Yeah I'm realizing the fediverse feels so homey because it seems dominated by people old enough to remember the internet of the 90s, the ones that knew AOL was not the entire internet or even 'web' proper. We're already acclimated to an internet where 'discoverability' took a little more elbow grease.

For Tesla, it's a bad time for the cult of personality to fall apart as more electric car competition comes out every year.

I don't trust Brave, there's too much money tied up in it for it to be good for users.

THere is indeed a third more insane human outside the intro/extrovert spectrum, the officevert. or something.

Hmmm seems ethically wrong but a social net good? ;)

I understand your sentiment but factually inaccurate is factually inaccurate and a disservice to the reader.

Oh no, you're infected. No cure.

i keep telling my iphone friends to dl signal, it's great.

Thank heaven for libraries <3

I always assume any Ring footage I see is just an Amazon plant anymore, too. They're evil as fuck. Now excuse me, my prime order's here.

Really inspiring she has the motivation to do this and that she still has faith in her community enough to try and make it better. Hope things go well for her.
