Tech workers who make 6-7 figures a year destroyed the income of freelancers earning pennies and we called it progress.

@Gargron I thought I joined mastodon to find tech and news content. I was wrong.

I am here exclusively for #catsofmastodon

@nixCraft every browser should have this

@nixCraft I mean, the result of the unlimited power was...uh...not great though

@nixCraft I love how we're desperately concerned about mars, the metaverse and AI but we still can't make basic video meetings and printers work

@itsfoss but we have...uh.......AI. Everywhere. In everything. All the time. Please send help.

@nixCraft *wearily puts up hand*

@Gargron oh my god I love these. Like...would buy one.

@nixCraft I both love windows, and simultaneously hate this with the fire of a thousand suns

I'm offering a service where I'll perform limited trolling and bigotry for new Mastodon users to help them move away from X without too much culture shock.

$9.99 a month. Blue check not included.

But we can’t debate that ad platforms need to take their own duty of care seriously.

Never forget.

The single greatest Twitter exchange of all time.

Of.

All.
