I really miss the pre-2014 Internet.
I know some of you will say they want the pre-2007 Internet, or even before that, but I'd argue that GamerGate truly changed the Internet landscape forever. Now everyone with a significant presence on the Internet has to pick a side, whether their presence is political or not. I just miss the days when you can just simply create something, share it on the Internet, and not be forced at gun point to share your stance on something like abortion, and if you wanted to, you can simply talk about those issues on some separate account.
One good thing that came from the political polarization from the past decade however is that it finally gave people an excuse to look at alternative platforms. Not even the Snowden leaks were enough to get people to jump ship.
> Since the Covid Crisis, there has been a renewed interest in people taking control of their health. This on its own is fantastic news. This is something that’s very close to my heart since I’ve been embarking on my own health journey. As part of this, I was gifted Casey Means’ book Good Energy by my mother. I think there is a lot of very useful and important information in this book. Sadly, it also leaves out a wide variety of important information, especially when it comes to digital autonomy.

@Forestofenchantment @ullard You can use C as a CGI scripting language, but not many people use it for that purpose.
The USPS is good for nothing. I had a package delivered on the 24th. Another package was supposed to be delivered on the 26th but they claimed the address is inaccessible and blocked redelivery requests. I submitted a help ticket and was told the package would be delivered today. It was not. Additionally, the USPS retaliated by holding another package that was scheduled for today, claiming it was "at the customer request". We made no such request. I hope the USPS is privatized. They're garbage and need to be hammered like the ugly as nail sticking up that they are.
@ryan None right now. I just want to go one month without one.
