Avdi Grimm ·The current chaos in WordPress caused by Matt seems like a good time to remind folks that the Mastodon “community” websites and trademarks are 100% owned by one man, despite pleas from current and former project members to make Mastodon a foundation with a board.

the eu, led by west germany, kills more migrants in a year than anyone was killed at the berlin wall by both sides put together in its entire existence. same for the us on its southern border.

Seems like there's some kind of memory leak in the microblog.pub code. I have to restart the server processes at least once a day to keep things running smoothly. I'm very happy overall on this new server, but this is definitely something I need to fix before I can comfortably make it my main account.

Decided to get the BlueSky bridge set up on this account. It's on my personal single-user instance, so no side-effects to worry about. Let's see how it goes.

None of the usual Mastodon apps work with microblog.pub (as it doesn't implement the Mastodon API), but posting from Indiepass seems to work. Or rather, if you're seeing this post that means it worked.

Our stopped clock technology is still in its infancy, but it's already reached an accuracy rate of two or more times per day, and there's no reason for us to believe that won't improve dramatically in the future

God, the number of techbros here who are confident in their ability to resist targeted attacks from sophisticated national intelligence agencies is terrifying, but also explains a lot about why Silicon Valley is the way it is.

The neat thing about microblog.pub is that it supports long-form articles as well, so I'll probably start consolidating a bunch of my old articles on here as well. And who knowns, maybe I'll even write some new ones.

The import of my follows seems to be mostly finished. Lost about 40 in the process. Probably a bunch from old instances that disappeared at some point in the last seven years. Maybe also still a bunch of pending manual approvals that'll drip in over the next few days.

Alright, let try out another bit of Fediverse software! It's called microblog.pub and I was lucky enough to find it right before its flagship instance went down about a week ago.

The Economic Arms Race
Since the Industrial Revolution each great power conflict has been won by the side with the largest economy. As a result, economic growth has become the continuation of war by other means. It's time for peace.

The Case Against Accelerationism
When driving through a minefield, it's probably a bad idea to press the accelerator. Yet that is exactly what so-called accelerationists want us to do. Let's not.
