"I'm not saying reality and facts are completely worthless, I'm saying that they have to be embedded in a narrative so that people can see them and hear them"

@phantasmal_yearnest @aadilayub @Abacus32 @witti Then don't follow them. Problem solved.

But you see, our friends want to do that. Or the friends of our friends. And we want to talk with our friends here.

And we want Twitter and Facebook to lose their dominance, because it's vital for freedom and democracy. But that won't happen unless most people leave them for the fediverse. And that won't happen if they don't get what they want here

This actually took a long time, and has to be complete and utter bullshit, right!? I've selected which cookies to allow on a lot of websites now, and none has taken any time at all, except now on Forbes

I'm sick and tired of being forced to do free work for Google every time I want to buy a bundle from Humble. I'm logged in, I've bought a ton from you before and I'm not paying minimum price, just let me pay goddamit

I want to thank the two people who have donated to me over on @Liberapay thus far. € 4.55 is not a lot of money, but I truly appreciate the suuport for my work over on https://corydoctorow.miraheze.org/

Now Liberapay is in a bit of trouble, but I have faith in their ability to find a good sollution for everyone. We need a free and open source alternative to Patreon. I will continue to use and support Liberapay, and I hope you will too!

@electrotamitha I'm allright, thanks. How about you? :D

This is fantastic news!

The European Commission on Wednesday said it would fine Google €4.34 billion, or about $5 billion, for “illegal practices regarding Android mobile devices to strengthen dominance of Google’s search engine.”

If you think there are good articles I should link to, let me know. Feedback appreciated

@dotUser Interesting! So I'm guessing the price will go down with time. Do you have a video of this? And do you think it's possible that there will be found even less noisy ways of propelling drones in the future?

Is it physically possible to make small drones (like quads) that don't sound like 10 million bees being tortured?

I just have to tell you how amazing https://www.wikiart.org/ is! If you ever need some public domain art to illustrate something, this is your go to place!
