drahardja, 5 months ago to meta

I don’t understand the gnashing of teeth about #Meta/#Threads joining the Fediverse. To me, more federation is better than less, even if that federation potentially brings in more spam and garbage that we have to manage, because allowing humans to communicate on the Fediverse strengthens the Fediverse, and I like the Fediverse better than corporate control.

Letting Meta join the Fediverse does not cede control of the Fediverse to Meta. The same rules of the Fediverse still apply. If Meta doesn’t do its job in moderating their instance, existing countermeasures used against any other poorly-managed instances can be deployed. Meta is, in fact, forced to cede some control to the Fediverse.

I continue to believe that blocking is not an effective way to manage federation, and so it follows that I believe preemptive blocking is a bad idea.

Let them come. It’s nice here. Maybe some will decide to move to a Fedi instance instead, and it will be easier because they won’t lose touch with their friends.

“While we worried that our doorbells and watches that connect to the internet might be spying on us, car brands quietly entered the data business by turning their vehicles into powerful data-gobbling machines.”

84% sell your data.

56% give data to law enforcement “on request.” (No court order required.)

92% give you little/no control over what they do with it.

I updated my WordPress plugin that warns your site's visitors if they don't have an ad-blocker installed.

EDIT: You can now fully customize the note, including links to plugins and browser extensions you want to suggest.

By default, a link to my blog with a list of popular options will be shown.

I’m gonna dip my toes into volunteering as a Flatpak/Flathub developer advocate—basically, providing a human contact at a real company that can help larger apps/companies get their apps in front of Linux (and thus Steam Deck!) users.

What are some of the biggest apps you think are missing from Flathub—or for apps already there, which are the ones you’d like to see verified?

Nobody else, though. Especially not actual humans.

This has mostly been reported as "trans women banned from women's chess" but it's much more sinister. (as if it weren't already.)

ALL trans people are targeted by this ruling. Trans men will be stripped of all chess titles won, which can only be returned to them by “changing the gender back to a woman” (from the ICF’s ruling). ALL transgender chess players will be marked as trans in their files.

If you play or know anyone who does take a stand on this. It's ugly.

I posted about switching to Firefox as my "daily driver" browser as a little tiny step away from Chromium browser hegemony, and I had a ton of people in the replies suggesting I should just use Brave or Edge or Opera or Vivaldi instead.

I'm a little concerned that people don't realize just how pervasive this problem is. Every single one of those sits on top of the Chromium codebase.

i hate shopping at kroger because their self-checkout stations never have scales that work and so it thinks you’re stealing and in order to scare you it plays back a video of you from above so you’ll stop stealing but i am not so i just get sad because it shows that on the top of your head you are balding and you’re self-conscious and you’re not a thief you are just 30 and you shouldn’t be balding this soon oh why oh why must it be so
