Last Friday of each month, I organized some of the observations and ideas shared on social networks. I call it Friday finds.
“If you stay on a corporate social media platform because the people you follow are still there, consider others also stay there because you are still there. Someone has to start the move. Be that person.
Leave x for good.
Leave Facebook forever.
Remember that the blue sky ends up becoming gray.
Kiss social media that cannot be sold to a billionaire. Kiss the fediverse“”

“Fascism begins the moment when a ruling class, fearing that the people can use their political democracy to win an economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to maintain their power of exploitation and special privileges.” –Tommy Douglas
“Remember when you were a child and the adults asked you what you would do if everyone you knew jumps from a cliff?” Do you want too? Now you know. –@Jeremymallin
Can we spend time discussing slack? As in, why do we all send each of our thoughts to a centralized server that can be hacked and can cause AI with them? And why is Slack allowed to store transcriptions but I can't?
My union uses Slack for the organization. How crazy is that a crazy organization in a dangerous and embracing government doing this? With everything that is happening right now, I would like to be more active in the union, but should I really give up so much to this opaque platform?
Anyone else struggling with these concerns? Do you know viable release alternatives? Are there hacks that make slack less than an invasion of privacy or make LLM training more difficult? Are there at least means for me to save sessions like I can with IRC? How to resist Slack and not lose contact with groups that still use it?

In “Parabe of the Sower”, the 15 -year -old protagonist of the novel, Lauren Olamina, writes a simple newspaper entrance: Saturday, February 1, 2025: “We had a fire today. People worry so much about fire. ”
– What takes place in the following pages is a dystopian world surrounding the racial fictitious and fictitious community of Robledo, California.
—A the new drug obliges drug addicts to make fires in the communities, which steal and then violated the victims. People Mal Diens travel the streets and are forced to fly to survive. Hurricane, fires and violence push the Americans to flee north in Canada.
“Pres, like President Trump,” promises to restore the country to his former glory.
– Ricually mixed couples, like the black / chicano family of Olamina, are vulnerable to attacks, and her parents, the two doctoral holders, have limited job opportunities.
