Everytime I try to look into some “new” approach to doing networking that doesn’t rely on FAANG stuff, I keep getting smacked in the face with some cryptocurrency-adjacent language. I try to turn off the bias and continue reading but then I get reminded by the text why I should have stopped.

These people aren’t building for my people.

Yo so there’s (was?) a post at https://blog.pinboard.in/2011/12/don_t_be_a_free_user/ that I can’t find anywhere. It’s not in the Wayback machine, it’s not on @pinboard’s blog anymore (looks yanked) and like 8 posts I’m reading referenced it. Long live the Web?

Lol, “hacking” nowadays is code for consuming software from companies that would have sued you for ACTUALLY hacking their stuff. https://twitter.com/blogdiva/status/1138879653869948931. Talk about a CON.

People: “why doesn’t company X do Y?”
Company: We only need your money and data, everything else is for show.
People: “Such a forward thinking company”
Company: _funds anti-people and harassment tooling instead of people-centric software_
people: Much… v2.jacky.wtf/post/f649a683-…
These feelings get exacerbated when I come home and check my updates. More rambling on Black neocapitalism with no regard for the community and how just sprinkling money at people doesn’t fix things. At best, money’s a numbing agent when you have a lot… v2.jacky.wtf/post/b25ed3c7-…

I sometimes look up and notice that I’m existing in a bit of a bubble. I don’t run Windows since it expired in usability for me back in 2009 on the home computer (because you don’t own your copy of Windows, you rent it for the duration of your license). Which is not what people know to be true - they think that once they buy it, it’s like food or clothes; it’s yours

These feelings get exacerbated when I come home and check my updates. More rambling on Black neocapitalism with no regard for the community and how just sprinkling money at people doesn’t fix things. At best, money’s a numbing agent when you have a lot of money problems. We really need to invest in systems for our communities that help them live so they can go about their lives and just breathe.

Again, I def feel either crazy or just out of it; everyone wants to secure a bag but never stop to look at the bag was made of the skin of their kinfolk.

OMG, I'm working on a new Dark Mode for my website for macOS and soon iOS users, and this is looking SO-O-O-O good. I'm tempted to enable this as a manual option for anyone to use, and now I'm even wondering if I like my regular color theme… 🤪
