We have groceries coming.

Not sure, but there's thunder along with it.

Happy birthday Patrick! I hope the incoming year is better for you than the outgoing one has been, and that you enjoy the day.

This was really good.

Yeah I know.

I hope it all results in something positive.

@tjcasser @rochelle Which is still giving a green light to bigotry. But I suppose either way you slice it, they're just going to say that anti-Jewish bigotry and conspiracy theorizing is the acceptable form they'll still keep around so there's a societal release valve.

@rochelle Yeah probably.

I hope all of them lose their jobs.

@serge To add to what Serge is saying in this conversation, I think the part of all this that cuts so deep is that the fediverse has consistently held itself out as essentially holier than big social and even the rest of the internet when it comes to various bigotries. And then October 7 happened and it proceeds to, after watching all the bad things everyone else did with regard to antisemitism, go "Hold my coffee" and prove that in the end it's not only no better but often far worse than everything else it criticizes.

That's OK I think we have enough for now.

It's stopped raining for now here, but it was the kind of rain you could smell. Welcome to summer I guess.

We had a tiny thunderstorm here earlier this afternoon. Supposed to get more rain tomorrow.

She is the bestest good girl!

Oh wow I didn't realize US Cellular even still existed.

Network effect, (I.E., all their friends/family are on surveillance social and so that's where they are), switching costs, (big social makes these really high, you can't move your network and you can't follow your network from small social and you can't migrate your content), and finally the UX tends to be easier for users on big social. All of this will outweigh privacy concerns as long as people can't quite wrap their heads around all the implications involved.

@GossiTheDog You should absolutely play it at the office.
