Took the effort to cut the "#Trump endorsement" 😆 from the recent South Park episode

As a Meta employee, I can honestly tell you what we know, and I do not know how we obtain all of it.

* Your full name
* Your full home address
* Your phone number
* Your e-mail
* Your government ID
* Your consumer report history
* The name of every family member
* The name of every friend
* The name of their family / friends
* Your marital status
* If you are faithful to your partner
* Your work history (all of it)
* Your education history (all of it)
* Your travel history (going back years)
* Your birth gender
* Your gender ID
* Your sexuality
* Your sexual preferences
* How often you're having sex
* Your partner's details (all the above)
* Your political ideology
* Your involvement with any group
* If you protest, we know
* If you're unhappy, we know

The amount of information we collect on you is insane. And we do it all for supposedly marketing and yes, we help the government since they have access to all this too.

So when someone says they want to avoid META or GOOGLE - respect.

Brandolini’s Law states, “The amount of energy needed to refute bullsh*t is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.”

The amount of bullsh*t in a recent WSJ OpEd by propagandist Sad Dhume is breathtaking. Here, I rebuke this dangerous fascism:

Welcome to metalhead.club @deadhournoise 🎸

Is this you on Bandcamp :bandcamp: ?

If you are using undocumented immigrants' tax records to find and kidnap them, then it was never about them paying taxes.

If you are showing up at their place of employment, then it was never about them not working.

If you are showing up at courthouses, then it was never about getting them to "do it the right way".

If you are kidnapping women and children, then it was never about criminals.

If you're refusing to give them due process, then it was never about the Constitution.

If you are building concentration camps in Florida to keep them here in cages, then it was never about the border.

If you're spending billions to do this, then it was never about the economy.

And if you're doing all this in the name of a 34 time convicted felon, then it was never about following the law.

Wow.

Absolute home run ad from Rep. Eric Swalwell

Fanta and Creamsicle are about to go to their forever home. We’ve had a wonderful time fostering these little maniacs.

Ugh.. Every time we open signups within no time accounts with the display name "Kate Scott" and a variant of that username signs up with a custom email domain and floods links to CSAM content..

Feels a bit like a 'targeted attack' to get our instance down perhaps

Good thing we are classified as a social network with our hosting provider Hetzner so that reports always go through us first!

Still, oof..

The closing thank you slide in my talk yesterday had my profile photo from here and a link to my profile, and I actually had multiple people come up afterward saying they were signing up here after meaning to for some time. Guess I'll keep that as my last slide going forward.

What is my IP?

So I just whipped up a tiny Kitten app that tells you what your IP address is.

Yes, there are dozens of such services. But I wanted something I trust (because I built and host it).

Please feel free to use it.

• JSON API: https://ip.small-web.org/json/

Enjoy!

Announcing: https://justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!
