Hopelessly alone in a world that’s always online.

#Loneliness, the silent scroll,
A #TikTok loop that takes its toll.
Endless feeds, but hearts on mute,
A DM world, yet no salute.

We’re all like stars in #Netflix skies,
Bright but distant, no replies.
A #playlist full, but ears won’t hear,
The #sound of #silence, loud and clear.

It’s the ghost in the #algorithm’s #maze,
The echo in a viral haze.
A #selfie world, but no one’s there,
Just pixels floating in thin air.

So here I stand, a lone #profile,
A #meme of sorrow, lost for a while.
In this age of streams and endless light,
Loneliness is the quiet fight.

Hopelessly #alone
In a world that’s always #online.

Some people have asked about my @omgdotlol account. They want to know what it is. Or simply why it is?

I’m not really sure how to respond It’s just fun and interesting. It feels like the small web. The “web 1.0” (which wasn’t even called that at the time) but with modern tools.

And @adam is good people. He cares about his products and the people using them.

Check it out. Maybe join us.

Out there, in the worrying world of today is a little #Zilog #Z80 computer with a mere 64KB of #RAM and running the #1970s CP/M operating system.

This little machine is connected to the #intertubes and it's serving a #singleuser #bulletinboardsystem for you, the worrying souls of #yesteryears to visit.

Take a break from today, connect like it's 1985 - here on RC-BOX BBS, the world's first and (currently) only #rc2014 based bulletin board system in the world!

Check out the #alttext or my #profile info for information on how to connect.

I manually review accounts who want to follow me (too many bot and scam waves). I automatically reject empty accounts!

If you don't want to be mistaken for a fake account, fill out your profile, post something that shows you as a human, only then follow people. How to: fedi.tips/how-do-i-customise-m

Woke up a bit earlier than usual this morning and while I was waiting on the wife to get home from work, I decided to update my Mastodon profile.

It was a bit short due to being limited from when I was running AllThingsTech.social so I decided to expand it a bit and make it not look so clunky.

Hopefully it helps make it a bit more clear as to the things I like and am interested here within the #Fediverse, especially for the new users who might view my profile and wonder if I'm worthy of a follow.

I even took a bit of inspiration from @alice_watson with regards to how I presented the hashtags!

"When he started acting, that was his goal: to be an enigma, a shape-shifter, a performer who vanished into roles. The problem was that from the moment he became famous, audiences wanted something different." —Sam Parker for GQ

(12/N) A fifth category of adversaries:

🦕 Business(i)es

#Business​(i)es want to extract #profit from you. Preferably, but not necessarily in legal, sustainable, and the cheapest possible ways.

Your assets are seen as levers to generate more profit, because they betray what is meaningful to you, and worth investing into, in your eyes.

Businessies disguise their factual indifference towards your specific assets by enthusiastically pretending to "care" as much for them as you do, to achieve the "Nessie effect": on the surface, always appear likeable, despite your size, and in spite of what you are actually pursuing under the surface.

This category is the widest of all. Nearly all businessies participate in #SurveillanceCapitalism, either by directly aggregating every tidbit of your data in a #profile, in return for a service that is allegedly "free" – and later selling targeted access to you; or by paying #DataBrokers for access to potential customers that fit very specific criteria.

MastodonDEtuxwise (@tuxwise@mastodon.de)(1/N) With more challenging times ahead, the #4D​s will become more important, too: ✋ **Defend** your boundaries: know what matters to you, and properly safeguard it – instead of being an alert-driven option tinkerer. 🪪 **Define** yourself: use multiple identities that focus on a single purpose each – instead of having everything you do, have and think linked back directly to you. 👑 **Decide** like a sovereign: get to know your needs, and what meets them best – instead of sacrificing them to the interests of others. 🌐 **Dwell** the space: seek community, practice solidarity and citizenship – instead of being beaten a little later than others, in a glorious bunker. In the future, I'll post a few ideas and suggestions based on the 4Ds. BTW, I have dropped the adjective "#digital" from my vocabulary. There is no more separate "digital sphere" or "cyberspace" that wasn't part of our everyday lives. #privacy #security #anonymity
