My peeve with the illustration there is that it shows the dark forest (adtech shit and bots) as separate from the cozy web (chat streams like discord, slack, whatsapp), because said streams are largely run by the dark forest.

They have the money, of course they will bet on what they can control and makes them more money. It's past time those fucking things get taxed into oblivion, like a 95% tax on every cent earned after 1 million. Managing to shut off tax havens would go a long way, too.
Despite the promises, clean energy and green technology stocks have lagged far behind the broader market. Deep-pocketed institutions are concluding that many climate investments won’t pay off as quickly, or as lucratively, as they’d hoped.
When you're a hammer, everything is a nail. When you're a hedge fund, everything is stonks. Fuck them. Blow them all up to hell.
They probably believe their money will keep all those problems entirely contained within the filthy plebs' living places. "Food is scarce? Oh well, tough luck, I can still pay! And I'll also throw some of it away so the filthy plebs can fight to eat it, a demonstration of how goodhearted I am!!"
The last part I think happens because the people who are there are most likely the ones that dislike very short content, which is what Mastodon offers by default (I know it depends on instance, some allow 1k or 5k character toots), but it's a disorganized mess. It's a kind of service/software for fast communication that can be done better in a specific Discord server. The "good stuff" will always end up posted elsewhere, like personal blogs or websites, where it's better organized (most of the time)
One thing that keeps people on xitter is the "it's where I get the news". Major news outlets aren't on Mastodon and likely won't be. There's also the stuff that "you get to know before it becomes news", which also won't be on Mastodon because it lacks the "gossipers" and the mass of users that is needed for having people "everywhere"
Threads stood as much chance as Google Plus had against Facebook.
Zuckerfucker using a somewhat similar strategy to artificially boost Threads membership (login with instagram once, you can't delete your threads account without also deleting the instagram one) speaks volumes.
Imagine if instead of Arial, dad went for Comic Sans
Watt, you think this is funny?
NMS certainly evolved a lot, but I wouldn't call it incredible. Also, despite the game universe being absurdly large, you can see everything there is to see visiting less than 20 star systems
All the daily quicksilver quests are a fucking chore, too.
Also, what are the medals for?
Being on the same team as the great dear leader, who obviously always won every game ever
Freebloks and Unciv for when I'm bored
TrackerControl for keeping my phone mostly ad and tracker free
Auxio for music, but I'm considering an alternative, I can't make it ignore certain folders so a lot of received Whatsapp audio shows up on the playlist
If you want to get a glimpse of the hate against Unix in the early 90's, give "Unix hater's handbook" a read. It's a funny piece
