I sometimes thought my father thought he could't die while he still had books on his pending pile (a stab at immortality I seem to be replicating)... so, it was strangely touching to see Tom Gauld has had similar thoughts.

@bookstodon

Cartoon: man talking to ghost - frame one: Man, 'I thought you'd died' Ghost (reading a book), 'My life has ended but I cannot pass over to the spirit realm when so much remains undone' frame two: Man, 'you mean all these books you bought and never got round to reading?' Ghost (floating next to a full/overflowing bookshelf), 'It won't take long, there are fewer distractions when you're dead'. frame three, A few months later: Man, 'Is it me or are these piles getting bigger?' Ghost (now surrounded by books), 'My library card still works, but once I I've read these I'll start on the ones in the attic'.

    813 US billionaires control a record $5.7 trillion in wealth.

    The bottom 50% of Americans control $3.7 trillion in wealth.

    When ~800 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

    @rbreich the stats are disturbing, have a look into countries like Pakistan where population is flooded and the wealth is with few elite capitalists

    is this feeling... hope? https://activitypub.ghost.org/day-0/

    At various points we revisited our old idea for networked publishing in Ghost and tested a few prototypes, but we were never sure how to make it scale; nor how many other platforms would ultimately adopt it. For all its promise, ActivityPub (like many open standards) seemed to generate products with user experiences that were often confusing and convoluted. But something else happened in the intervening period between 2016 and 2024: People became increasingly fed up with the behavior of centralized platforms, and increasingly hungry for alternatives. The motivation for exploring and understanding new technologies, rough edges included, meaningfully increased. In 2024, for the first time, it finally feels like we have a critical mass of people and platforms who are interested in rewilding the internet to bring back what we lost, and create something new. In the past week alone, we've had conversations with Mastodon, Flipboard, The Verge, Buttondown, WriteFreely, and several co-authors of the ActivityPub spec. There's a palpable feeling that this just might be the year of [begin strikethrough] the linux desktop [end strikethrough] the open web.

    @molly0xfff any innovation and invention when used for profit the way these giant companies have used, loses its value. (Personal opinion)
