вспомнил как когда-то давно придумал вырезать кастомным правилом для адблока секцию комментариев под постами паблика Медузы во вконтакте, чтобы не разочаровываться в человечестве. жаль с твиттором такое не прокатит The rise of Mastodon has made me so much more aware of government services requiring us to use private companies’ systems to communicate with them and access services. Sitting on a Dutch train just now I was shown on a screen “feeling unsafe in the train? Contact us via WhatsApp”. What if I don’t use WhatsApp? (I do, but I wish I didn’t have to) I’m forced to share my data with Meta to use it. Public systems should not require use of private services.

 @Brendanjones i still love the confused look on people’s faces when i say “… but i’m not on Facebook…”   What is the alternative though? I mean for this specific "feeling unsafe in the train" case? When you need to reach wide audience and especially people who might be contacting you one and only time you have to use something popular already.  @0xabad1dea remember the C compiler distributed as an ASCII text file, and which produced binaries that are also ASCII text files? http://tom7.org/abc/paper.pdf It's come up a few times in the past couple days, but did you know that there's a Flash player that runs in WASM, making it easier to preserve and play old Flash games directly in your browser?

  @xgranade @whitequark We’ve gone full circle. Everything old is new again. This is making me wonder if I should get my copies of Flash 5 and CS6 fired up again and dust off those Actionscript 2 and 3 gamedev skills. 🤔 мне жесть как не хватает такой вещи как возможность запостить понравившийся трек на стенку ВКонтакте glad to see people still like this dumb image I made. for the record, couldn’t have done it without the fine folks of cohost https://cohost.org/jckarter/post/4273322-empty

  @timbray “We aim to cover the running costs of our public instance through donations.” Sounds like a solid plan.  удалил нижнюю восьмёрку. сам процесс был не очень болючий, только звуки неприятные (и я чуть не упал в обморок после того как мне вкололи анестезию, но это ладно) но сразу после процедуры и вот уже два дня состояние такое будто меня отпиздили.  @broadway_lamb у меня до сих пор флешбеки, как после удаления восьмерки мне пришлось в похожем состоянии на следующий же день ехать в городской военкомат на Введенском канале подтверждать категорию «В» Опыт был -inf/10, конечно Mark Zuckerberg basically just confirmed that your feeds will soon be full of AI-generated content. Another reason the fediverse needs to exist: so that you can follow humans. https://www.theverge.com/24253481/meta-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-ar-glasses-orion-ray-bans-ai-decoder-interview
