       @Mastodon remember when responsible companies and government entities that needed communications have their own websites with links to a web interface on a bulletin board system, which could also be reached by modem, and their own forums for feedback and email response forums?  That was cheap, that was easy, and it was almost universal. Why the heck did that go away?

       @gcluley We want that fixed? (I really don't care) Quick, someone ask about Musk and how to run into him!  We can schedule protests and he will not be able to avoid them until it gets fixed. 😁

       @davidrevoy @blueluma @peertube I have been following your work and enjoying it very much, starting from before this AI bubble inflated. Anyone who could make such an accusation is simply ignorant. I have to admit, some of your work actually looks too good to be a human construct: but I know better.

       @davidrevoy @momo Personally, I treasure every one of them.  They do ring so true, but that is part of what makes them amusing. And brilliant.

       @fsf Retired. fixed and shrinking income under this current economy and due to the depredations of this administration.  I have contributed, but on a monthly basis is getting harder and harder.

       @Tutanota @volla freedom. I mean, freedom from about six kinds of monitoring and tracking just to start.

       @davidrevoy @creativecommons the only way I have found to deal with those people that gives any satisfaction at all is a scrape trap. Make sure there's a link early on every page, preferably hidden from human view, that links to a looping pseudo-random generator of text and generated images. It must contain several links back into the loop at a new address, so the scraper will scrape total garbage, and then follow the links to scrape additional total garbage forever. If we cannot shoot them and we cannot lock them, we can at least poison the well.
