Is there an instance list that is known to hard block Meta? It seems like most places are like "we'll give it a trial run and see what happens"

@npub1jma…0as2 yeah, I think you're missing the point. I'm not posting it to defend or bring others to the point, you either get it or you don't.

@npub1vwy…efqf @npub1mmf…eknq Some clients support quote posting, but if you reply to it you're replying to the quoted post.
I hate quote posting because it shifts focus from the content creator/original poster to the person sharing it, which is terrible.
Hell, I posted a meme picture I've had on storage that I look it from time to time and it got boosted and favorited a ton of times, people not even caring where it came from. I certainly have no idea, it's like 20 years old.

@npub1atg…xx4k @npub12ze…hunm so strange now, I remember that being high def graphics. It's like watching Golden Eye play-throughs and spend too much time parsing the screen.

@npub1e7p…nvup @npub1jk5…sedk true, I'll still watch it. Horror is one of those genres where the setting and situation is a main character, too, so who knows.

@npub18p3…03wh @npub13rw…nfd8 oof, well I did *just* file my taxes for the last three years (using an accountant because tax software gave me an error and I put it off for a year and a half).
Just going to use an accountant from now on, “here's a check and all the paperwork I have, you handle it.”

@npub17lg…9uux Depends on your perspective, perhaps. I see myself as freer on mastodon and not so much a slave to the algorithm and "influencers” where followers matter.
Sure, we're all split up now, but in many ways that is a good thing. Let those folks that value those things go elsewhere, no judgment, just glad it is separate.
At some point, all the retweets and emotional posting have to come with action, or is it all just empty fluff and no one has any true convictions?

I like the @npub1svs…p66u for macOS but it uses way too much RAM. Have to switch to something else :(

@npub1hyk…3p33 is right about things, it’s playing out right in front of our faces.

Just purchased an ebook copy of the "Red Team Blues" from @npub1hyk…3p33 at https://craphound.com/category/redteamblues/ - Now I can join in all the fun.
I almost got the audiobook and I love other books I've heard Wil read, but just have a huge backlog of audiobooks I've neglected already.

2023-09-23 23:49:57

Interesting. There's a website that interviews folks to see what technology they use and there is one for @npub1hyk…3p33 https://usesthis.com/interviews/cory.doctorow

I de-Googled myself in the interest of personal privacy and security, but to also de-Apple myself, I'm going to need to re-Google myself a little. Also probably a 2024 project as I can't afford to de-Apple myself right now.
Probably get a @npub1t9n…k9e7 laptop running a GNU/Linux or OpenBSD OS, and a Pixel phone again, unsure.
Just hate being slaves to these large corporations.

@npub1j29…uvms I do wish Apple would support it. It is comically terrible how small and pixelated videos and images are when texting my Android friends is.

Dumb question perhaps: when journalists give out their phone or Signal number, are they paying for a separate cellphone and number to do so?

Finally watched @npub1hyk…3p33 DEF CON talk and absolutely outstanding. We need more voices (forces) like this on the Internet. I've already quit Google (sad the video is on YouTube) and Apple will likely be next.
I entrenched myself in Apple shit with my own money, I feel invested in my shit fort.

I want the Internet as we had it before all these big companies and few websites was "the Internet" as most people know it.
I like the idea of Mastodon and Fediverse but I've been around long enough to know none of this tech lasts forever, it is all fleeting.

@npub1j29…uvms not enough visual contrast. The brightness of the background color and text color are too close to one another for my liking.
BUT that's just my initial impression, could be easier on the eyes after a while.

@npub1j29…uvms @npub1nal…cghx I'm a sucker for a rounded border and anti-aliased font edges, hah. I hate transparency and while I love dark mode themes, many folks get them wrong and it just is more eye strain.

@npub1j29…uvms I wish we could return to a POV of K.I.S.S with interfaces instead of just making them harder to use but look nicer. @npub1nal…cghx

@npub1j29…uvms @npub1nal…cghx things were so much easier to find. I feel like all I do anymore in Windows and macOS settings apps is search for what I want instead of navigate to it.

Hey, y'all. @npub13cc…8nxu is on Mastodon and social media again. He's gone through hell the past few months.
Can you send him kind words and things to make him smile, and let him know there is love and kindness here, too?
