I’m one of the last people to side with Elon Muck, but even then, with the video I’m not inclined to call it a full Nazi salute [00:13:17] Not saying that may not have been the intention [00:13:47] yeah [00:13:50] but like [00:13:57] what else would he be doing [00:14:06] It’s still a remarkable lack of situational awareness lmao [00:14:15] hailing a taxi [00:14:42] Possibly some combination of the semi standard salute from forehead pushed outwards and the my heart goes out to y’all thing? [00:15:02] Does fit the context as i understand [00:15:37] idk about that [00:16:40] theres way better ways to show "Heart goes out to y’all thing" i think [00:17:52] Like hell I’m arguing against that [00:18:36] yeah [00:19:29] He’s still a horrible person, a joke, and a laundry list I don’t want to get into of other things [00:19:50] But in this specific case, I’m objecting to the common interpretation [00:21:04] The real reason NSM celebrated trump winning [00:24:02] Do I wanna know who NSM is [00:24:41] National Socialist movement [03:50:34] Nice to see the new apple iOS being so front and forward about saying these apps track your data in these ways [03:50:56] I’m starting to think I underestimated Apple [03:51:21] Tim Cook reaffirming their commitment to DEI is also a W [05:25:57] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1331495046641614930/IMG_6474.png?ex=6791d2e5&is=67908165&hm=c6db5d15bc4b066900c8e16e8e8d237d36931ba6e21bb0f57c4ac9bc3bf2b161& [05:26:14] so all female bathrooms are now gender neutral is what I’m getting from this [06:40:04] omg [06:40:37] the Queer Liberation has happend ✊ :flag_progressiveprideintersex: [06:59:58] after actually reading this, this shit sounds like hate speech [07:00:22] like stuff you'd find on the NSM website [07:01:24] It seems to be [07:04:09] it’s the statement they made like yesterday [07:04:23] and by they I mean the white house [07:04:35] > [22/01/2025 16:26] so all female bathrooms are now gender neutral is what I’m getting from this [07:04:37] LMAO [07:04:42] oh my god i also forgot about that- [08:00:17] [1/2] > this shit sounds like hate speech [08:00:17] [2/2] lots of dog whistles and openly anti-trans speech in trump's thing, yeah [08:01:27] they forgot about intersex folx [08:03:08] 😬 [08:03:27] somewhat related: agender folx when they see the all gender restroom (they don't have a gender, so they can't enter) [08:03:51] the doors are locked u need a gender to unlock [08:04:00] /j [08:05:02] can a gendered person open the door for the agender creature?

[11:34:28] I am [11:34:48] What type of music are you into? [11:36:16] I have discovered a band called The Velveteers. I think theyre great [11:36:19] https://youtu.be/gl7VWsrjEo8?feature=shared [12:19:04] [1/3] I have a broad love for music. [12:19:05] [2/3] Pink Floyd, 80's rock, Brazilian, Italian, French chansons, Dutch Rock, Classical music (Beethoven/Strauss), Folk music from many countries. [12:19:05] [3/3] I do mostly play 80's rock though. [12:19:56] I can't watch the video though here in Denmark (GeoBlocked) [12:20:47] ah that sucks, Its a great song. let me see if theres another way [12:20:51] https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6YTIsS8UJSvz1TLudBp1Ed [12:21:26] The Good Mad is a great band. Should try that [12:21:46] Can you see this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5e0sRNvJeE [12:27:56] Yeah. No that is to sinister for my taste [12:28:05] 🙂 [12:28:23] I'm mostly into good vibes music [13:01:41] Whatever Cosmo Sheldrake makes [13:31:24] brain hammering gabber shit is what keeps me afloat these days [13:36:24] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPX3Se4dlIs [13:54:18] [1/3] Bruh no bloody wonder this set isn't available anywhere [13:54:18] [2/3] People are scalping it >:( [13:54:19] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1331622977116045342/Screenshot_20250122_135317_Vinted.png?ex=67924a0a&is=6790f88a&hm=a5f994b2cfcf95789cc8b338c794a4277a7665845786846e07c457710f8f2527& [13:55:22] Yesterday was a pog night in NH though, it was constant shooting stars [13:56:25] classics, but plenty of harder shit out there [13:57:41] https://youtube.com/watch?v=SoSEYXDE6q0 [14:01:29] and Technohead originally started w/ post industrial stuff in late 80s and flowed into house and then gabber, all under different names [14:16:43] @rhinosf1 you around? [14:17:45] Okay, that gave me a nosebleed!! 😄 [14:19:00] some critics were calling it "nosebleed techno" hence why they picked that name lol [14:34:24] <.guardianx.> [1/3] BlankEclair, figured I'd move that marketing rant I was doing out of support lol: [14:34:24] <.guardianx.> [2/3] we had a ice cream place open up in my city and "FOR MARKETING" i'm sure... the owner decided to buy a tesla truck and wrap it with their shops marketing. Their initial "sell" was that it's a "mom and Pop shop" or a "Small Business Owner". [14:34:24] <.guardianx.> [3/3] That was the last time I shopped there >< [14:34:59] <.guardianx.> enough money and too little sense to spend a ton buying then wrapping a tesla truck.... [14:36:08] <.guardianx.> that and I watched them walk a cart filled with "Premium" ice cream from the walmart their store shares a parking lot with into their store, to repackage for 20 dollars a shake...

Same with variations that appear down the road. Partially it's just the big platform problem but I think the medium itself is fundamentally bad regardless if it's bluesky, twitter or mastadon for that matter [15:25:21] Unfortunately the brain dead people who out number the sensible will still use X so I doubt there will be much impact. [15:25:57] bad in terms of the infestation they attract, I am tolerant when it comes to people necessarily needing to reach an audience [15:26:13] Twitter was toxic, but Musk slimming down the moderation teams has made it worse [15:26:22] I would prefer but have little hope for a resurrection in decentralized forums as a preference instead [15:26:50] elon really went and buggered it, I don't contest that at all [15:27:09] <.guardianx., replying to originalauthority> Ehh, what about people that just don't care. I'm fast approaching that in all fronts. I don't use twitter and I think a "Migration" of any kind to another platform will just make that new platform like the old one they left. [15:27:39] ^ definitely see that [15:28:08] though I'd like twitter to die essentially out of spite at this point regardless how the void fills as long as it's not with threads [15:28:10] Depends if that platform will be bought by a Big Tech to make it it's new toy or personal platform. [15:28:38] my loathing for meta properties exceeds my loathing for twitter [15:28:52] Same with Trumps Truth Social. May it die quickly too [15:29:06] that one is condemmed to obscurity I think [15:29:19] it could only ever attract, contain really, a certain type of people [15:30:12] it's the ones that become so big they warp the internet around them that I have particular feelings for, because 'just ignore them' only goes so far or results in omission of basic interactions when for example, I'm hell bent not following with twitter but maybe there is something useful to read there [15:30:27] the top offenders for that in my book being google and facebook [15:30:29] I need to go through my bookmarks and save some valuable magazine scans/shares from some accounts, ans then it good to die [15:31:36] <.guardianx., replying to raidarr> [1/3] I'm trying to understand Musk, its so strange to me. 100% the guy is autistic, but generally, the changes he put on the plate for twitter in the early buy stages were interesting in concept, an open platform free for people to interact and share on. [15:31:36] <.guardianx., replying to raidarr> [2/3] Has he delivered that? LOL no... [15:31:36] <.guardianx., replying to raidarr> [3/3] But the concept was interesting enough. [15:31:59] and for the record I also treat discord as a tolerated evil that has warped, in places destroyed independent gaming communities by taking them from publicly accessible places and stuffing them into incredibly fragile discord boxes [15:32:11] miraheze at least has a public archive [15:32:35] not just gaming of course [15:33:10] <.guardianx.> [1/2] I really don't think it's possible to have an 100% open internet without someone tryign to control something. [15:33:11] <.guardianx.> [2/2] Just on the basis of local "Legality" alone. [15:33:50] fragile with respect that I could irreperably destroy this server in ten minutes or less either because I had a bad day or clicked a stupid link encouraged by discord doing a poor job with its patterns that make common scams plausible [15:33:51] <.guardianx.> then you add in politics...and personal interest... [15:33:56] speaking completely hypothetically of course [15:34:58] <.guardianx., replying to raidarr> LOL, that is primarially why one of the first things I looked up is how to fully backup my information from Mira, no offence. [15:35:41] [1/2] could an angry random forum owner kill the forum, of course; yet it is easier to archive often with decent collections on the internet archive, generally has less sophisticated fingerprinting and related tech and is less valuable to suck you dry with, is easier to abandon in favor of something else, and does not have a multitude of monopoly-related weaknesses (I do acknowledge that c [15:35:41] [2/2] entralized platforms have benefits over this model in some cases) [15:36:15] infinitely easier to deal with a megalomaniac discord server owner that wants your ip address and to run bad scripts than it is the equivalent on a forum, so the broader web has a sharper edge [15:36:48] mediawiki is one of the most preservable and portable formulas on the internet and I think that's why I like it so much [15:37:38] <.guardianx.> kinda on topic kinda off, but I never understood why parsec needed you to create an acocunt with them in order to have a "High Speed desktop connection" [15:37:41] every wiki operator that likes their wiki I encourage in full honesty to back up their stuff every so often. Not because of miraheze stability or because it could go rogue or whatever. Just on principle that shit happens [15:38:01] people want accounts because accounts are the best way to profile and also a path of least resistance in other ways [15:38:44] <.guardianx.> I dunno what NoMachine takes but I've been using that for a while since I fell out of enjoyment with parsec [15:39:26] it's getting dangerously harder to host anything entirely independently tbh [15:40:56] [1/2] either you go with something big because it has a buffer against ddos and other nastiness, or you are kinda independent but you're cloudflare's B or something along those lines that gives you that buffer, or you're in constant worry that a casual botnet of shitty iot devices is going to smash you in the ground because you're just someone who wants to provide something nice that doesn [15:40:57] [2/2] 't have built in backdoors like CF but you're not a giga corporation that can absorb every port being rammed at light speed [15:41:46] and this is not to go out after miraheze use of cloudflare, as far as I can tell it's been our only reasonable option [15:43:13] but it's a shame we are depending on their benevolence because that ends sooner or later and anyone who's been in that spot where they decide they want money knows that from experience [15:44:07] another one is google being essentially the best option for miraheze email service but you know, it's google. At least it's business grade which skips most of the crap of consumer gmail [15:58:23] Sent [15:58:36] Didn’t include presenter notes, need to rehearse it too [16:09:37] When you presenting? [16:14:13] [1/2] Photo of my car [16:14:13] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1331658187308404848/image0.jpg?ex=67926ad4&is=67911954&hm=3adc868620b57d2dc008cd78f933484c504c6ce4d54d5373ddf57a50f9d8f9e4& [16:15:16] pretty car [16:16:35] seats look bumpy [16:16:38] but the cat seems pleased [16:34:36] Is it a transformer? [16:34:41] Optimus Purr? [16:53:09] I love the aerodynamic gullies. [16:59:53] That’s actually because it’s an ottoman on its side lol. [17:00:11] She kept trying to climb into the fireplace, so we had to block it with the ottoman [17:03:13] I mean (and it is entirely possible that I’m biased) [17:03:34] I think mastodon will at least have these issues to a lesser extent because of the decentralized factor [17:06:01] [1/2] Mastadon is indeed decentralised, and that will hamper it. [17:06:02] [2/2] If you follow several topics, you need to attach to each of them. And switching is hell for noobs. [17:06:16] that is fair [17:06:34] I think the problem is really that the AP protocol needs a bit more ironing out [17:10:39] I also think that your results differ greatly depending on the more things federated to your instance [17:11:33] also if you can find someone (or a few people) that are into the same stuff as you you can just follow them and they’ll do the heavy lifting of boosting stuff into your feed [17:11:47] there are ups and downs to it, an up being its state allowing for quiet 'uncorrupted' communities to do what they want, and a down being inherent to its nature of not lending itself to scale like a properly presented centralized platform. So it will forever linger in obscurity unless something big changes [17:12:13] true [17:12:18] obscurity in most cases, as it's already significant in some places [17:12:28] but I think the obscurity is good in most cases [17:12:29] but those places are notably more obscure/technical [17:12:36] I do think obscurity can be extremely good [17:12:47] as long as it's not so far detached as to be unrealistic [17:35:56] [1/2] But isn't that the same with Reddit though? Unless you actively visit another subreddit community, you only receive notifications of said subreddit. [17:35:57] [2/2] Like I am subscribed to Formula1 and Miraheze [17:36:20] At least you don't have to switch accounts [17:36:24] reddit's another one I vehemently dislike [17:36:34] but convenience trumps the little things I fuss about [17:37:06] I put it a few inches below twitter on most counts but you can indeed find every breed of community there just as you can on discord [17:37:31] Exactly. [17:37:47] I have 5 servers on Discord [17:38:43] [1/5] Miraheze [17:38:43] [2/5] Miraheze Volunteer Planning [17:38:43] [3/5] Miraheze Community Roles [17:38:43] [4/5] MediaWiki [17:38:44] [5/5] WikimediaCommunity [17:39:05] -> That's more than enough I think [17:39:52] my discord presence is core things like this, communities of interest to observe, and communities I join in the course of review [17:40:07] most of which isn't possible without sipping the discord kool aid to some degree [17:40:25] I do refuse servers that require external attachments like double counter [17:40:28] discord itself is enough [17:41:04] the servers with it I stick around in are ones where it's not properly configured or I end up bypassing [17:41:45] reviewing roblox servers usually isn't viable for me when they put stuff behind roblox account walls [17:42:16]
