I worked for the burningman project as Department of Public Works for 16 or so years. I have been programming since I was 12 and this is my 1st forray into social media. Here's hoping federation lives up to its promises!

From comments I see people don't understand how taxes work.
If a top tax rate is 90% on 1 million dollars or pounds, you do not pay 90% on the entire million dollars or pounds, only on dollars or pounds you make ABOVE that million.
So if you make a million pus one, your tax is 90 cents or pence. NOT 900,000 dollars or pounds.
Also if you are a hedge fund manager who makes 1 billion a year, you "only" get to keep 100 million. That makes me so sad. The entire world weeps for you.

At 46 I'm keeping my mind sharp by asking myself tough questions like "what was I doing just now?" and "why did I even come in this room?"

Don't forget to set your clock on fire Saturday night because time isn't real and clocks are just a solipsist epistemological paradigm.

I'm a totally blind software tester with previous testing experience. I know there are many of you in the #Fedivers working on many cool projects, I'd love to test them for accessibility if you're looking for an accessibility tester or any accessibility consultancy please get in touch :-) if everyone could repost this, that would be great thanks very much :-) #a11y #Blind #Accessibility

Oh, you want a real-world example of how so-called #AI will make the world worse? OK:
Remember back in 2017 when Telco puppet Ajit Pai, as head of the FCC, tried to fabricate evidence in support of his plan to kill the wildly popular Net Neutrality by having his Telco friends finance the submission of millions of fake comments to the FCC website? This was easily discovered because the same comments were simply copied & auto-submitted 1000s of times.

"only playing in theaters"
You have no power over me. When I grew up, movies didn't come home for like 18-24 months - if ever. I can wait.

Week 2 of the #defconmovienight noirvember is off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush. Join us for Neo-noir 'LA Confidential' at 8pm PST in the movie-night-text channel of the DEF CON discord (discord.gg/defcon) for a tour of the City of Angels' 1950s era dark side.

My nerdy friend just got a PhD on the history of palindromes.
We now call him Dr. Awkward.

When you get a notification on Mastodon:
Yay! Someone favorited me!
Yay! Someone boosted me!
Yay! Someone followed me!
Mastodon: Nope! A poll you voted on has ended! LOSER

@knightly666 @pluralistic @silvereagle > Bandcamp had also unionized in March of 2023, and Songtradr laid off most of the staff involved in the union, as well as those who were helping to negotiate fair terms.
This seems like it would be cause for a strike or NLRB action?
