@CactuarJoe was it terrible? YES. The worst of the year? Not even close

And Yog-Sothoth fucks off back into the transdimensional spaces from whence he came. Well, that sure was a movie!

Thanks @Taweret for hosting.

A/I may be ending. The story is nowhere near over.

For twenty-five years, #AutisticiInventati showed what it could mean for movements to build and control their own communications infrastructure. Its loss should not send everyone searching for the next single service to replace it.

It should send us looking in a hundred directions.

In Boise, the Boise Autonomous Solidarity Hub is experimenting with one of them. @BASH has put a small independent publication on NomadNet, a system running over Reticulum rather than relying solely on the conventional web. It has articles, archives, submissions and contact functions, reachable through a cryptographic network destination instead of an ordinary domain.

That is not the answer. That's what makes it interesting.

Other projects are trying other things: cooperative infrastructure, self-managed servers, RSS, mirrors, print, radio, downloadable archives, federated publishing and networks that barely resemble the commercial web at all.

We don't need to find another A/I. We need to understand how to build a thousand different pieces of what made A/I possible.

Sabot is beginning a living guide to autonomous media and infrastructure, aimed especially at small and rural projects: how to publish, archive, distribute, host, mirror and keep going when a platform, host, domain, provider or collective disappears.

Coming Soon:

BECOME THE THOUSAND SERVERS

A living guide to autonomous publishing, infrastructure and survival

Follow the people experimenting. Follow small radical media. Preserve what matters.

Then build something.

Today is #diday the Digital Independence Day. You know what we still need? A European alternative to US tech messaging apps like WhatsApp or Signal!

And that is #matrix and this is why we make #fluffychat 💪

@GeePawHill
Yes. I wonder, though, how to win within the rules against a player who breaks the rules. I do understand the righteous feeling that at leastwe didn't break the rules ... but how can we get unfucked within the rules against those who have no rules?

Okay, I did like those two (2) frames of tentacle-headed monster from outer space

Japan likely sold a portion of its holdings of foreign securities, including U.S. Treasurys, to finance its record currency intervention over the past month. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/09/07/markets/japan-treasuries-sell-for-yen/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #yen #dollar #forex #financeministry

Thinking about the garden today, and how the chiles have been the most successful and have brought me the most happiness this year. 🌶️😊

Also been thinking about those things that I keep trying to grow, but which don’t ever work out very well. It’s time to say goodbye to those and maybe try some new things. I’d like more of a happy Bob Ross kinda garden that feels less of a chore, especially as summers keep getting hotter and drier. 🪴🎨

It’s an apocalyptic day for night, and you are a horrible goose #monsterdon

@dansup before I got hired to Mastodon I was considering Bluesky. The more I see these sorts of things, the happier I am that it all worked out the way it did

@davidgerard well i woke up and wasn't a paperclip so

"Mystifizierte Frauenfiguren wie Maria [...] prägen bis heute unser Verständnis davon was es heißt Mutter zu sein. Allein die Unvereinbarkeit von Jungfräulichkeit und Mutterschaft zeigt, welchem absurden Frauenbild die bis heute gestellten Erwartungen an Mütter entspringen." 🤔

Rodger Corman was the progenitor of "Don't show the monster", today a popular position in horror movie project (mostly because...he couldn't afford to.)

@Alice This whole feature had to have been thought up by a stoner. “Dude . . .”
