extremely weird shit across the board from that user. account claims to be “18M” and running “manjaro and mint”, and then has a shell on sdf.org? along with the posts, “Yes, I’d prefer not being resuscitated. If I am finally dead, let it stay that way” just from that thread (and a number of other choice entries elsewhere in their history)

like come the fuck on, can it be more sus

just fishy in aggregate. I wouldn’t say so much “because for olds” as “it’s far more likely for old(er)s to want something like that”. combine that with the wide array of other posts the account has engaged with, and the bio just wholly looks like bullshit to me

I mean I did fuck around on some public VAX hosted things and such in the early 00s, so it’s not impossible for this to be a true thing, but yeah. just smells off

do you mean the bootstrap era or the bootstrap 2 era or the microsoft-went-square-so-everyone-fell-over-themselves flat trend or the material era or the The Web Is Now Blue And White era or …

(e: and that’s only back to, like, 2012/2013… fucking hell)

the splash damage this stuff is causing to the cultural commons is going to be extremely hard to quantify, and undo

I’ve been pondering it for a little while now and even just spitballing on axes of bitrot/vc-exhaustion/etc, we’re going to have all this useless space-filling shit on our collective doorsteps for 5~15y

there appears to be some amount of hope ito things that auto-blacklist sites, etc. but since we don’t have real transclusion (and other source-strong models of hosting/serving), provenance problems are going to remain at a nasty prominence for quite a while too

and the fucking shitheads that push this may never be brought to account -_-

nice. I’ve got one of the others after I found it a while back, but it looks like yours has a narrower scope?

for places like deviantart… yeah. I don’t really know how you reverse that. containment by clearly marking all the profiles/uploaders (after some way it was detected)? community maintained lists which help defend?

it’s such a fucking mess. and we have no choice but to deal with it, otherwise it will just make things even worse. that’s the thing that really fucks me off about this stuff. all the undue extra work created for many, many people by the inconsiderate actions of far fewer that nonetheless don’t care about their actions.

and on that topic, some actual numbers (posting without reading - that’ll happen as soon as my delivery gets here)

yeah it is rather a strange shortcoming/oversight

(tried it some many years ago, probably long enough that lots of the following is entirely outdated)

then: install was relatively clean, UI shit still had a lot of work required (not showstoppers, just lots of not-quite-good things as often found in oss stuff), wasn’t great to monitor/profile, client options were narrow, and lastly the standard problem of being non-goldenpath-choice meant you had to do a lot of things yourself

it was an internal-only service in a always-use-vpns-for-everything company so further attempts at SSO and integration and ACL shit weren’t investigated at the time

out jogging: that’s you keep data fit. gotta keep it moving. unfit data quickly starts falling into bitrot. that’s what you get by buying a slack subscription - crosstrainers for your data!

trade secret tho, don’t tell anyone

there is a type of leader out there that takes gartner magic quadrants seriously and makes decisions from that information

and they’re not rare.

keep in mind that the company heavily pre-filters for believers. that means that you have a whole set of other decision-influence things going on too, including not thinking much about this

(and then probably also the general SFBA vibe of getting people before they have any outside experiences, and know what is/is not sane)

…that’s going to be some ratsphere fucking bullshit, isn’t it
