@riley I want a coding AI to create a version of Luxor with hallucinations as part of the game. That could be fun, actually.

I think we've agreed here that the solution you describe (1) is doable, (2) doesn't solve the underlying abuse problem at all, and (3) nobody in power wants to implement a privacy-preserving solution because "protecting children" is just a cover-story for increasing surveillance.
@mym Trashcan with 2fa. (Don't tell the techbros -- they'll add on unsecured wifi and make it a surveillance tool. "This device may transmit metrics regarding the nature of your discarded materials for statistical analysis in order to bring you the best possible disposal experience.")
@ceejbot I want to say encouraging words, but I also don't want to jinx it.
Relatedly, thinking about the bicentennial always makes me think of the "U.S. of Archie" Saturday morning cartoon. Apparently that is my one big take-away. :blobcatthinkingportal:
Does #Loops yet fully federate with #PeerTube? Can I subscribe to Loops users and watch their videos from within PeerTube and/or the other way around?

@Natasha_Jay Dang birds. Always way too chirpy.

Friends, asking for accounts on Mastodon or organizations that are about low vision resources. I am losing my sight (not from macular degeneration) and want to connect with others like me. It's pretty devastating for someone who's been an artist and photographer all my life, but accessibillity options are greatly improving. Currently using Zoom, Magnify and VoiceOver on the iphone. Looking for connection and inspiration and your well wishes too! #lowvision #accessibility
@quinn Yes! Exactly. What practices was that baker using which allowed the bread to get moldy, why didn't the last inspection catch it...
@cmccullough There are better ways.
Having an option for donations and then pretty much never mentioning it again unless asked directly has worked well* for me. People want to make good things work.

@quinn So many problems that are popularly blamed on individuals or even easily-identifiable groups are really systemic problems at the core.
I've kinda gotten in the habit of always looking for the systemic issue, whenever I find myself blaming a group or individual: How did that group or individual gain enough power to be the problem's epicenter in the first place?
@farah Oops, I need to fix the one that links to the server...
[update] Fixed. (For some reason, Discord on my laptop has stopped providing a "copy link" option in the right-click menu. >.<)
@CptSuperlative I wonder if it would help to come up with a flag specifically to represent the current regime, mainly so we can put a 🚫 over it. (It would have to be a new one, to avoid confusion.)

[severe work-ethic voice, think of the Amway bit from "Snowball in Hell"] Well I'm sure they must have also started a fediverse account, and posted a link to that from their X account in case it was deleted.

@CptSuperlative [Re-]Appropriation also will require getting those narratives broadcast, somehow (and I don't necessarily mean mainstream-media-broadcast; just in the most general sense).
There's definitely plenty of material to work with now, and many sources to draw from. I can imagine myself writing a lot of material in this vein.
The other part, though, is how to get it out there to the "patriots" who really need to listen to it.
