Every time my posts go viral by mastodon standards, I get mean-spirited replies from strangers who then inform me that I cannot criticize them because they're autistic. I'M ALSO AUTISTIC.

We're of course hoping for platinum, and really not for plutonium, because the critical mass is 11 kg...

The irony is not lost on me that the Internet Archive went out of its way to acquire the physical versions of millions of books and loan them out carefully and in a limited way, and is facing a near-extinction-level event over it, while for-profit and VC-backed companies are just stealing people’s content and making up excuses to validate the bad behavior.
