    Man, the last few months have been wack.

    Reddit kills third party apps (and drives away moderators, making some subs ridiculously terrible permanently, eg. /r/IAMA, in case no one’s up to speed on that drama), Imgur bans NSFW content and deletes everything not uploaded by registered users, Twitter just goes fucking crazy (although that can really be attributed to one idiot), RARBG dies, Google kills sells off their domains to SquareSpace, Gfycat is just getting rid of everything, Netflix kills password sharing and plays a major part in holding back negotiations with the WGA, Zaslav kills HBO Max and turns it into reality TV central, Red Hat pulls a Canonical, Mastodon is in a potentially precarious situation with Meta…

    That’s just off the top of my head. There’s probably a bunch more I’m forgetting.

    2023 is fucking wild. Might as well get ready for the next “We Didn’t Start The Fire” cover. There’ll probably be enough crazy tech/social media shit for every verse before the end of the year.

      Funny enough, an artist called Fallout Boy did recently do a We Didn’t Start The Fire parody to try and be more up to date on content.

      That said, aside from being completely out of order, it’s controversial for some of its… questionable lyrical choices, for lack of a better word.

      By the end of the year Steve Wozniak will be the CEO of Microsoft, YouTube will no longer allow videos in French, and the UN will recognize Mastodon as a weapon of war after it’s somehow the deciding factor in Ukraine. And then in 2024 the weird stuff will happen
