We Are Updating Our Occult Privacy Policy

At some point in the last few years, we have:

) Viewed you through a scrying pool and/or mirror
) Crafted a double of you from blood and willpower and used it to manipulate your moods and actions and/or
) Sunk into a dark liquid pool, then rose again to the surface but the surface was your eyes, through which we saw all you saw, thought as you thought, as intimate as breath.

Due to new legislation, now we have to ask:
Can we keep doing all that?

It's probably just me. If driving were as dangerous as it seems, hundreds of people would be dying every day!

Habría que advertir a las niñas que van a ver la película "La bella y la bestia", que muchas mujeres han muerto por pensar que dentro de una bestia había un príncipe azul, y que si este príncipe no salía, era porque ellas estaban haciendo algo mal.

So now Medium is changing their rules, and so many who published their content on Medium are upset.

Where have we seen this before? Um, on every "free" service that is controlled by some corporation instead of by users.

The mastoverse, as part of an assignment for a uni subject. More visualizations soon #gephi #dataviz

remember when we wasted CPU cycles finding aliens and curing cancer instead of altcoins no one gives a shit about 🤔

Decentralize your world.

There is of course #mastodon as federated social media.

There is good old #email as federated postbox (as long as not everyone uses GMail).

There is #peertube as a federated video platform.

There is #Riot / Matrix.org as federated group messaging.

There is #XMPP for federated 1on1 messaging.

And there is #nextcloud as federated cloud storage.

In theory most services are already federated. We only miss more users :)

En esta semana nos enteramos que Twitter vendió datos a Cambridge Analytica y que no cifra las contraseñas. Sabíamos que censuran y bloquean cuentas,

*gasp* Facebook weakened WhatsApp encryption so they could open it up for businesses by selling user data and making a profit

Oh wait, no. That’s not surprising at all

I wish I could explain to people who are privileged one way or another, that it doesn't mean your entire life is handed to you in a silver platter. Being a white male doesn't mean you can't be poor or can't be gay (thus discriminated) or that you can't a slew of other problems.

It just means you don't have those problems *in addition to* also being discriminated for being a woman, for being black, for being anything else.
