@liaizon OF COURSE. But only after you explain why there is no yellow mastodon button 😂
Counter culture is a culture where you add as many counters as possible, so you can track user activity. Right?
@liaizon neoliberal nonsense - that’s what it means…
@liaizon now ask @mozilla how much of it is LLM generated!
Oh wait, they decided having a Mastodon presence was too expensive and that money was better spent on <checks notes> well going by their financials, just setting it on fire.
counter culture: thats when you order a coffee from behind the counter of la colombe before you login to slack on your ipad pro right?
counter culture is when google hands you $500 million per year across the counter to be the default search engine in firefox
counter culture is paying your ceo $6.9 mil a year and removing rss support and shipping proprietary google DRM by default
this map of "the post-naive generation" they posted is very crypto pilled. Nina and metalabel are both NFT projects. Trust is basically a blockchain co-working space in Berlin (one I have hung out at quite a bit in the past)
@liaizon what even _is_ this horseshit
@brennen I have no idea what they are on about tbh https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/nothing-personal/the-post-naive-internet-era/

@liaizon wonder how many of these were non-functional during the recent AWS outage 😂
@liaizon wtf is "post-naive" now?
@liaizon ok read the article and? ok? I guess? I love that in spite of what you pointed they start with "We thought that web3 could be a real alternative; but have come to accept that blockchains seem to be far more useful to financialize the world rather than to democratize it" :')
Also when you think about it, their map doesn't really make sense, it's just a list? The position & size of the various actors relative to each other doesn't really mean anything?
"I’m excited to expand its influence, scale the pluralistic solutions we need, and co-design projects with partners from social movements to *web3 communities*" says the new Executive Director of RadicalxChange
lol so I guess RadicalxChange was founded by Glen Weyl in 2018. he just pubically interviewed Mencius Moldbug/Curtis Yarvin 1 month ago [ Should the U.S. Be Ruled by a CEO Dictator? Curtis Yarvin debates E. Glen Weyl ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irc6creOFGs

@liaizon the semi-fungible token is rotating in my head now. all the drawbacks of nfts without any of the novelty of uniqueness
@timmy I have no idea why they would want to build this on solana, I think they were riding the nft hype train at the time and it seemed like the way to get funding. @gavcloud I remember you were or are into them, do you know any positive stuff about them? I really only looked into the solana stuff and was like eh whyyyy

@liaizon And attending the Advertising Week conference in New York City, to promote in-browser programmatic advertising
@dmarti what are they doing? so so dumb
@liaizon This is what they're doing: "Mozilla Taps Index Exchange as First Programmatic Partner" https://www.adweek.com/media/mozilla-index-exchange-first-programmatic-partner/
(Usually when a counter culture firm or project gets some coverage in the mainstream industry news, they make a big deal out of it. Did this Adweek piece show up in any of Mozilla's "community" updates?)
@liaizon
That must be the big, yellow Mastodon button in the centre of the image.
