I was gonna boost a web 1.0 nostalgia thread, but turned out to be just defeatist, and yknowha? no
web 1.0 never died
what has died is the will to make it grow
you can totally make a webring right now if you want
you can make a shitty table with thick borders and yellow backgroung
you can make whatever website you want even if it's bad and under construction and you never finish it, but leave some poetry in one of the links
what is stopping anyone from doing this? it's definitely not twitter, or a shift in technology
just fukn do it if you want, dare do it, there's literally nothing to lose
Right-wing, capitalist bollocks
The threat to capitalism from the four day week is that it links pay to productivity, and decouples it from the amount of time you spend in the workplace. Workers stop being an exploitable resource and start to get a share of the success of the business, and they really, really can't be having that.
I'm actually very scared of this btw, I don't know if leaving Meta's social network isolated from the rest of the fediverse would help at all

"...the city of Paris has made enormous investments in public transit, built hundreds of miles of bike paths, and closed many streets to cars. Car trips within the city dropped by almost sixty per cent between 2001 and 2018, car crashes dropped by thirty per cent, and pollution has improved. The city is quieter and calmer; test scores go up as the air around schools cleans up."

"What if an AI got hyper-focused on making paperclips and destroyed us all?" asked the insufferable nerd, as corporations whose only directive is "make stock price go up" utterly destroyed the conditions favourable for human life
hey digital artists: do yall know of any good ways to train what i am calling "hand/screen coordination"? i have a drawing tablet but it's not one with a screen on it, so i have trouble using it intuitively because there's a disconnect between what my hand is doing and what that causes the cursor to do

Greetings, Fediverse! Let me make an #introduction - I'm Emily, a recently out #trans girl, #lgbtq advocate, and giant #tech nerd.
This is a personal account, but since 2017 I've been working at #linustechtips as a writer and occasional host. I'm most well-known for #Linux and #retrogaming / #retrocomputing content, but my interests can be very broad - Especially with stuff I know nothing about!
Tech can be fun and tech can be a tool, and to that end, I advocate using (and breaking) every platform and learning about the days of computers past. Between work and home, I currently daily drive #Linux and #Windows in roughly equal measure.
I was a #sega kid, so that probably had something to do with that philosophy... And my fondness for FM synth.
