iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Surprised it didn't just disassemble itself right there. I keep expecting one to spontaneously do that and then take itself to its cousin, a dumpster.

I've already made major reductions in Amazon spending, but can do better and we already don't do much shopping at big box stores. I think reducing transaction fees is a good thing so I'll focus on that too.

I will also use today as the starting point to build new habits in the way we spend. More cash instead of cards. (I hate carrying cash so this will be hard for me in a way).

Today's the "economic blackout" but that doesn't mean you can't spend some money. Just, do it at your local small businesses and do it with cash only! Fuck the banks. Fuck Amazon. Fuck Walmart. Fuck Target. Fuck Applebee's or whatever other dumb restaurant chains are around you.

It ain't gonna matter anyway... Quantum Computing is here and will inevitably be used for nefarious purposes like breaking encryption in an instant

Don't forget the disabled. Bonus if it is a black trans woman in a wheelchair.

Follow-up ... Calvin Robinson FA and then FO. I still hope someone punches his face though. Source: anglicancatholic.org

A statement on Calvin Robinson from the front page of the Angelican Catholic Church's website, denouncing his actions and explaining that he's been kicked out of the church as a result.

This is my wife. People with disabilities are gonna be forsaken again by this administration.

30 million users. Nice milestone, @bsky.app ! The confetti drop that happened right after I took the screenshot was a nice touch.

Probably either Meta or Apple. You are totally right about Zuckerberg. I know some people will be like "Apple ain't MAGA but Tim Apple was at the inauguration for a reason

That's not necessarily an accurate list for anti-DEI companies. That's just a list of companies that donated to Trump. Not saying that many aren't also eliminating their DEI policies, but just wanted to clarify. web.archive.org/web/20250111...

Just curious... Did the meta account download utility not work for you? I was able to export everything from Insta and FB.

Chad Wells @chadwells.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Yeah more layers of BULLSHIT

Damn. Guess I'm gonna have to see the Eagles in another Super Bowl. Now... GO BILLS

Was that "internal change" firing your CEO and removing him from your board of trustees? If not, I won't be signing up for your platform. I was *this* close to doing so until I saw this PR nightmare you guys are in. Do something to make the trust come back. Don't just say shit ad nauseam.

damn your social media timebox is tiny!

Chad Wells @chadwells.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Well shit. Their platform was looking really promising! Is it just the CEO that's an idiot? I know they are a Swiss company, so that helps things, but this whole thing is worrying, trust-wise. Got any alternatives?

Excellent documentary about how we are being tracked by everything. I already knew a bunch of this (I work in digital marketing) but there was a bunch here that I didn't know. Eye-opening, terrifying, and educational. This is from 5 years ago, but it's oh-so relevant now!

Me too. Will probably attempt to self host as much as I can (email, photos, docs, etc).

Chad Wells @chadwells.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

As I prepare for my exodus from Instagram and Facebook for good, I'm looking toward figuring out how to do the same with Amazon, and Google. The latter will be hella difficult as I type this on my Pixel 9 Pro. Looking for suggestions on how I can pull this off!

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Haven’t been on social media for a bit….but here I am to support the blue community! Anything that pisses Musk off just makes my day. 🖕X. Also- I have a cute puppy. Her name is Punky Riot McMosherson. 🐾

I tried to have Google Gemini teach me how to juggle. Didn't go well.

Will be spending Thanksgiving with just my wife this year. Away from other family for the first time I can remember. It will be a bit strange for sure. But, highly necessary.

Send a box of those to Andrew Tate
