I miss the internet

I know this is going to make me sound old โ€“ but I miss the internet.

The real internet. The one we used to have. Before it all got so much less โ€“ and somehow so much more โ€“ complicated.

I went online for the first time around 2001. The 90s had ended, and the world was coming online while I was coming out of my shell and becoming more self-aware.

Handy bilingual mnemonic for tool use. ๐Ÿช›๐Ÿ”ฉ

#English #Spanish #screw #unscrew #tools #mnemonic

"Rightie tightie, leftie loosie" in Spanish is 
"la derecha oprime, la izquierda libera." 

[image of a screw with a curved arrow pointing to the left, another identical screw image with an arrow pointing to the right] 

Meaning: 
"the right oppresses, the left liberates."

The Spanish words 'aรฑo' ('year') and 'Espaรฑa' ('Spain') contain the letter รฑ, which is called eรฑe.

It comes from a double nn. One of the n's was abbreviated as a squiggle on top of the other: รฑ.

For instance, 'aรฑo' comes from Latin 'annum' with nn.

However, 'puรฑo', 'Espaรฑa' and 'viรฑa' come from 'pลซgnum', 'Hispฤniam' and 'vฤซneam', which didn't have nn.

My graphic explains how they got their รฑ:

Itโ€™s been a long road from Republicans fear mongering about Obamacare leading to โ€œdeath panelsโ€ to complaining that taxpayers spend too much money keeping chronically ill people alive.

Fun fact:

When Franklin Roosevelt started a foundation to fight polio, Comedian Eddie Cantor came up with the "March of Dimes", asking people to mail a dime to the White House. They were soon overwhelmed with 2,680,000 dimes mailed to them, literally truckloads, mostly from children. These dimes went directly to research that resulted in the Polio vaccine.
This is why Roosevelt is on the U.S. dime.

Found this last night on #Reddit. Yup.

#Mastodon #SocialNetworking

I have been using Mastodon for a couple of years now, and while the privacy focus is part of the shift, the bigger shift is understanding that Twitter and Mastodon are not competitors. PixelFed and Instagram are not competitors.

The old platforms are social media. They are entertainment platforms that nominally connect you to friends. But their actual customers are advertisers and entertainers (influencers?)

The new federated platforms are social networking. They're community-owned and operated for the sole purpose of serving a community. They don't have customers, they have members. They are collaborative efforts run by individuals and not-for-profits.
