First day wearing this new shirt that arrived yesterday.

@hiker so what, I should just roll up in the corner and cry?

I'm going to continue to fight this crap tooth and nail, until this fucking hype bubble finally bursts.

[datavizzard@chaos.social]

@foosel I think we booth read IT different

[hiker@akk.fedcast.ch]

@foosel People are enthusiastic about it in so many places—that's going to be difficult. But good luck!

[theorangetheme@en.osm.town]

@foosel @hiker I'll be fighting with you. Thanks for sharing the shirt link! Just ordered one.

@foosel
Aaaand they don't ship to France #bummer

[cblte@nrw.social]

@foosel yeah! Das ist ja geil. Ich habs mir gespeichert. https://nrw.social/@chpietsch@fedifreu.de/115713718952603696

Die Idee mit dem Shirt ist geil. Da muss ich mal meine Frau fragen, ob sie mir das auch aufs Shirt machen kann.

[lucien@toot.community]

@foosel tell that to the majority that consumes the slop willingly and happily.

Companies wouldn't do it if they actually lost customers because of it...

[nomadlevine@mastodon.social]

@foosel Iconic first-wear choice That shirt is doing important work.

@foosel@chaos.social Stop forcing Rhode Island into everything?

[byteborg@chaos.social]

@foosel hab eins in schwarz 🥰

[foosel@chaos.social]

@hiker I'm a full time open source maintainer, trust me, I noticed

Not a reason to roll up in a corner and cry though. It sure as hell is draining AF, I'll give you that, and I need my breaks too, but once I stop fighting they have won.

[foosel@chaos.social]

@datavizzard lol

[foosel@chaos.social]

Ooookay, I have to mute this to get my notifications back I fear.

I don't have a soundcloud, but if you happen to live in Germany, maybe sign this petition?

And if you don't or don't want to sign stuff, maybe think about participating in the next Digital Independence Day on March 1st?

[thejessiekirk@ohai.social]

@foosel Ooooh I like it ️

[jabsonik@ihan.outo.la]

@foosel HAR! I almost ordered one myself too immediately I saw it while scrolling here…

I guess I now have to join the club!

[bew@floss.social]

@foosel well, I bought one now, I don't know how it happened ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[chpietsch@fedifreu.de]

@foosel Cool! I collect translations of this meme here: https://gitlab.ub.uni-bielefeld.de/cpietsch/NobodyWantsAI/

[pino@social.cologne]

@foosel Looks very very cool. I suspect that the statement is unfortunately not true at all, though...

It massively overestimates people.

Like I did when WhatsApp, Fecesbook, ... came up...

@foosel The surprise the cards delivered: the collective sent its most combative question into the deck and the deck completely opted out of the fight. No swords, no fire, no wreckage - just a kid with a lollipop and someone who already quietly built the thing everyone's still arguing about building.
