These folks weren't trying to predict our current future. They were trying to create a future worth living in, & we failed to make that happen.
Englebart could do MOAD in 1968 because that was the available tech. It looks familiar not because it's ahead of its time but because we stopped progressing.

#CrazyIdea What if fediverse instances had (optional) "friend-instances" that they featured on they landing page?
Then by just finding a single instance, you could discover more instances that might match in quality and values - kinda like an old school webring of instances.

@tindall thank you for putting it out there. i understand all 3 and its important to vocalise. i have already purged most non-free surveillance malware from my life. i run a GApps-less phone. i run a home server for cloud storage/services. i run linux.
it's not easy, but i enjoy challenges and it gives my life meaning. software freedom and privacy are both very important to me.

Understanding these things, I feel that it is my duty, to myself and to my community, to reject and replace the products and services of as many spying companies with those of non-spying companies and nonprofit groups as rapidly and thoroughly possible.
That can only be done with free software. So, I am a free software radical.

reading that article about fb and i realised I've become totally desensitised to them. they could literally buy sri lanka, set it on fire and burn everything to the ground and id still be like "yup, sounds like f*ceb**k." they're literally the incarnation of evil. they'd give satan a run for his money.
pray cthulu save us

understand that what you pay attention to everyday is what your life is made up of.
be wise in how you spend it.
a good day is a common occurrence. but a good life is the rarest thing i know.

freedom?
what of it?
true freedom is not sexy. freedom is the everyday caring of people, sacrificing for them over and over again. it is the myriad of little petty actions you take everyday.

your body is not a temple.
your mind is not pure.
your actions are not free.
give up worship. give up prayer.
override your settings. reboot the system.
dissent.

do you hear the hum?
the world of money and power fueled by fear and contempt.
do you hear it slowing?
will you stop it?
get off the endless treadmill, shatter the altar of the self.

discard your unconscious worship.
break the chains that you keep you caged.
keep truth at the forefront of your mind.
analyse you default settings.
rice your mind.

you worship power so you will always be afraid.
you worship money so you will never have enough.
you worship family so you will always be alone.
you worship loyalty so you will always be abandoned.

It seems like every day there is a new attack against us, against our future.
Every day, the world gets a little less safe, a little less free.

@bob @Steven_Vervaecke my hope is enough people from the first world countries stop using it so they lose funding and are unable to sustain their operations worldwide. it's not going to happen, ik, but it would be a better outcome than splitting them up. the problem with that corporation is more than just its monopoly.
if not for instagram, fb (the corp) would be dead.
