They can't keep expecting me to learn new internet animals. First it was some dog, then a tiny hippo, now some kind of racoon? It's simply too much.
This is very upsetting

Step 1: change index inclusion rules: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/new-rule-could-fast-track-spacex-ipo-for-nasdaq-index-inclusion-172327734.html
Step 2: pump at ipo so the market cap is high enough to get on the index funds
Step 3: wait 2 weeks for retail investors to auto-buy
Step 4: dump and take everyone’s 401k money

I don’t want to see any more fictional cyberpunk settings where people are suffering from too-much-cybernetics disease, I want a fictional cyberpunk setting where people are suffering from preventable diseases like measles and whooping cough. Not with fancy made up name, just say “those kids are dying of polio and there’s nothing we can do.” Sometimes a dystopian future shows what happens when we regress.
“The result is a world surrounded by frictionless experiences that mask systems that we neither understand nor control. We have become fantastic at interacting with surfaces, all while our data is harvested and our attention monetized behind the veil of user-friendliness. In this context, opacity feels comfortable and commonplace.”

@cdamian @pj A number of independent instances (like mine) are funded by the users. It would be interesting for something like Forkiverse to make membership an Incognito Mode benefit, like how some places add Discord access as a paid benefit.
I also think that any instances that are able to turn a profit should contribute some of that to the Mastodon project.

While the US celebrates Pi day on 3/14, the rest of the world doesn't celebrate until 3/14
Kalamazoo-based medical device company Stryker has been hacked and temporarily shut down by an Iran-linked group.
56,000 employees across 61 countries and "anyone with Microsoft Outlook on their personal phones had their devices wiped."

@dbergey@mastodon.social the problem with citing the HIG is that Apple provides a counter example to every guideline

@Danhon@mastodon.cloud it's worth noting that Mastodon speaks ActivityPub, which means that news orgs may be able to publish to Mastodon from their existing CMS without running a Mastodon server.
My WordPress blog posts to Mastodon, but it doesn't *run* Mastodon. Not through a 3rd party bot, but by using the ActivityPub plugin to let people follow it in Mastodon.

@Danhon@mastodon.cloud kind of. You need an account on *something* but it doesn’t have to be Mastodon.
@georgehotelling is WordPress. If you follow it you get new posts in your feed, that are sent out by the ActivityPub plugin.
You can follow PixelFed and PeerTube accounts on Mastodon, but they are running non-Masto apps and don’t require an extra Masto account for cross-posting

@dbergey@mastodon.social agreed. Disable, show the 🚫 cursor on hover, grey out, whatever, but do not let me think that's clickable.

@Danhon@mastodon.cloud bingo. That's what excites me about Mastodon, ActivityPub, and the Fediverse. It's open and you can expose a *lot* of things through it.
It reminds me of RSS in the early days, and fills some of the gaps left by Google Reader.
