Is the banana for scale?

I’ve also seen Bike Downtown Santa Monica

In some cases you trade the purchase history information for the 2% cash back or whatever.

You can also use a service like privacy.com to get credit card numbers for online services for a modicum of privacy.

I had friends who were addicted to ingress even though they knew it was vacuuming up their usage data, years before Pokemon Go

More like they can learn what the corner of the bank looks like

Also Obligatory: “You can pay for something and still be the product”

Yes, and if you follow people you’re interested in. There is an account called https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows which posts themed lists of interesting accounts. I followed Cory Doctorow because I knew he was on Mastodon, and then followed a lot of people who posted interesting posts that came across my feed from people I didn’t follow yet. There’s no algorithm so you discover stuff more naturally as people you follow share stuff, and you decide to follow that too

It’s true. When the power is out because of snow is the best because the cars drive less

Every day that I play Pokemon Go, I’m aware that I’m making a Faustian bargain for motivation to take a walk in exchange for my privacy.

I like taking a walk / being outside, because all of the power tools/ leaf blowers/ ac units are shut off and the world is finally quiet

Yeah I don’t know why, I never really got twitter. But Mastodon was addictive for me. I always want to see what people are posting

Not right now, except that it’s going to follow the same cycle as everything else: good to users at first, good to shareholders at the end.

Build an account on Mastodon if you want to escape the cycle and tangle with different problems ;)

It really is nice there; people seem to like talking to each other about varied things, but it is smaller than Twitter so you may need to be on mastodon for some things and Bluesky for others you can’t get on mastodon

What if the whole survey is just a ploy for donations

What’s ‘articles’ hobbitses?

Like what are the logistics here? It’s hard to get trees out of the ground.

Someone did this for 60 trees overnight without get bored? Sounds like hard work to me

What was that looped recording that already did this really well?

Nothing, and it’s already run by web3 folk

Like making a datacenter so hungry it needs an obsolete nuclear plant, yeah. They should be building new nuclear for existing datacenters.

You lost me. I’m talking about how schools can’t/shouldn’t tell you you can’t bring a phone to school when what they really care about is that you aren’t seen with one and don’t use it. (And if someone steals it that’s obviously on you).
