already on the way to extinguish the last spark of manly independence—that is, in self-styled civilized countries—it seems to me that we all should regard with shrewd suspicion any plans for ‘perfecting’ social conditions”

@the5thColumnist @aulia that is the debate in a nutshell. Many of the fediverse people are inherently optimistic and empathetic people prepared to accept FB as having the best of intentions here, despite FB never having played nice with anyone ever.

@tanweerdar
Nor years nor age can diminish
Love or passion. The decades have
Rolled by, & we have changed past
Recognition by our younger selves
Who would not have expected this
To last that first night we fell
Into a ditch kissing, first on our
Way to yours, & then the way
To mine, where the next morning
Brought some kind of strange
Waking. It is later now, &
Further from then than either
Of our ages then. & still life
Has not managed to #extinguish
What we felt that first time.
Strange.

@tanweerdar
Neither love nor loss are stilled
By the passing years and youth,
Nor the edges of that memory
Extinguished when the light fades
At the end of one cycle beginning
The next, nor doors closing on the
Darkness and desolation of it.

The square room has no sense
Of dimension, and lives grow
Out of shape in the silence of
Our grieving, and the doors fade
Into the background white of
Senselessness rationality demands.

Always waiting.

extinguish even the
smallest speck of light
so the darkness can
envelope me like a warm,
weighty blanket, bringing
peace to my disquiet and
wrapping me in the
infinite unknown.

A constant battle
Fueling the fire while you work
to extinguish it

@tanweerdar
2/2
When it comes to the end of a world
There must be people who know it is the end and are right;
Those who know it and are wrong.
Those who do not see it coming are the best positioned,
Or the worst, maybe,
At the brow of the headland, looking out to the sunset,
While the mainland is demolished behind them
And the cudgel is raised.
The candle flickers at the fingers poised to snuff
And the slightly-too-near curtain just the same.

@fourstepper That is SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) for Microsoft, see #Embrace, #Extend, and #Extinguish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

well, somebody has to do it. is this really #clippy ? something is sus!

@vncntx At the beginning, nothing. Once #Meta/Facebook/Instagram’s #Project92 is the largest instance, they’ll start making “improvements” to the protocol. Other instances will have to implement them to federate. At that point, they’ll be running the show.

(If we let them. And by “we”, I mean the largest instances. mastodon.social and the other largest instances could nip this in the bud now if they wanted to. But I hear they’re out signing NDAs…)

#embrace #extend #extinguish

@PaulaToThePeople Let's not forget what #slack did to the #irc (there so many other cases). They were using open protocol and allowed bridging until enough people got on slack. Then they've just cut the bridge and the rest of the users were forced to jump over.A school case of #embrace #extend #extinguish tactics often adopted by big corpo when handling #libre projects. I don't think anything good comes out of federating with #meta unless #fediverse somehow outwits them.But why even bother? #eee

So, my take on this is that apparently #BigTech wants to kill #OpenStreetMap next
https://mastodon.social/@migurski/109518420893346872
I understand @migurski enthusiasm about it, as he can count it as a personal victory in this initial phase of the #Embrace, but we have not forgotten the #XMPP bait and switch. #Extend, #Extinguish are next, and we would rather NOT see #OSM get the #EEE treatment.

It’ll be funny to see #corporations joining the #Fediverse with the cry of “#embrace, #extend, and #extinguish”.

Happy Halloween Documents everyone!

And a special thanks goes out to Eric S. Raymond:

“It was in this meeting that Microsoft executives said they intended to “embrace, extend, extinguish” competing technologies, including Internet standard HTML…”
