Descended from Unix freaks, I evolved to Linux. Some people might consider me old at 60+, but I'm suing the world to get my age down to 30.
I have a blog https://ontario-geofish.blogspot.com/
and it is read by 8 people. My formal education is in an extinct branch of science called geophysics. Since there was no money in it, I went to engineering. I've done tunnels, radwaste thingies, etc.

@strypey @atomicpoet Ok, so here are bursts of short philosophy. I tend to view things on a long scale. Mastodon is a bunch of code, and not a Principle. Open source was a principle, and benefited the world. FB and bird made the world worse. We need a principle, such as "Freedom to Read". That would be fighting city states with Reformation coffee houses, which relied on smuggled papers, and lots of caffeine.
@strypey @atomicpoet So, it is warring city states. I'll have to think on this.
@trinsec @freemo @DecaturNature @frayoshi Geez, will you not mention that N word?
@RachelWorthington Yeah, totally ordinary. Welcome to the club, but we need the rich and famous to fund this. :)
@monotrox99 KDE is buggy as heck. I had to put Zoneminder on a separate machine because they both use mariadb. :(
@freemo @kathygriffin I know my buddy Ryan (I'm Canadian, he's from here, good enough), would love to come here, give big money and send me a case of his gin.
@freemo @kathygriffin Neat, the big stars should donate. Their would be a lot of exposure for her to denounce Elon and come here.
@atomicpoet All these open source projects are like herding cats. You need a loud obnoxious guy at the top, yelling at everybody. Then he has to be paid, and play Eliz 1st, by pitting IBM against Google. Thus, the day can be won.
@atomicpoet Great, I think roaming identities could solve the problem of instance isolation. They could fill the role of tinkers and traders with the old feudal towns.
@trinsec @thesecretsarah I know, but all cats look the same to me...
@thesecretsarah @trinsec I guess you should encrypt that....
@atomicpoet Ok, I'm not getting a clear answer on this. Could a groupthink institution like NASA or The Guardian set up a paid subscription instance, and block everything in and out? That would be a great way for people to make money, and you wouldn't have to worry about Google taking over everything. :)

It's really a question of 'Who cares?' This article pumps up disaster.

The Nvidia card can fit in a large suitcase. And we wonder why Google Stadia failed, this is a true Man P*ssing Contest. 😍
All MS security fails

And we wonder why we see so many ransomware attacks. 😅
