If you want an indieweb to thrive, and for communications to be private:

Corporations are your adversary.

The US Government is your adversary. (Cloud Act, etc.)

The EU Government is your adversary. (Chat Control, etc.)

The coalitions you want to form are among queer / nerd subcultures.

You want kinksters. You want furries. You want bronies. You want Warhammer 40K players. You want otaku. You want therians. You want juggalos. You want Sonic the Hedgehog fans. You want the cringe TikTokers. You want D&D players and LARPers. You want people who attend Renaissance Festivals. You want people that attend Cowboy Fast Draw events.

You can have all those without the Nazis.

You can have all those without any government's permission.

Without corporate gentrification and rent-seeking.

Both corporations and authoritarianism benefit from centralization.

Over the weekend, did you see the much-shared story on Reddit by a supposed whistleblower?

It started like this: "I’m a developer for a major food delivery app. The 'Priority Fee' and 'Driver Benefit Fee' go 100% to the company. The driver sees $0 of it. I’m posting this from a library Wi-Fi on a burner laptop because I am technically under a massive NDA. I don’t care anymore."

Well, it was a fake.

The author of a viral Reddit thread alleging fraud at a food delivery company tried to back up his claim by sending me AI-generated documents. Today I'm publishing those documents in the hopes that it helps other reporter see what we're up against in the age of AI platformer.news/fake-uber-eats

If you're thinking of setting up a read-only Discord server for publishing updates about your project, consider: making an RSS feed instead.

ahh yeah another bodge from the previous owner.

Went to replace the drain/trap under the kitchen sink (belfast type) and it was on so tight that it broke while removing

When we removed the sink waste we discovered that it was the WRONG size for the sink and the previous owner had just bodged it in place with loads of silicon sealant and a metal plate. 🙃​

now we need to get a replacement waste for the sink

fox yipping sounds at your door
aggressive paw sounds start shortly after
