Just a nerd who migrated from kbin(dot)social.
Well, it should be that the City Council refuses the permits, and if Musk does it anyway, the City either bulldozes the building, or sues him until the building is removed. So either the building comes down or the municipality makes a pile of cash off the bastard.
I hope that the people of Memphis can force the city council to refuse any extensions to the permit. We need to make sure that their actions are made public, and hopefully, people can break the companies.
I feel like our current political climate might make this an interesting exercise on a regular basis. If we could use a botnet on Google Maps with spoofed GPS data, could we, say, direct a bunch of traffic away from a place where certain government agencies are acting?
Nah, I’m honestly happy to work. I like my job, and I like money.
I’ll be honest, I don’t mind when people make alternative softwares that don’t work with Nostr, ATProto, or ActivityPub. I mind when they refuse to make it open-source or use an LLM to create it.
Agreed! Thank goodness for WFH in times of inclement weather like this.
Really? I saw a forecast of up to 22 inches this weekend at the highest (I think the highest confidence across all models was around 14" from Friday to Sunday). I hope your friend in Kentucky can either hunker down or has a plan to evacuate if it’s worse than that.
Ah, you’re on the eastern seaboard too.
Yeah, I’m reacting kinda like Radar, honestly.
I mean, I use SeaMonkey still, and that’s the direct descendant of Netscape Communicator. So at least some of us are close.
Can we call for these Senators to be at least publicly exiled, if not publicly executed?
Fair enough. That’s part of why I prefer to use different software to access magazines and threads on the Fediverse.
They don’t want you exploring anymore. Exploration would take you away from their profitable walled garden.
Dang it. Hootsuite used to be a decent marketing tool. When it was totally free, it was even good for those of us users who wanted a slimmed down version of our social media (Fb & Twitter in a single tab especially). It’s disappointing to see them fall so far.
All that most of us really need is the freedom to not be shot, to work for a decent living, and have enough bread and circuses to keep me going in the former two.
Wait, it’s actually that low? I would have thought it’d be at least 25%.
What about those of us who refuse to protest or organize because we’d prefer not to be active targets?
After all, it’s just a banana. How much can it possibly cost? Ten dollars?
The challenge is that a lot of people came to the Fediverse (especially the Threadiverse) because of what they perceived as overactive moderation. Mods here are often discouraged from taking action unless it’s extreme.
It’s not a gotcha. It’s a decent cash flow to the city if he wants to se the real estate - and that’s before they tax him, and sue him again if he evades,
