berlin takeaways are fully sloppified, enjoy some of the horrors 💀

nooooo my emotional support russian bot farm

got to meet BOTH the lovely @superrr and @info_activism teams today, it was a good day 😍 thanks for listening to me babble!

why does every single photo of sam altman look like he's saying "i can explain..." after his husband finds someone else's underwear in his bed

so much of the loudest tech debate seems to be between one group insisting "this changes nothing" and another "this changes everything". what if i told you there was a secret third thing,

oh yeah im in #berlin for a month let me know of anything i should do or if you are also here and wanna hang!

I started reading _Constutionalising Anarchy_ and I really love this concept of "democratic deficit":

> Neoliberalism, and the privatisation and commodification of life, the suppression of labour, and environmental degradation, become ‘locked in’ by the institutionalisation of global governance and its attendant democratic deficit, making the contestation of property regimes, for example, Indigenous land rights, and the articulation of localised communal interests more challenging, if not impossible

Feels like a really valuable term that describes so much of what is going on at the moment - people get a say in basically nothing that happens in the public realm

digital sovereignty conversations seem to have stalled out at "what we carry on as we have been, but without american corporations?"

what if instead #digitalsovereignty was about building the world we want to live in?

got civil partnered! given i had zero civil partners yesterday morning, according to my projections by this time next year i should have over 300

easier to imagine the end of the world than never having a poorly tummy

annual sex life review called "sluttify: fapped" send tweet

your regular reminder a website is a decentralised technology already

🙃

it's a four pack of AirTags and confirmed lost in transit, lmao

prices have been "updated" huh? updated in which direction?

"keynote speech" because the speaker does a bump of ket before starting

i feel like one of the worst things about capitalism and "careers" and being neurodivergent is that a lot of the time we start it because of a special interest, but by the time you're established and positioned in the field, you've literally lost interest

maybe its good for work to just be work and not be so all consuming but honestly im so ready to move on from working in tech just as things are starting to work out operationally a bit 😅

there's a particular streak in leftist organising in particular where people seem to think that their cause is so worthy, their idea so good and self evident, them so clearly the right person to deliver it, that everyone around them should drop everything to immediately help them

i am begging people to stop this and get serious about either paying people, offering other in-kind support, or just joining and being part of communities you admire for a bit first before demanding other peoples free labour

it is wild to me how strangers will email asking for free labour from a disabled trans woman without even suggesting what could be in it for me lol

like can you at least join our email list or discord first or maybe start a monthly sub?

everyone wants the benefits of community rn but so few people want to contribute. i would say i get about an email a fortnight like this.

facebook is now charging to post links lmao

> If you're seeing a limit on posts with links on your Page, here's how it works: you can include links in up to 2 organic posts or comments per month. With a Meta One Advanced, Expert or Max plan, the limit increases.

its funny to me because i think at this point putting a 20 quid ad on an event or something "just to see" at some point in your life is a canonical event and then you realise its crap and never do it again

if their paid services simply did what they're supposed to they wouldn't have to do this kinda nonsense

please can all this trash fire burn down asap
