Due to depression I stopped playing guitar for 10 yrs, then I had a complicated break in my ring finger & had it in a cast for 3 months. Afterwards i could barely move it but that somehow made me pick up the guitar again. I am now back to playing everyday and rediscovered my love for music 🎵

Exactly why I cancelled amazon prime and stopped buying from there. Blocking websites that use AWS is sadly not possible because they basically have a monopoly

I studied the Nazis at university, taught the history of Nazi Germany on two continents and wrote for major newspapers about Nazi Germany. I am internet famous for fact- checking chuds on the history, ideology and policy of Nazi Germany. That was a Nazi salute.

Trying to read up on anything online has become a frustrating chore, there are too many AI slop article websites...it would probably be less frustrating if you couldn't instantly tell it's ai slop based on structure and formatting but ugh is it annoying

If you’re thinking about leaving Instagram, you can apparently download all your photos, media, etc., beforehand.

Check out Pixelfed—it's a decentralized alternative to Instagram, though it’s no surprise that Meta seems to be suppressing it:

Anyone who is surprised about billionaires bankrolling rightwing extremists and tech ceos bending over for them: It's history repeating itself. Fascists are a tool used by the capitalist class to control the working class into supporting things that are against the working classes own interests.

Morning folks. 👋
Of course I wish all of you the very best day possible, but to be honest, the events of the past week and the behavior of the higher-ups at Blue Sky make me question my involvement here.
I think decisions have to be made soon.

I just wish they would for once reduce the CEO and upper management income, instead of making those who actually create the value (the employees) suffer by thanking them with unemployment.
