> As #Usenet has few technologically or legally enforced hierarchies, just about the only ones that formed were social.

> The cabal was created in an effort to facilitate reliable propagation of new Usenet posts. While in the 1970s and 1980s many news servers only operated during night time to save on the cost of long distance communication, servers of the backbone cabal were available 24 hours a day. The administrators of these servers gained sufficient influence in the otherwise anarchic Usenet community to be able to push through controversial changes, for instance the Great Renaming of Usenet newsgroups during 1987.

Here's my weekend #libreops project. My nephew is a Quadriplegic and I'm undertaking building a PC (MR) gaming rig.
Thus far, his interface with the world is primarily an xbox one, a quadstick, and bluetooth headphones.
I aim to replicate this, to the best of my ability, but i also want to try and mix in tobii eye tracking, and potentially some voice assistant features.
Win 10 is the likely candidate here, as I dont think *nix has a good VA, or Tobii.
the work going into Pleroma 2.0 and Mastodon 3.x and all the other fediverse software will give us the solid foundation of consent we need to make it happen.
this isn't financial advice but it's getting close to time to short facebook stock.
