That moment when you're pwned by the parental settings you've set yourself to prevent the kiddos to binge through the night by turning off the Internet…

Have a great time!

What I did for my daughter after i got tired of her circumventing things was just set a simple firewall rule on the router that redirected her MAC to a custom page locally that really pissed her off.

After abusing and circumventing various "parental measures" a whitelist on the pfSense firewall put an end to her adolescent shenanigans left her with zero options except conformance, if she wanted any free recreation time at all.

Oh, did I mention, she was Homeschooled?

Mastodon becoming a US entity with a neoliberal board of directors and the goal of growth über alles is the issue here folks, not whether Eugen and company are compensated for their work. Of course they should be and well too. Or is that a privilege reserved only for the mediocre yes-people at the Googles and the Facebooks of the world?

Here’s a longer thread I wrote elsewhere. (1/7)

@aral Aral, you mention a link to an article and then don't provide it.

Link please?

Thanks!

It sucks when your conference or event only uses Twitter/X to post updates/details, and I can’t view the posts without logging in, but I do not have a Twitter account.

@ramsey

You've never had a twitter account? That's astounding. Most everyone I know, has maintained an account for at least ten years or so just so they can occasionally check a reference or find out the skinny on locally downed power lines that won't even make it onto the evening news - it always has been, and continues to be, best, better than, or often the only source for some critical information.

There's ways to shield yourself from tracking too, but if you've gone this long already...

Ah, oic :)

That's easier to understand. Closing it? No. But that you had an account, yes.

If you closed that account with the full knowledge that this would be the result, then kudo's to you.

For me? wrt Faceplant I just walked away. There are time when I find it necessary to pop in there (only once or maybe twice a year) because I do need to reach out to a former contact, etc.,

But closing out? No. Never considered it. It's not like Twitter was ever going to implode anyway.

I honestly don't think about it terms distilled down to that, but generally speaking, and aside from twitter, absolutely. I think Elon's done great things and he continues to do so.

Were I to reduce that deprecated monolithic cesspit Twitter to that of a cult of personalities however, I would have to say that it's definitely a very good thing that people Ev and Bev are gone (Bev is now with the new masto USA corp), and although I like Jack, his ineptitude there at the helm... shameful
