Farm Fresh from Gaza to Tijuana to a town near you: it’s Foucault’s Boomerang!

Séamas gave us of the funniest story threads I’ve ever read on that cursed site: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/992006545473966082.html

In their defence, it was a relatively small investment of only $19m. I guess the story is that this must be an indication of how other, larger, investors might also be looking at X.

Well now I HAD to read the thread

What an absolute weirdo.

It’s definitely larger than I’d like but damned if the manufacturers haven’t heard our demands and realised that, once again, compactness is a premium feature. You can get an itty bitty iPhone or S23 but fuck all in the mid range. Thanks again, The Market!

I bought this a few days ago and it arrives next week: https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_10_iv-11522.php.

It’s not iPhone or Zenfone small and it’s only midrange spec but it’s pretty compact. Plus SD card slot, 3.5mm jack…

I don’t even bother typing them because I like having eslint do it for me.

I don’t know the full story but I’m aware of an association between pleroma and some of the nastier, nazier corners of the fedi. My guess is that many of the larger instances running pleroma have been defederated from their masto counterparts.

A quick Google of “pleroma Nazis” gave me this, probably more nuanced, explanation: https://medium.com/@Trevatos/gnu-social-pleroma-and-the-mastodon-culture-conflict-3b10872937c2

I think subdirs would break the whole fedi handle system; deafboy@deafboy.social/masto wouldn’t make sense to most clients.

Fwiw, after lemmy.ml announced last week that they would preemptively block/defed anything owned by Meta, and lemmy.world didn’t, I got the heebie-jeebies and relocated my main account to .ml. I’ve learned to listen to little red flags like that and now this.

Edit: just to add that it might be nothing. I hope it’s nothing and that I’m overreacting. But…

I had a Handspring PDA. Still in a box in my garage in fact, alongside my Nokia 770 “internet tablet”.

That is awesome! (Both the pic and the fedi skills)
