This is apparently how news reports are going now: people sitting there looking things up on their laptop while you watch and listen to them summarize whatever the quickest thing they can google happens to say
King's Field is mostly known as the precursor to what ended up being the Dark Souls series. Featuring hard gameplay, unforgiving traps, weak weapons and an extremely hard difficulty and depressive setting. The KF games are also where the Moonlight Sword originates from. Personally, I love the series. I've beaten nearly all of...
Turns out, Yahoo's purchase of Tumblr in 2013 (wow, that was ten years ago) was even WEIRDER than anyone thought. They wanted it to be "the next PDF"? How does that even make any SENSE? Classic case of corporate foolishness. Buying something they don't even understand, and then wrecking it for no reason other than they could.
The purple bar is the most interesting one. I was at Yahoo! during the height and decline (2005-2015) and met some of the smartest and most friendly people while there (like @jrconlin). I still have many friends there and have worked with some since leaving Yahoo!.
You cut access to my account without any notice or explanation the very moment I need that account to validate access to my other online accounts.
All because of what... I donno, some mailing lists? Of course! Because nothing spells out malicious mail traffic more than some geeks sharing questions and answers, right? And not by any chance that wave of spam or aggressive email marketing (sic), right?
@davidbisset Oh wow! I think #Hotmail was the very first email service that I used. I actually hated email because of it! 😂 #Yahoo & #Outlook were next.
Hotmail only gave me 2 megabytes of space, while Yahoo gave me 4 megabytes & I had 25 megabytes via Outlook (which my job at the time used). Then #Gmail came out with 1024 megabytes (a whole gigabyte!!!) & I have been with the latter ever since.
mir scheint, dass es ein traditionslinker fehlschluss ist, zu glauben, dass interoperabilität etwas mit bündniskultur, allliertentum oder sowas zu tun hat oder haben muss. das gute an protokollen ist doch, dass sie eben völlig agnostisch gegenüber den sie einsetzenden personen oder von ihnen übertragenen inhalten sind. daher sind metas intentionen gegenüber dem fediverse oder ihr moralisch-politischer kompass an dieser stelle völlig egal. https://mastodon.opalium.net/@opalium/110655863321874829
@mspro Wir sehen das Problem schon bei #eMail wo mit #YahooMail / #Yahoo, #GMail / #Google und #Outlook.com / #Microsoft drei Großkonzerne allen deren absurde Regeln aufzwingen, sich selbst aber an keine halten müssen, und dementsprechend für 99,99% allen #SPAM|s verantwortlich sind, der nicht automagisch per #Spamhaus weggeblockt wird!
'Yahoo, an early trailblazer of the Internet boom, is 'very profitable,' and ready to return to public markets via an initial public offering. That’s according to Chief Executive Jim Lanzone, who made the comments in an interview with the Financial Times that published Tuesday.'
(If anybody can pull this off, it's Jim Lanzone. I haven't forgotten what he did at Ask.)
@gabboman Pues lo único que no pude configurar es el reverseDNS, pero el resto de cosillas sí, y ya te digo que ahora mismo si mando un email desde me server a mi cuenta de #Gmail (no he probado con #hotmail o #yahoo), me llega sin problemas. Lo que no sé es si me pongo a manda un poco más a cholón me puedan bloquear (?), pero en principio no creo que llegue a un volumen muy grande de emails. #Brevo podría ser una alternativa, pero de momento me gustaría probar a solucionar lo del SSL.
One thing is for certain, it seem all #socialmedia platforms and search engines owned by "media companies" (aka #MicroSoft, #Google, #Yahoo etc) will have to block all links to news articles in Canada or lose a shit ton of money.
Especially damaging for search engines of course, since now Canadians won't be able to search for news articles outside of the news companies own sites since all other links will be blocked.
My #Reddit Cake day is November 8, 2013. I remember signing up for Reddit, I was standing in line with coworkers while they were getting coffee at the cafe at #Yahoo talking about Audis.
I'm seriously considering closing out my Reddit account.
The only non-Chrome browser left standing in the way of total Google hegemony, which is, in my opinion, a Good Thing.
Makes greater efforts to respect users' privacy. E.g., none of the v3 manifest shenanigans, far less phone-home activity, DNS over HTTPS / #DoH (yes, I know some folks really don't like this) support.
Managed by a non-profit, Mozilla. They're hardly perfect -- being a part of the Non-Profit Industrial Complex -- but I'd rather struggle with them than Google.
Firefox (and #Mozilla) aren't perfect. And so long as they are dependent upon a massive conglomerate like #Google or #Microsoft or #Yahoo to underwrite their efforts, they won't be. But that, in my opinion, is really up to us to work to fix. If there's any software that people would pay for, and have paid for in the past, it's:
Some say #Fediverse is like email. But that’s far from the truth. Mail servers don’t usually block entire mail servers. Imagine #Google bans #Yahoo mail because of some spam or problematic emails. That’s how fediverse is. #Mastodon
#Google, #Yahoo & #Microsoft are notorious for ignoring #abuse reports and not giving any shit, yet instantly & silently block mailservers if they don't setup SPF the way they want it.
"Infuriating! #Yahoo News tries to tar and feather Mastodon with Discord! Yet, this article is wrong on so many counts!
#Discord is not "distributed". It is a centralized and proprietary service run by Discord Inc. -- who have dropped the ball on moderation."
#Mastodon is decentralized and open source, and individual server admins are very active with #moderation. We put lots of effort into reporting...illegal material."
