I switched all my domains to Porkbun. No way I’m hanging out in Squarespace land.

Checkout https://infosec.exchange instead of blocking Threads, the admin made a second instance for people who wanted Threads blocked. Like 40 people migrated, lol

What is missing is that the podcast originally claimed it was entirely written and generated by AI. They only changed the story when they were sued.

Yeah. The arbitration section of the agreement specifically says it only applies to US residents.

1. “Run around” = Respond to a thread that appeared in my subscriptions.
2. “Must lick Meta’s boots” = Let users decide for themselves to block Meta.

Your hyperbole makes it obvious you have no place in a reasonable debate about this topic.

I love when people conflate rights and ethics. I agree with you that no one has a right to be listed on Fedi Garden. And I still think it’s not nice to pressure admins into taking choice away from users.

“I don’t think it’s nice to federate with a company that has been cited in multiple independent reports of massacres/genocides,”

And I don’t think it’s nice to take the choice away from users. I can block threads all on my own – I don’t need a nanny who doesn’t even cite their sources.

Appreciate you giving credit where credit is due. It is 100% corporate greed.

Kotaku’s editor-in-chief has resigned

Fun fact, it’s been two different groups of people in charge! Yahoo! was responsible for removing adult content and then sold it to Automattic for pennies on the dollar. Automattic then went through several rounds of different poor moderation before the CEO himself stepped up to share GDPR violating information on Twitter. Now we’re adding AI!

Yeah. I worked for a SaaS company that had two rounds of layoffs because they hired C-suite executives who were better at talking than building software or running product teams.

One was let go in the layoffs – but given a book of clients to start a competing business. The other is still there holding pointless meetings that keep people from getting work done.

Reddit expects to finish this year with ad revenue … slightly over $800 million… Reddit had said two years ago it aimed to exceed $1 billion in ad revenue by 2023…

So they missed their two year goal by 20%. They had forecasted a 2.9x growth and achieved 2.3x

When it comes time to IPO, they’ll just blame the economy and ad blockers, while showing how many users they forced into their app where ad blocking is harder.

It’s also disingenuous because they already decline to host sex workers newsletters. So if the censorship angle was true, they’re already censoring.

The “Sync Contacts” setting is weird. You can toggle it on, but it doesn’t gain or ask for the OS permissions on Android. There’s a brief message saying you have to give it the permission. No idea why they didn’t just use the built in SDK to ask for the permission.

YouTube doesn’t stop you from using uBO if you’re paying.

You could pay for the service with cash instead of ad views. Works on all devices without having to set up an adblocking VPN or Pi-Hole.

And? My DNS provider shouldn’t be leaking my information even if I immediately use the info they gave me to connect to the site.

I bought a plane ticket this week and it had all the fees listed. If airlines can do it, so can any multi-national corporation.

On top of this, they don’t care about best practices. They’re shit managers who were better at getting promoted than managing people.

Meetings on Zoom suck? Well, you don’t use agendas, meeting notes, etc. Your meetings always sucked, you’re just missing the dopamine hit from socializing on the way to and from the meeting.

Bad employee relations? Well, your 1:1s are really only status calls. Your relations always sucked, you’re just missing talking to Bill about your kids when you corner him at the coffee machine.

Missing team bonding? Well, your team went to happy hour to bitch about you. They always hated trust falls. You just miss hanging out with your yes-chums.

Yeah, it’s just like when Prince changed his name. The media will just keep going “X, formerly known as Twitter” forever.
