Radio waves are rather large so several ants might need to link together for long distance listening. Possibly ten ants.
Call it an "ant ten a"
I'll be here all night folks!
@Paul I think this is what you're looking for. https://indieweb.org/#:~:text=%F0%9F%8E%A1%20Homebrew%20Website%20Club
@freddy yes that's it, thanks!
@yngmar
Here you go...
Andy Taylor (?) and Simon Le Bon are both wearing your style of wellies. 😃
@fitheach Those definitely could do with some farmwork to wear in those new clothes. Although not sure they'd be much good at it.

Composting the #deathcult means building an alternative
For 40 years we’ve been told there is no alternative. The neoliberal #deathcult has made a religion of markets, competition, individualism and profit. We’ve been told to keep our heads down, accept the consequences and leave everything to the market. Now look at where this…

Darth Vader: I know what you are getting for Xmas.
Luke: How is that possible?
Darth Vader: I felt your presents.
Luke: That is such a lame dad joke!
Darth Vader: It’s funny that you should mention that…
@dgar Is the how the xmas special came about?

One of the deepest messes of the last 20 years is that people increasingly struggle to understand the word "us". They hear "me".
50 years of #neoliberalism, reinforced by its historical companion #postmodernism, have dug a deep well of poison. The last 20 years of #mainstreaming alt culture have been drinking from it.
Collective identity becomes individual identity. Shared responsibility becomes personal choice. Solidarity becomes a collection of competing interests.
This is how we lose the ability to act together, even when we're facing the same problems. We won't rebuild grassroots power by digging deeper into this well.
Don't drink from the mainstream. We need to compost this mess and rebuild cultures based on trust, solidarity and collective action.
That's part of what the #OMN and the #openweb reboot are about. Moving from "me" back towards "us".

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.
The year is 2026, websites still have not figured out how to properly sort country/state names with diacritics in them.
@phnt my favorite is when they sort by english name but show localized names

Honestly it kinda checks out that a solid half the comments on the new Fall Out Boy start with the poster self-identifying as a 30-something teacher 😅

The "common sense" story of the web goes something like this:
Web 1.0: The web is for sharing information.
Web 2.0: But what if we could make money from it too?
Web 3.0: The web is now just about making money.
There's a problem with this story. #Web3 isn't really the web at all. It's largely app-based, and the enclosure of the web actually happened during #Web2, when platforms turned shared spaces into commercial silos.
So the only genuinely useful part of this "common sense" history is #Web1.0: the original idea of an #openweb for sharing.
We don't need another version of the same enclosure dressed up as progress. We need to recover the promise: an open, decentralised web built around sharing, participation and the commons.
Back to the roots, but with 30 years of lessons learned. #OMN #4opens
Over the past few days, I've been working on some Linux-based setups, bringing back some of my old solutions (with a few adaptations) to make them work the way I like. Mostly inspired by some of the ideas of simplicity that come from the BSD world.
I'm using Alpine Linux as a base, and I've been testing these setups on both proper servers and SBCs, for various reasons.
And, all things considered, some distributions (like Alpine, for example) have remained fairly true to the original ideas of simplicity and predictability. I still enjoy using Linux when it’s logical and predictable.
And this got me thinking: some distributions have gone from:
"Hey, we're a solid, simple, and reliable alternative to Windows. Give us a try!"
to:
"Hey, we support practically all your hardware, just like Windows" (which, to be fair, was a real achievement)
to:
"Hey, Windows! I’ve become just like you!"
As if complexity automatically meant "enterprise-grade", and being "enterprise-grade" were something everyone should aspire to - even on a laptop or a small SBC.
There's nothing wrong with solving complex problems. Some complexity is unavoidable, and sometimes even necessary. But complexity should be the price we sometimes have to pay to solve problems, not something we proudly advertise as a feature.
Otherwise, we end up exactly where we started: just like Windows. Or perhaps even worse.
@stefano Never a better time to use Debian.
