I think Meow is down

Is Meow down?

Broke: Megabits per second

Woke: MegaBleps per second

The fennec wishes to become immersed in pumpkin spice *everything* 😃 🎃

Might get really deep into slice of life anime as a form of escapism...

Or I could maybe find more hobbies instead of escapes. I'm at a sort of impasse in terms of strategies for taking care of myself 😅

Broke: Ban TikTok

Woke: Ban Facebook, Google, Twitter

An arbitrary ban hammer can only end in the death of the internet. We'll lose our ability to spread information globally, and we'll lose the ability to spread information freely. The undoing of these two things undo the entire purpose of the internet

If the US government genuinely feels that TikTok poses a legitimate concern to national security (which I find borderline impossible to imagine), then this is a rare example of a situation that actually *is* a technical problem.

Enact law to put pressure on Google and Apple to make sure data leaks can't happen. If the US is serious that they need people to use domestic social networks instead, then they should maybe go as far as to subsidize their production if necessary

The ban of certain select apps is incredibly dangerous because of how it has the potential to inevitably fracture the internet along country lines. The internet is an invaluable tool for sharing perspective and distributing information. People are able to realize that their government is not the embodiment of themselves, and that country does not intrinsically dictate dissimilarity between us.

I really like this masto thing and I'm really glad y'all are here 🙂

Am I depressed? 🤔

*feels the facial hair really growing in, notices the blinds are closed, notices it's noon and I haven't eaten breakfast*

Maybe...?

*is fluffy*

What's going on with radical.town?
