I’m actually shocked and not shocked at the same time…

To be honest, I freaking love bookwyrm so much. One of my favorite ways to burn time online is to find books that come across my feed that are missing info like cover art, description, etc. and to fill it all in. I’ve spent hours doing this and it feels so cool, like I’m actually part of maintaining the system.

Also, Ive found that the people on Bookwyrm tend to like books that I really love that are also potentially kind of niche, so Ive found a lot of really great book recommendations that I never would have found from Goodreads or an algorithm.

I’m curious what/if any info can be retrieved from Matrix servers?

I really hope that we’ll be able to maintain a strong resistance and fortification against Meta taking over the fediverse.

Fuck, let’s pray it is

Ive been on Manjaro for a little over a year and, aside from seeming like a second class environment to other Linux systems, I’m really enjoying it

As an American, its always so encouraging to see the things that come out of the EU

Goddamn it…

The FOSS and open ecosystem is a deep rabbit hole to jump down. Its an important one to be sure, but its also important to know that there is no really feasible way for lay folks to fully pass any sort of purity test without swapping to Linux, using a nonstandard mobile OS, etc. These are all achievable things to do, but they come with significant tradeoffs that require people to be very tech savvy.

I’d say it would be good to learn more about open source as an idea, and then take consistent, small measures to wean yourself out of the totally closed Apple ecosystem. But dont beat yourself up - the most important change is the one upstairs…IRL impacts will flow from that over time.

Jesus its like Elon Musk was the prophet for the Fuckheads Who Will Ruin The Internet For Money. Big Tech can suck my asshole.
