  • Mastodon

    Hi everyone.

    I started hosting a mastodon instance at social.tilde.team.

    Check it out if you want some federated open source social goodness :)

    Send me a toot @ben@tilde.team (from any mastodon instance!)

    Thanks!

    Update: our mastodon instance is at tilde.zone.

  • Net neutrality vote today

    Everybody! We only have UNTIL TOMORROW to fight the FCC & the repeal of #NetNeutrality! Repealing Net Neutrality would result in an unequal access to online content including research, social/political organizing, and personal media. It would also allow powerhouse companies providing internet to charge more for regular quality internet, and charge certain users more than others. HERE’S A WAY TO ACT – takes less than a minute.

    1. Go to gofccyourself.com (the shortcut John Oliver made to the hard-to-find FCC comment page)
    2. Click on the 17-108 link (Restoring Internet Freedom)
    3. Click on “express”
    4. Be sure to hit “ENTER” after you put in your name & info so it registers.
    5. In the comment section write, “I strongly support net neutrality backed by Title 2 oversight of ISPs.”
    6. Click to submit, done. – Make sure you hit submit at the end!

    Copy and paste this into your own status update! Seriously, this is simple and so important. Do it.

  • Blog update

    Sorry for the blast of posts. I recreated them from a wordpress blog on motd.org.

    I plan on posting some random thoughts here from time to time. Thanks for checking in.

    • Wer später bremst, fährt länger schnell.
    • Cola schmeckt besser als aus dem Glas!!!
    • Zu Fuß ist schneller als übern Berg!
    • Was ist weiß und wandert den Berg hinauf? Eine Lawine mit Heimweh.
    • Das Pferd ist vorne hinten als höher.

    I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment.

    For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong.

    In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies.

    We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite.

    So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there.

    Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder.

    In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality.

    I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things.

    It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric.

    I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness.

    You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.

    Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn’t take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once.

    It’s clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts.

    You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother’s mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
