considering Elon is killing twitter, I don’t think that’s a viable option. Every assemble…to Mastodon and our savior of decentralized social media!

Examine TikTok’s U.S. facilities, records, equipment and servers with minimal or no notice,

not related. But this kind of reminds me of https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2257 specifically:

© Any person to whom subsection (a) applies shall maintain the records required by this section at his business premises, or at such other place as the Attorney General may by regulation prescribe and shall make such records available to the Attorney General for inspection at all reasonable times.

So, at least it’s nothing new. there’s precedence for it in existing law.

Tweetdeck has been dying a slow death since they killed the Android app back in 2013 (RIP. Still miss you buddy!)

how is it not renewable? If we build modern nuclear plants those plants can use the spent nuclear fuel that is just…currently sitting around in piles of storage. Sounds like the ultimate win to me!

How do dictators come to power? Spoiler: it’s not by winning elections. (well okay that’s not entirely true since Trump won)

Edit: Damn look at all the bigots

Either that, or with a freaking war going on, I suspect the police are occupied with much more important matters (like public safety and whatnot)

It’ll probably never happen because the unemployment rate for autistic people is 85%. But in an ideal world, I’d love to build my own (if there’s any sugar mommies/daddies out there that feel like spoiling someone 🤔):

Just for funsies I just built it in pcpartpicker https://pcpartpicker.com/user/JoshuaACasey/saved/cqjnpg

edit: motherboard seems out-of-stock, so if this ever becomes a reality, might have to make some adjustments for a different micro itx motherboard (plus compatible cpu of course. no biggie, thanks to the existence of pcpartpicker, compatibility is a breeze!)

or you know, just don’t use instances that have admins that are powerhungry, authoritarian, censorious dicks. (If you’re looking for a good mastodon instance like that, I’d recommend checking out qoto.org)

Disagree. It should be up to the individual USERS to have the freedom to block whatever user or instance that they want. Honestly the whole point of the fediverse is just freedom and not being at the whim of some god figure overlord

to be fair, it was always legal to discriminate against trump supporters since political views are not a “protected class”

just as long as it’s not a shitty scenario such as using discord where the information is 1. not publicly searchable because it’s stuck behind a login page, and 2. even though technically discord has a search function, good luck finding what you’re looking for

if admins are going to be dicks, then let every subreddit of reddit be filled with dicks

I might have to look into this. It says it supports the app that our ‘smart’ garage door opener uses which for some reason I am unable to login to ever since I switched my phone to GrapheneOS (literally the only app I have had trouble with…other than the pizza hut app. Btw, highly recommend GrapheneOS if you own a Pixel phone, or are in the market for a pixel phone)

Edit: If I say, for example, decided to mess around with this (I need an excuse to mess around with docker containers anyway) how easy is it to change the port. Because I’m already using port 8123 for the map for my minecraft server

as tempting as pihole is. The last time I tried to do that. the pi went offline causing no internet when i was asleep (i’m a night owl) so my dad got mad at me for changing the dns settings on the router. So now I just have the router set to quad9 (used to have it set to cloudflare’s 1.1.1.2, but recently changed it)
