alright for real this time i am just so sick of this hellsite. Can't help but think about the old "if there are ten people sitting at a table and one of them is a n*zi, you got ten n*zis" and here I am sitting at e|on's naz! table. Goodnight twitter. i'm on bsky
for those who haven't been following, this nepal story is fucking crazy:
- bunch of teens and early 20s kids plan start a social movement against the current regime on social issues and econmical inequalties
- government gets wind of it scaling and tries to geoblock social media
- people get more pissed off, start protesting
- government cant handle the protests, lift social media ban
- doesn't do anything, people just organize further
- burn down parliment building, pm's house. beats the shit out of the finance minister in the streets, kills the pm's wife.
- kids elect their own new PM on their discord server, ex-chief justice of the supreme court who was part of the 1990 revolution that ended the monarchy
- army head ackowldges the validity of the discord vote and is meeting the new interm PM to discuss elections for new leadership going foward
I think it's sad none of these applications will ever be built again.
I no longer want cleverly packaged utility. I want silliness and whimsy delivered through convoluted high skill ceiling bloatware if that's not too much to ask for
