The paradox of productivity in 2018 is even if you're writing a quantum tech article whilst simultaneously dogwalking, podcasting your fourth Ph. D, & inventing the next revolutionary drudge-work-automating app (that will be consumed by a tech giant), you'll always be making not-enough per hour for a dignified existence.

No amount of neurohack pills, 180-hour crunches and AI assistants will ever free us, because neofeudal capitalism will consume all abundance.

The wheel must break.

In Portugal ist es jetzt wohl sehr viel leichter für trans Personen ihren Namen und Personenstand ändern zu lassen 🎉

Und Operationen an intersexuellen Kindern sind wohl auch verboten. 🎉

🎵 What do I have to do to make you truuuust me 🎵

Do I have to sign with GPG?
Will we meet secretly and
do the OTR handshake dance?
Should I push a signed commit?

Will you trust my toots or tweets or boosts or …
If I call you late at night and oh so softly tell you
My Threema code
Or should I simply add a ✅ to my nick?

Death curiously released the soul from the body.
"Am I dead?" it asked.
"Yes. The first of your kind," Death said.
The robot's soul smiled.

Kennt jemand ne Rechtsschutzversicherung, die auch bei "Wurde von Bullen gehauen und wird nun wegen Körperverletzung/Widerstand gegen Bullen verklagt" hilft?

On average, our instance's local timeline is nice and has a cool overview over our local accounts and activities. Sometimes though, single users post a *lot* in a short amount of time (bots, too). Imo many of those posts should be followers-only, since they'll still reach the people they're meant for, without spamming the local timeline.

Not sure how local timelines have developed on other instances, but I'd be interested to hear about yours! #boost
