“Give A Little Love” by Tom Jones #NowListening

This free iTunes song of the week (remember those?) in the aughts introduced me to Tom Jones. It still slaps.

Shame on Dove for promoting the wildly harmful Kids Online Safety Act bill that LGBTQ+ organizations, the ACLU, and the EFF oppose.

Everyone else is doing so many things, and I am here struggling with #Swedish so much that everything else is on pause for me :(

I feel like there is a funny joke with the setup “What’s the difference between DNS and daddy issues?” but I haven’t yet nailed the punchline.

Something about being authoritative, source of all your problems?

Trying to get a #Mastodon server setup on Google Cloud Platform is incredibly frustrating, y'all.

This needs to be a terraform apply and open a browser sort of thing.

Here are some #Instagram story templates you can use to promote #Mastodon and the #fediverse to your friends.

1. Download the 2 images

2. Put a link sticker to https://joinmastodon.org/apps on the “try Mastodon” image. Add a fun arrow sticker to draw attention.

3. Put a link sticker to your fediverse profile, but with your handle as text on the “follow me” image.

Example attached.

You can follow me on Mastodon: Mastodon is the only Twitter alternative that: • has over 11 million people using it • is truly federated, meaning no single company “owns” it • will be supported by WordPress, Tumblr, and more soon!

Explanation: all of the browsers on the right except Firefox are just Chrome with different UI and branding. To help reduce Google’s influence over the Web as a platform, use Firefox or Safari.

Sverige 🇸🇪 does not deserve such a high ranking because simply stating objective facts can be considered “gross defamation” punishable with imprisonment and fines.

An amazing human spent months working on an animatronic singing puppet that plays the 2002-hit song “A Thousand Miles” thru the streets of San Francisco on top of a former self-driving delivery robot.

I just did an interview with a Canadian journalist about the Swedish home guard and total defence system and whether such a system could be created for Canada.

My argument is that yes, it should be, but that you need to remember that the Swedish total defence system is rooted in Swedish social compromise. The old Swedish elites chose to share power with the labour movement after the 1920s and Sweden's military system, like so much else, is a product of this.

I saw a short edit of an incredible documentary a few years ago about a Vietnamese American refugee living in Oregon telling her life story.

Her son is one of the most talented documentarians I’ve ever met and her story is powerful.

Please take 1 minute to vote for it to win $45,000 in finishing funds. This story needs to be told.

Most moderation problems I have seen discussed recently would disappear if everyone was on a server operated by someone they personally knew in meatspace.

Fediverse servers should be the size of a chosen family at most. It’s ok to post in your parents’ home. It’s ok to move in with your cousins. It’s ok to move into your own home. Your digital home should feel as comfortable as your physical home. You should be able to open/close your own door as you please.

VCs and tech journalists on LinkedIn keep hyping the idea of a super app for the US and EU markets.

A super app would give a company I already get a mediocre experience from the ability to ensure all of my digital experiences are mediocre. No thanks.
