If any of y’all were curious of Beeper when it came out (a Matrix backed chat app) but weren’t able to get an invite for whatever reason, then here ya go! Feel free to ask any questions about it if you got any! (No I don’t work for Beeper, just like this more than Element and self-hosting)
Oh wow. Really, really loving this. If I had an easy way to port my magazines/block list I'd switch to artemis.camp immediately just to use this daily. Fantastic work!
Consumers are losing here no matter what happened. Either MS buys AB and we get a more consolidated industry, or they don't, and we either continue with the shit show that is AB right now until TenCent buys them an consolidates them in a different, likely worse, more anti consumer way.

I know I'm extrapolating this news too far but every time I see news like this it adds on to the reasons why I think this country will never have the will for a general strike.

My favorite part about this saying is that it originated as silly way to describe an impossible task (getting oneself out of quicksand by pulling on your own hair). Braindead capitalists completely missed the point and adopted it as an actual rallying cry in one of the greatest instance of irony that I can think of.
If this is true, Prigozhin, Putin, or MoD will be dead within a week. No way this will be sustainable. Prigozhin made himself the defacto #2 and defied the regime without consequences. Putin only got more time in office without civil war. It feels like this is far from over.
While President Joe Biden was calling on Congress in November to pass legislation to implement the agreement, he stressed that he would continue to encourage the railroads to guarantee paid sick time for their employees....
This was something I and many other progressives were wildly critical of the Biden administration for abandoning. I'm glad to see this was rectified and hope this story spreads.
