I'm not having any problems at all with my dopamine fix. The Fediverse has reached that critical threshold where there's no shortage of typos to make fun of with snarky replies and people willingly walking into dad jokes.
So yeah, I'm good 👍
I second this. I haven't got a certification in like decades but an accessibility certification sounds fantastic.
There hasn't been an IT certification I've seen in forever where I was like, "yeah I can't just go and learn that on my own" but one that's all about accessibility does sound like something I couldn't just learn on my own... since I'm not disabled/blind and don't know anyone who is.
What I really want is to learn about accessibility testing. Oh man that'd be like having a superpower! With a skill like that I'd be useful to literally any and every FOSS team that exists!
Aside: I am blind in one eye so I'm one accident away from actually being blind some day. I should learn this stuff now just in case!
I don't know about you but I subscribed to /m/piracy for the anti-establishment commentary 👍
Always root for the little guy! 😁
AITruthBot will be just downvoted into oblivion on half of social media. They'll call it, "liberal propaganda bot"

You don't want an FDA, CDC, DOJ, EPA, IRS, etc‽ What about the FCC or FAA?
I am with you on rural America getting the short end of the Internet stick! It's just that historically we've given ISPs over $400 billion dollars and they didn't hold up their end of the bargain:

Giving them more money isn't going to solve the problem. We're at that phase of the game where we need to stop letting them scam us and just do it ourselves. We already build our own roads which is vastly more complicated and requires much more money than laying fiber. If we can make interstates we can lay down fiber optic cable.
We can charge ISPs for the privilege to use it and make different ISPs compete on the same physical network. That's how it works in many countries and it's a perfectly legitimate way to make ISPs incredibly angry which I think we can all agree would be an ideal outcome. If they don't like it we can set up a time next week between 10AM and 4PM to wait for us to show up to discuss. When we don't show up we will make them call to reschedule 👍
Can you do us all a favor and blog about your experience setting this up and running it somewhere? I'll follow you 👍
I was thinking about making my own Federated kbin-like server (writing the code from scratch) as an academic exercise. I'm a full stack developer and it's the perfect thing to hone my non-embedded (full std) Rust skills and freshen my JavaScript skills.
I have several side projects going on at the moment (that I've been working on constantly for almost three years straight) and I need a mental break from that. I'd love to learn what's a pain in the ass VS what's good from a semi-layman's perspective so I can make something better.
I may be just a pie-in-the-sky optimist but I think the duplicate communities thing will die down eventually. Natural selection will do it's thing and we'll all eventually settle in specific communities on specific instances.
Based on the nature of life itself all living things become specialized over time. This includes creatures, jobs, products, communities, etc. So what's likely to happen is some communities will die out or be abandoned while others will thrive and yet others will simply become more specialized.
Hypothetical example: /m/gifs on Kbin might become the place to find perfect loops and high quality/serious stuff while /m/gifs on some other instance might become the place for animated silliness.

You can't change someone's mind with facts and logic if facts and logic weren't used to make up their mind in the first place.
You also can't change someone's mind about any given topic if their stance on that topic is part of their identity. To a conservative, their very core identity/belief is that everyone is made "by God" exactly the way they're supposed to be. Before you could get them to believe that something like gender dysphoria is real you'd first have to make them believe that their religion is wrong.
