The last time Facebook embraced an open federated standard they did it for precisely long enough to saturate server-to-server contacts between an already existing userbase and their stuff, then shut off that federation and told anyone cut off by it to just come to Facebook instead.

This is literally something they did. This is in their playbook.

The people running the stuff behind the scenes were blindsided by it; it was an executive decision. Those people wanted to build the thing in good faith and the Business Plan was to let them until the time was right to strike.

That we're again going "It seems to be done right, let's give them a chance" is a little infuriating considering I was pretty impacted by the fallout of the last time.

Dont think I posted this sketch yet

Really need to get my face lasered. Facial hair is making me feel really dysphoric.

Also really need to get on HRT soon. Kinda feeling a bit sad again today (probably brought on by facial hair and shaving this morning) that I'm 40 and I still haven't started on HRT yet.

Given my terrible early exposure to the Furry community in the 90s, I gotta say, they ended up being amazing allies in my later years.

Oh, this newbie programmer YouTuber learning Godot is very charming. He's doing very well.

Video: "So when I asked ChatGPT for the code-"

What? What are you-

Video: "And this is wrong, this function doesn't exist. ChatGPT, this is your job, you're supposed to know-"

Are you... joking?

Holy shit, we're in the middle of losing a whole generation of new programmers.

You know, reading other reviews of the latest Dr who specials, oh boy so many chuds complaining about WHO being ruined for going “woke”.

Well I’ve been bingeing Pertwee’s run on the show at the same time.

They’re saying it’s “woke”?

I hate to break it to these guys with neck beards and gym sock girlfriends, but it’s always been “woke”.

The subject of gender comes up at least twice, PoC in the cast, loads of political messaging… this was the early 70’s.

anyway I got some decent glossy vinyl sticker paper now so I can Create Problems

The massive self-own in admitting that you have to go out of your way to code ignorance into an AI to get it to adopt your viewpoints.
