@Gargron it's time to tell instance administrators that blocking other instances prejudicially does more harm to the fediverse, than good to the users.

We need to encourage users to actively use self moderation tools such as blocking and filtering, and teach administrators that domain blocking should be a last resort action — e.g. when one instance actively attacks yours, not when one users from that other instance says something that single user on your instance may be offended of.

The big "search engines" are breaking our ability to find each other's content organically online. They're putting themselves in the middle and curating content. They're not even search engines anymore, they're content aggregator platforms. Did you know that you have to register your site with Google to show up in search results? They don't even use crawlers anymore.

DuckDuckGo does not protect you from this. Any metasearch engine will not protect you from this.

I'm removing this post before more people repost it, I do not want to contribute to the spread of false information.

So apparently the Reddit mobile app has been caught scraping users' clipboard. Anyone else heard about this?

There was a time in my life where things had happened. And I experienced them, and they were amazing. And then they were over. And that is a fact.

"For soon, the quivering mass of life within me will depend upon us both! Even now, I can sense it, feeding, squirming, searching, questing! And shortly, it will rend my loins in twain, burst forth, and pull us down! Down, down, into the deep dark waters of commitment!"

Hello, I know it's been a while since I've posted. I hope you guys are all doing okay.

Tonight, on this special prime time edition of "trash cart chronicles" it appears someone has stolen all the aluminum cans! Who would do such a thing! It is day 5 and nobody that works at this location cares enough to clean this! Will the trash cart survive into day 6? Stay tuned to find out!

Updated my Linux Mint desktop installation and it fell to pieces. Fuck Debian. Fuck Ubuntu. Fuck Mint.

Fuck it. Wiped the thing. Installed Manjaro. That feeling you get when you first move from Windows to Linux? That's thee feeling you get when you switch from a "user friendly" desktop distro to an Arch based distro. The shit is fucking magical. Arch FTW.

Today on "trash cart chronicles" the trash cart is still there 3 days later, this time with more trash™! Let's see how long this can go on. Tune in next time for more "trash cart chronicles!"

@LemmyDev hey man I just saw the news of the funding grant! Congrats! I would get in the matrix room but I set that account down for a while. That's some exciting news, I can't wait to see the progress! I just remember finding your first reddit post way back when nobody was interested and it was your hobby project and to see it become one of the most anticipated projects on the fediverse is very inspiring.

Welcome to my new show called "the trash cart chronicles" where we update you daily on the state of the trash cart for as long as it sits in this parking lot! On this episode we explore the origins of the cart, where me and some coworkers drank beer in the parking lot of our job and left it there because nobody gives a fuck. This is the state of it the next day:
