Not all commons are overgrazed, and not all rides are free. Sometimes things just work because people happen to care.
let me be clear: this is not the fault of bluesky the team, organization, or social infrastructure. this is the fault of bluesky the userbase, bluesky the community. i want bluesky to win, to become the global town square, but in order to do so it has to reckon with why that hasn't happened yet

Lawyers: It’s illegal to sign a lease without a lawyer present. Teachers: If we didn’t assign 5-page essays, H sapiens would lose the ability to write. Devs: Cmon, everyone can—and should—code for themselves. You gonna let someone else configure your emacs?
cee@cee.wtf · 3mo ago“This is different for coders” - everyone should be a coder. Everyone should be making software. You’re on a computer 18 hours a day what do you mean you don’t want to bend it to your will. You’re just like… letting other people decide what your computer does???

a caps lock key that actually does caps lock is like the fucked up thing ever
gray market peptides are a pretty interesting stress-test of ancap principles. precisely because they're not illegal but fully unregulated, we see the emergence of third party quality/purity testing and similar proposed ancap apparatuses
been using Ubuntu derivatives my entire life but just installed Fedora Workstation on my former gaming PC and wow this is pretty nice
waittttttt do big screens feel better than small screens because they require you to collapse your awareness less?
no reply? oh you don't like me? you hate me? you hate my joke and you want me to suffer and die? because you hate me?
man with Google locking down Android sideloading one of my primary motivations for staying is gone... now the main thing keeping me from switching is rage, hate, and spite
weird to realize how much of my inner life has been oriented around both coping with and preserving stasis
