NZ is fun. Lots of trans and Tino Rangatiratanga flags, a few Palestine flags as well! Most of the South Island is completely empty, though

I just found Fla and Flu crests outside of Wellington, New Zealand! 😁🇧🇷

AAAAAAAAAAAHHH

@fediadminbr descobriram um jeito de burlar bloqueios de instâncias usando um proxy.

O proxy faz as solicitações parecerem vindas de outro hostname, substituindo todas as menções da instância bloqueada pelo endereço não bloqueado.

Caso a requisição seja assinada, o proxy remove a assinatura original e cria uma pro endereço falso.

Então instâncias da escória da internet podem logo usar esse proxy para continuar assediando instâncias que os bloquearam.

Cheese on toast, for me ... 🥪🧀

I would love it if people had the same level of "Wikipedia isn't always right, you know" skepticism about... literally all other sources, regardless of context.

It's so weird how for decades most people around me were like "whoa, gotta be careful, can't trust wikipedia" and now many of those same people are taking whatever AI cooks up hook, line, & sinker.

I'm beginning to think it was never about actual info quality or actual critical thinking.

Qual a real possibilidade de redes sociais não capitalistas?

Nothing is better for protecting the status quo than convincing people that their problems are their own and are entirely their personal responsibility. This is basically how neoliberalism works: "personal responsibility" is elevated over the possibility of collective action, a reiteration of requirement to "express oneself" as an isolated self, free of social determination, free for "whatever."
What is odd is that the connectivity of the internet exacerbates that sort of neoliberal ideology rather than mitigating it. Connectivity atomizes rather than collectivizes. But that is because most people's experience of the internet is mediated by capitalist entities, or rather, for the sake of simplicity, by capitalism itself. [...] The internet is not the problem; capitalism is the problem.

Como destruir os influenciadores digitais em um parágrafo:

Social media structure creative effort [...] ideologically as "self-creating," but they often end up as anxiety-inducing, exposing the self's ad hoc incompleteness while structuring the demand for a fawning audience to complete us, validate every effort, as a natural expectation. Validation is nice, but as a goal for creative effort, it is somewhat limited. The quest for validation must inevitably restrict itself to the tools of attracting attention: the blunt instruments of novelty and prurience. [...] The self one tries to express tends to be new, exciting, confessional, sexy, etc., because it plays as an advertisement. Identity is a series of ads for a product that doesn't exist.
