you're tired of said shit@GossiTheDog if you're here you're old enough to refer to The Hunt For Red October when someone asks what ping is.

you're tired of said shitI've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
IRQ jumpers on dial up modems.
I've watched disk defraggers glitter in the dark on Windows 3.0.
All those moments will be lost in time, like backups on Jazz disks.
Time to power off. -

@fencepost @GossiTheDog when I was 40 I joined a company with about 150 staff. Turned out I was the oldest employee. I commented that "It's like Logan's Run here" and no one knew what I was talking about because none of them were old enough to have seen it!
I felt old that day.

you're tired of said shitMaybe, but the standard Mastodon software now asks for your birthdate when you sign up. It says this information won't be saved, and there doesn't seem to be any verification of it, but given the way the laws are going I don't think it will be too much longer before the big operators like mastodon.social are required to join in the new ID verification schemes.
There should always be a place for small, private servers, but anyone the governments decide is "commercial" is going to have to give in at some point unless we can stop all of these ID schemes and roll back the ones already in place.
