The article could have easily been just as absurd if it was about how people didn’t get the alert because the alerts were moved to a mastodon instance and people are upset because they don’t want to have to go through the trouble of picking a server. heh.

You can view mastodon posts without being forced to make an account. This use to be the case with Twitter before it was turned into X.

they should at the very least be as accessible as possible for people who help.

They've been doing this for as long as I can remember, the link in the amber alert led to a Twitter post that anyone could view. It wasn't until musk recently making it so you have to make an account in order to see posts which makes me surprised this hasn't been brought up sooner

a metaphor which means "get our shit together"

Reading this while on the shitter

Don't blue check marks get paid based on their number of views cause of ads and "creator payout" stuff? Is this Musk's side hustle lmao

ProtonVPN and RiseupVPN are trusted free choices that don't require payment info to use

Still had cool experiences. I think now a days you can use apps to turn your phone into a makeshift oculus quest and stream to your PC using Steam VR, so somewhat useful I think

Edit: it was a headset where you put your phone inside

Aw man those things were so cool! My dad actually got one of those for me as a gift when I was way younger, I forget for which occasion. Didn't use it much tho cause later my grandma found out about it and stole it, throwing it away in the garbage. She doesn't hate me or anything, she was just scared I'd get brain cancer and since nobody in the family ever believes her because of that crap she reads on facebook, that was her way of protecting me. Oh well.

Now, if Google loses, Firefox will likely head of enshitification.

The whole thing is FOSS. if the company goes over the community can still maintain it if they wish to

Wait until the media hears about Garry's Mod
