I think a concern for the business is whether other people can help maintain the system. As such don’t go too custom and roll your own. Take things like nextcloud and see if you can fit the requirements by bolting on a few docker services. Keep it simple by using “appliances” where it makes sense (dedicated NAS?).

Who needs IP laws when you have EULAs that bar competition? Certainly not corporations with their armies of lawyers.

Stop confusing young autistic vulnerable people.

I’m old and autistic and not confused by the fact trans women are women. Hope that helps.

After 2 weeks I think they would say something if they had something, and even then…

Harder? Being queer and unhoused can be pretty damn bad in the states. In China your boss might discriminate but you don’t have to worry about being homeless.

But those are for hire. Unlike American Democracy, the CCP can’t be bought.

Yeah, I got questions about Tienanmen, but not the same ones. Like was the CIA involved in the counter protest outside the school campus?

I think the fediverse is friendly enough. Instead of competing with corporations with streamlined experiences, develop power user tools that actually improve the content on the platform. Like I do want a powerful fediverse search tool, but it doesn’t need to be built into every server.

Hell, I remember during Trump’s term they basically waxed a protestor as he was going to work. My guess is McDonald’s didn’t want the bad press of a shooting on their property.

Great read, seems relevant given Mexico’s own drive to bring back domestic tortillas.

Isn’t that just what we say when we imprison people?

There’s a difference between being annoying online and being hated because you think Scrooge McDuck wasn’t greedy enough. No one is going to ice you for having bad tales on the Internet.

And? Those bullets had the CEO’s favorite words: Deny, defend, depose. We’re living the CEO’s example by not giving a fuck.

Desperation doesn’t make their anger directionless. What you’re hearing along with that desperation is resolve.

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.
