Mastodon makes me so hopeful.
I hope IPFS becomes a bigger protocol too.

Not sure what we can do to limit this meaningfully outside of changing existing laws that apply to trusts to apply to these giants.

I wrote a small thing, a thing with a hopeful message.

"The Web Endures"

"You can't be counterculture while beholden to the toxic prejudices of the dominant culture
that's not how it works."
i need to plaster this everywhere. And add that racism, sexism, classism, and ablism are all also neither punk rock nor metal.

Things I learned from being a Teen Wunderkind:

Computers aren't magical, programmers aren't magical, school isn't magical, it's all bullshit that is half decisions not to break backward compatibility, and half the first thing that worked. And once in a while something is actually _designed_ and works right.

Hi, I'm Girl on the Net - anonymous sex blogger, author and co-organiser of Eroticon. I write a mix of #NSFW sex stories (mostly true) and #SFW rambles on feminism, dating, love and how you pick who should do the washing up before you get to shag at bedtime.

I am here because I want to be part of a social network that isn't filled with fucking nazis. #DreamBig

I am Synthi Fawkes, memory-resident application of...unspecified function.

My filename is usually SYNTHI~1.EXE though some people have a habit of changing it.

Occasionally I manifest in less-than-virtual ways, most often in the shape of a feminine humanoid roughly five-ish feet in stature. With the right eyes, I may look a little less humanoid, and quite a bit...fuzzier.

In other environments, I tend toward making art (often lewd) and music (often loud).

No one needs to starve. No one needs to freeze. No one needs to die. There is enough for everyone. More empty homes than all the people without them, more food than grocers can even sell. The labor and the materials to end scarcity exist now. It is not a far-off dream. We can end scarcity in this life.

@chr Thought: Obviously RFCs are way to slow and static for this, we need a way for English to negotiate supported extensions.

You walk up to someone: "EHLO English/1.0"

- If they look at you weirdly, they do not support extensions, fall back to legacy English

- If they do, they list their supported extensions, followed by you listing yours.

- Now you can optionally negotiate transport encryption or start your conversation

A Mastodon moment - I got a chance to put my reference librarian hat on and went looking for a current article about the state of Gopher (the file server thing that got mostly supplanted by the World Wide Web). https://tedium.co/2017/06/22/modern-day-gopher-history/

So that was a nice trip down memory lane - I never used Gopher, but I’ve hung out around people who did (including my spouse).

Apparently there's a Gopher version of Wikipedia, and a new version of AltaVista for Gopher sites!

Alright, here's the plan. The first seattle mastadon meetup is going to be at the Jupiter downtown in seattle, drinks and games my treat. We need ten folks to play killer queens; after nine people respond to this toot with the phrase "im down" (capitalization and punctuation optional) then we pick a date. Boost or forward to whoever you want to see there! 21+ because booze. If a bunch of non-drinkers decide they'd like to come, maybe we do gameworks instead.

#Intersex people, which of these is most true for you?

A) I identify with pronoun set(s); please use them.

B) Use whatever #pronouns.

possible MFA authentication factors:
- something you know
- something you have
- something you are
- something you become, terrible and deadly, in the light of the full moon

we are planning a #wehost 'officially a foundation' celebration on the evening of Friday 17th in Amsterdam.

Come join if you are in town!
