p.s. as far as I am aware Aria is not on Mastodon and I think she would be very welcome here, if you think so too. scroll/click back up to the post above and give it a boost!
Or make a comment here, or something. Anything.
Aria's story upset me a lot. There are some proper hateful bastards in this world and we should be working together as a community to demonetise these companies and make them an irrelevance.
@kel Aria is most definitely on Mastodon at @woof. She’s expressed doubts about Mastodon, though. Personally, I would love to have her stay because I really appreciate her point of view and have learned a fair bit from her about #synthdiy.
I know on #BandcampFriday there are many artists vying for attention, but apart from the charity drive, I have not had a single sale for my stuff yet this year!
You don't need to buy, no one should be pressuring anyone to buy things, but a BOOST is free and I have the four major releases as pinned posts.
Please would you be so kind and go to my profile and boost all four?
And if you can purchase, know it will be very much appreciated.
What % of a population of a country must exhibit a particular characteristic to make it acceptable to verbally abuse, ridicule and generally shit all over the entire country and everyone who lives there (and the people who do not happen to behave in that way) for that particular trait?
@kel@thebaywindowgirl it’s always funny as they grow up. For a while they are curious about the collies and frequently mob them. Obviously mum has a word shortly afterwards. Or maybe it is just ours 😂
Wordpress.com - absolute control over your stuff through the back door - they own the back door. Opt out? Sure, but when/how effective?
Jetpack - compromises to some of your stuff? Hard to tell without doing a deeper analysis. You own the back door, but you opened it for Jetpack - same with other plugins? All questionable!
Posting your stuff on the internet without any login or paywall - access to everything you publish is by default.
Apparently they have joined the 'all your data to be sold for AI training' posse of losers and grifters!
If you are still hosting your website on wordpress.com you are now working for the enemy whether you like it or not 😂
Oh, and due to typically sloppy slapdash incoherent inaccurate bullshit journalism, it is unclear whether this is wordpress.com or whether the entirety of wordpress including the open source code base is infected with this nasty virus.
Mini adventure to Halifax today, I went to the little Thai Kitchen in the indoor market that makes lovely Thai food for a few £. Yum! 😋
The customers were a riotous mix of nationalities, colours and creeds, if ever you need irrefutable evidence that we all get along just fine, this is an excellent place to visit.
Anyone who claims different is lying to you; it's a tiny minority with a lot of power who are causing all the problems, everypeoeple get along perfectly well together! 💯
I might have to go to the doctor, I seem to have lost the ability to communicate clearly. It keeps happening! Massive miscommunication issues, deep misunderstandings, it';s really making me feel like I should not say a single word!
I speak to a nice chap in the coop, and he keeps saying that there seems to have been a significant change in the number of people not functioning as they did before, with the process of checking out their stuff at the till. He says it makes him feel uncomfortable, people who were always 'on it', doing the right things at the right time, suddenly struggling with pin numbers or forgetting where they were up to.
He sees a lot of people every day all doing the same thing. 🤷♂️
