Unpopular opinion: I don't think your life has to have a purpose, or you a grand ambition; I think it's okay to just wander through life finding interesting things until you die

I'm unclear on why all the people running off the cliff think I would be worried about being left behind.

and as I read that statement
and as I reread that statement
I cannot shake the feeling
that the civilization
from which that statement comes
is one that is already dead.

Next month USPS introduces paid tracking access (paid per delivery/request) for 3rd party apps like Parcel.

What does it mean for you if you are tracking USPS deliveries in Parcel?

Two o'clock in the god damn eh emm in the terminal watching logfiles scroll up the screen in my terminal, study looked like a bad hackers film, people are not supposed to do this, I should've been asleep, all throughout the next day the sun was shining outside and I should've been doing human shit like making some kinda little structure out of mud for birds while wearing a couple of leaves and instead I'm indoors trying to stop anthropic and facebook and google from bringing down my website, we were put here to be the gardeners of the world but instead I'm trying to outwit nonsense machines made by nonsense people who also should be rolling naked in the fresh spring grass

Stop calling your fear “wisdom.”
Stop pretending Jesus was crucified

“The fact that it is always about individuals – even among the perpetrators – is underlined by Auschwitz survivor Rom Karl Stojka:
“And people did this, just like you, you and me. These people did not come from another planet. […] They were human beings, just like us. And it was not Hitler who arrested me, not Goering, not Goebbels.

More new features in https://arewedecentralizedyet.online/ because apparently this is what I do for fun now.

There's a 'details' flippy thing (or 'disclosure triangle', if you prefer to live a joyless existence) that lists the sites that are contributing the most towards decentralization - mostly, by growing, though it's possible for the largest sites to contribute by shrinking.

Also, we can have an in-browser viewer for the raw CSV data, as a treat
