What will that #bolshevik Newsom think of next?

Human Remains Red Wine?
Decomposition Daiquiris?

Okay the bonehead governor just signed into law the #composting of human remains as part of his campaign to reverse climate change, lolz.

We already have chemical #cremation, where they stuff your carcass into a giant test tube resembling an iron lung for a few hours and then pour you through a strainer.

Look, carry my #cadaver up the mountain, roll me into a ditch. Let the turkey #vultures, #coyotes, #beetles, and #maggots do the rest.

Then #fuck_off.

Easy Peasy, and environmentally sustainable...

And it's fucking free.

Best of all, no bon fires in #Joshua_Tree like that botched funeral pyre when they stole #Gram_Parson's body from LAX.

That's just fricken' #goulish - composting... Let's make mud pies out of #dead_people!

Or, hey! Let's make #Soylent_Green and sell it at the grocery stores and #Burger_King as the real "Impossible Burgers"

🤘💀🤘

Australian rabbits - increases the much needed biodiversity we need...

Ummm... Really? Biodiversity DOES NOT necessarily translate into a good thing!

i.e., Will the Wooly Mammoth prove to be yet another destructive WEED SPECIES?

When I was a kid I used to think, "How kewl would it be to refoliate the Earth with Wooly Mammoths?"

During my studies in 'Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution' at UCSD I realized that we have good reasons to be skeptical of such efforts.

What are your thoughts?

I'm not only of the mind that they don't need to change, but also, that they shouldn't - we should, as FOSS and Privacy Advocates, do all that we can to see that they wither and die on the vine... Just like Myspace did.

I use Myspace as an example because it is classic. It is litterally still extant, in an almost completely unusable state, and that is laughable. I also point to Myspace because its demise began when they originally broke the capability of users to "Pimp my Myspace". This was a really big deal with a userbase that could have ownership over the look and feel of their accounts with aliased handles instead of "real names", like Faceplant enforced.

It also stands as an example of just how quickly a house of cards can fall when the public vote with their feet. The Fediverse at this time is merely a confederation of federating platforms, mostly based on ActivityPub, not really truly decentralized in the sense that full decentralization means that identity is fully portable, but that is coming, and so is the fall of Twatter, Faceplant, Robbit, InstaSPAM, and EweTube.

Sure, as those building crumble, those so-called "big tech" juggernauts will scramble to establish new vehicles from which they can violate people who participate as part of their respective user bases - but they will be directly competing against FOSS based, privacy respecting, horizontally scaling and self-hosted solutions where identity is fully nomadic, and cares not whether you think you ( the proverbial big tech you) are competing with it.

FOSS doesn't care. it has nothing to lose, and people use it or they don't, but in our emerging techo-socio-political Internetworking culuture, there will be an increasingly diminishing inventory of people to subjugate, package, inventory, and place on the shelf.
