Nationalist Narcissism begins.

Lies, damned lies, and Software patents

And it flows into Chesapeake bay after passing by Peach Bottom nuke plant, where unannounced inspections have revealed everyone sleeping.

At one time, farmers used to grow popcorn on 3MI. Post-incident, pets were born with deformities on the York County side, harder to tell with the humans there.

We won't go into the time I drove into Indian Point during the day and found no one in attendance. No guards, gates open, etc.

I drove all over the plant. Took a while to find anyone, and that person was annoyed at my needing to make a delivery, but there was no one at the dock.

I'm not on either side, but if you read an article about nukes, someone paid for it, pro or con.

It's not that simple.

Kahn!

I never see any ads.

It's time to start taxing the acquisition, retention, and selling/trading of personal data.

Actually, that time was 40 years ago.

His version of a weighted blankie.

We're at that point in Brazil where everything behind the screens is devastated and wrecked for profit, and now if you want to see any sign of nature you need a graphics card.

But that's in California, where anything natural is on fire or is sliding across Malibu into the ocean.

So just a preview unless these people are stopped.

Face is looking increasingly compromised and distorted every photo.

The 2 largest mastodon instances both misrepresented involvement or intent with Meta to their users, then turned around and federated.

Those were/are the best chance for the fedi to leap forward.

They are the most popular and also now the keast likely to be used by tech people, both because if the association and because they misled their users.

The admins of those, one of which is the masto dev, have arguably done more harm to the fedi than anyone else. People left for bluesky right after the bragconfession and openly posted about why.

So it's not in the room with me, because I dropped their scene and closed all my accounts.

It takes a moral village idiot to compromise the whole environment just to grab some cash for their subsequent honeymoon. Not unlike current Twitter management thinking, and not unlike social media thought-levels in general.

Tried Masto and Pixelfed, left after The Great Sellout to Meta. Trying Lemmy for now but it's limited in breadth and scope.

I'd like to see a fedi digest app more than anything, gathers it all up and presents it. Then if I want to interact I can sign up for one of them. But first I want to see where things are.

In general, the technically-discerning aren't going to care as much about quantity, more about quality and features.

I'd like to block every wealthy narcissist and never read their name or see their troubled insane faces in posts, I'm fed up with the narrative on both sides and have other interests.

So if Frontpage gathered it all up and filtered out the paid narratives and shills I get to choose, while letting me follow interesting minds, I'd be very interested.

If it had a prominent link to which instance, it might become clear what instance and software is best for me.

Right now I like Piefed's ability to filter and not Lemmys militaristic intentional inability to do so.

Masto filtered, but doesn't migrate well and now federates with the shitasses on Meta, which I don't want to consort with or support. If I want to sign up for Meta it's not hard, but I haven't ever done so and don't need coercive help from fake empaths running .social instances. I'm not a farm animal, Stux.

I think the fedi got it backwards, new users need to browse first to find what they want. I get it as a techie kind, but right now it's forbidding to many with all the unknown choices.

If Frontpage, someday, can also interpolate comments and vote between the softwares that survive, that'd be a nice thing to add to a browser that's already familiar to new users.

But I think it's way early for that. Kbin is already in the past, Mbin may or may not be a true continuation, the Meta connection nay not be worthwhile for their investors, bluesky is still a pig-in-a-poke for me.

One thing that is missing, again, is a digest to browse.

You can only choose from what billionaires want.
