CNN -- you okay? You spelled #Epstein incorrectly.

The alternatives like many substacks, or singular control over social media by people like Mu$k or Zucker, then there's a lot of potential.

TLDR; you needn't necessarily lose access to friends and content with more servers, but people, and you, and friends, can find safety online.

The Last Days Of Social Media | NOEMA Social media promised connection, but it has delivered exhaustion.

One article that may interest you if you go down the path of understanding is this from Noem Magazine and it touches upon current challenges and how decentralization empowers at the end.

It has taken me a few years to get up to speed, but when you look at ...

small people (black, white, all races) in a global technology power struggle to have some power of the content we see, and the people we choose to engage with; without necessarily siloing each other. Albeit actually empowering tools to ban engagement on a granular level.

Rather than argue with you about race, I want to point out it's not isolation and that the appearance of other servers and other forms of moderation, search, display of social media feeds is not either. It's part of a technology that's enables decentralization and empowering "us" the ...

View along the nave of St. Wendreda’s Church, March, showing the magnificent medieval angel roof with carved wooden angels soaring above the slender stone arcades.

🚴John Betjeman said that it was worth cycling 40 miles in a headwind to see them.

I love "Wise" for international money transfers. My favorite thing about it maybe is that ~4 years ago they tried a brand name change from #Transferwise to just #Wise, but as a result it's brand emails mostly arrive in my inbox as "Wise (formerly Transferwise)" and so that's mostly how I know it!

Honestly, I wouldn't be as reductive to sports as comparing it to MAGA or the failings of the US constitution at this point. I also wouldn't give the democratic leadership a bye (to stretch a metaphor) either.

New from 404 Media: Apple just removed ICEBlock, the app for reporting sightings of ICE, from its App Store after DOJ pressure. ICEBlock's developer tells me "we are determined to fight this."

"Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move."

Pope Leo, "Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhumane treatment of immigrants, they're not pro life"

For those who don’t seem to quite get it yet.

The amount of rehabilitation the US armed forces, intelligence agencies, and law enforcement will need after this administration is going to be unreal... (impossible?) #USPol

Every media outlet and talking head that ever published a puff piece which normalized the abhorrent Stephen Miller can go to hell

Okay, a little triggering... but worth the watch to the end. #NoAI

Also, I’m not arguing about the US or Russia! Why would I when I’m asking you to raise your bar wrt Germany ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bro drops one map about the AfD and comes out swinging about “being high on supply”. You can both be right and going about your assertions in the wrong way. Received wisdom is the light-blue is spreading eastwards. Your map shows nothing.

oh cool, nothing to worry about there then...

the map shows a snapshot... it's nothing more than a social media shortcut.

Maybe you've got something more interactive, you know, showing the last 30 years? That might then show the "success" or not to which you speak.

I'm still waiting for proof anyone was in the room tbh...

#DigiPres question. Anyone know of any API for Dummies resources? Basically a beginners guide for someone who thinks they might be useful but has zero experience?

Maybe just to throw a random #digipres question out there: does anyone have online fora in their collections? I'm thinking early 2000s php-based forum. I think lots of different communities use/d these, but I guess I've yet to come across discussions of preserving them. Am I missing something?

Putting this question out across the various socials: where do people sit these days on the concept of "Significant Properties"? #digipres

I am loath to use the term but I have on occasion to communicate with those from older schools of thinking. Largely agree with what most here are saying.

I think there are technical characteristics of a file and there may be risks associated with some of those characteristics worth understanding and evaluating. Sigprop tends to be associated with migration so its one way that its different.
