hi frogzone hear! im still alive

i realise everyone has probably forgotten me and with think, who is this spammer, but after 9 months without fediverse, I figured that i better login to explain myself.

Basically near the start of the year two things happened at the same time to make it impossible to access fedi. Anyway Im enabling #javascript in a browser now to tell you this but i NEVER enable javascript in this browser normally and will probably disable it again, hopefully not for 9 months but this #distrohop is a BIG one, more like a distro-leap! @nimda it would really help if the #BloatFE interface was available over #i2p. @silverpil is there anyway to force a non-js experience, using a specific uri combo? FYI ive been recommending #mitra more in the meatspace lately, so heads up you may be getting more traffic??? or not.... lol

@gabriel i LOVED ur interview on #corbettReport, it is disconcerting to see his non-acknowledgment of your interest in #fediverse. He has known about fedi for a long time and probably should have known better than to pump S.S. (i mean sCRubstack), anyway sorry to hear u were set upon by S.S. drones. I've been meaning to inform u that your libresolutionsnetork.i2p site is broken, it redirects to gabe.i2p, so i may be missing out on insights. i was enjoying your updates on ur health drive but havnt been able to keep upto date lately.

The recent #openSource orgs sign onto the #unitedNations pact is super creepy. The last clause, ie. to do the bidding of the United Nations makes me a bit squeemish, just because we all saw covid, right? Even the other clauses about "diversity and inclusion" a nasty, and seem to require developers identify themselves, meaning no more anonymous contributions? i expect better from the #libreoffice folks that to sign onto something like this (i already knew #gnome were heading down a nasty path by their locked-down communication channels). My feeling is this is a result of the engineered #inflation ( #covid / #nft / #moneylaundering) crises means people are grasping at straws to maintain their income and status, forcing developers to accept ridiculous contracts. i dont know. Maybe im talking out a nether orifice. If i hear that everyone is plotting forks of LibreOffice and GNOME, it wouldnt surprise me.

I'm also interested in what appears to be the lawfare-based extortion of archive.org, not able to research it lately. I bet a billion bitcoins (that will never exist, because bitcoin is capped at 21 million) that #archiveDotOrg no longer accept #bitcoin donations. AMIRIGHT? (i dunno again I might be wrong, i literally have not checked, lol but seriously they are partnering with the US government to be a repo of govt documents??? now???)

The word of the day is '#SUSPECT'

... and remember everyone, #iran is to blame for ALL OF IT. including of cause the genocide that almost everyone on fedi knew was a #genocide almost 2 years ago. Why would it take 2 years for people on corporate media pratforms to work this out.... INSERT THINKING EMOJI

anyway there is so much to talk about and i will not be able to do it now. and will not be checking messages, because my connection is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad now. and i'll be here forever and die. so this is just a i'm still alive, just working thru technical coincidental problems.

love you all, and hopefully i can be online proper, in the near future.

Today I have the distinct honor of representing @Mastodon as we are acknowledged by the Digital Public Goods Alliance during the United Nations Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies's Open Source Week.

This news comes at a time when it has never been more imperative for public institutions to communicate directly with their constituents. Rarely in history have we trusted the truth and trusted each other less than we do today. Mastodon provides the infrastructure for organizations to maintain sovereignty over their digital presence, and empowers them to reach out to citizens without algorithmic barriers or paid promotion.

Recognition of Mastodon as a digital public good validates our commitment to building transparent, ethical technology that serves people over profit. Because truly, our values drive everything we do. We believe that true digital freedom comes from the ability of communities to connect, learn, and play together, while preserving each community's right to self-determination.

This recognition belongs to our entire community: every instance admin, developer, and fedizen who believes in building a more human-centered internet. Together, we're showing the world that social media can be transparent, ethical, and community-driven. We're proud to be part of a movement that puts people first and proves that genuine connections flourish when communities have the freedom to govern themselves.

Thank you 💞
