@SuperDicq @phnt Sometimes, I get nostalgic for old Internet drama and lolcows.

@SuperDicq @phnt It's been through many shutdowns, relaunches, and new domains, but it's still around.

@phnt @SuperDicq I'm surprised that there isn't an ED article on him yet.

@SuperDicq Just redirect that domain to his KF thread. Less time spent on a worthless human being like him.

Please someone who has some free time than me write a report on all of the embarrassing shit Drew has said in the past 20 years and put it on drewdevault-report.org (domain is available)

Please God let this happen because it would be so fucking funny

Hugo is such a bloated, convoluted mess. It's hard to wrap your head around it. Just use Jekyll if you want a static-site generator.

@tomie A lot of websites have it, but they are often hidden, either intentionally (because they are meant for API usage) or by incompetence (the webmaster doesn't know what it is but the CMS they use supports it). For example, WordPress sites have it by default, even if the RSS feed isn't linked anywhere on the site. It's always located in /feed (e.g. activistpost.com/feed). WordPress still powers the vast majority of blog and news sites so this should work in most cases.

Youtube used to have hidden RSS feeds for channels, allowing you to subscribe to channels without an account or increasing the channels subscriber count, but apparently they are gone. You can still follow RSS feeds for Youtube channels via Invidious, however.

Same goes with Twitter. They used to have hidden RSS feeds, but I don't know if they do anymore, especially after Elon fucked up the API. You can still follow Twitter accounts via RSS using any of the nitter proxies.

@cjd They DO know how to stop them. It's going to be with a Digital ID which will be required to even ENTER the store.

In one of the first studies to look at the long-term effects of screen time, researchers have found a link between spending hours on electronics and developing severe mental health symptoms in 8- and 10-year-olds.

@wowaname I really need to get a desktop computer for myself. I am a heavy laptop user and it shows.

@beardalaxy @PurpCat @j
>it's very mastodon-esque

It's literally ripped from the front-end of Gab's Mastodon fork, IIRC.

@beardalaxy @PurpCat @j PleromaFE seems more like old school (2006-2009?) Twitter's UI. I think GNU Social was also like that for a while. My main gripe with it is that you need to press a button to refresh the feed and the constant parsing errors (t.map is not a function, JSON.parse error).

@beardalaxy @PurpCat @j You could try SoapBox, if the Pleroma instance you are using supports it, but I don't know if Alex Gleason is going to maintain that anymore.

@PurpCat @beardalaxy @j I'm honestly glad that our instance is running on Mastodon though. Our existence spites Eugene Rochko.

If people are desperate enough they’ll accept any solution that they feel works. And for now the elites that created the crisis are the only group offering a way out (a false way out). Here's what we can do...

I don't think reputation systems are a good solution for most problems they're pitched to resolve.
For all the reasons Reddit karma isn't indicative of anything useful, reputation itself can become a traded commodity.
