Tiny cock?

I don’t know the word but there’s one Japanese word that means “stupid” but is basically the equivalent to the r-word in English. It’s banned from being said on Japanese television.

Technology, open source software, operating systems, retro technology, furries

I LOVE NOT FOR BROADCAST! I was there when it was just episode one. I really need to finish it but I haven’t found the time

I loved Killer Frequency! I made a post talking about it.

The moment I read this comment is now my answer 😭😭😭

I haven’t read a lot in my RSS feed in a bit but here are my favorites:

• Buried Treasure - Reviews of hidden indie gems
• Dhole Moments - Writings about information security, cryptography, software, and humanity.
• Tales of the Aggronaut - A personal blog from Belghast about gaming, specifically MMOs, but there’s also a decent amount about his own personal life in the posts. That personal aspect of his blog appeals to me. He’s also on the Fediverse, and helps operate the Mastodon instance gamepad.club! You can find him at @belghast@gamepad.club
• Web3 is Going Just Great - A blog by Molly White tracking examples of how “things in the blockchains/crypto/web3 technology space aren’t actually going as well as its proponents might like you to believe.” I’m also subscribed to Molly’s reading list about blockchain stuff..
• Obsidian Roundup/Iceberg - A blog from Eleanor Konik about the Obsidian app. It’s about updates, workflow guides, new plugins, advice from other members, themes, and ancillary tools. I also recommend checking out the other tabs on Konik’s blog as she delves into history and world culture and even has fictional stories.
• MacStories - A blog about Apple tech and apps, including a lot of reviews which I really enjoy.
• The Digital Antiquarian - A blog about the history of computer entertainment, digital culture, and video games.
• AI Weirdness - Pretty self-explanatory. Highlights AI being weird.

This is a newsletter, but I also enjoy Garbage Day. I use Feedbin which allows me to have emails in my RSS feed.

Having federation between different platforms is a double edged sword because on one hand, I want to explore and experience the different platforms the Fediverse has to offer like Calckey/Firefish. On the other hand though, I feel like it wouldn’t be worth it because everything—or at least most things—are federated, so how much new content would I be seeing? On top of that, if I wanted to post something I’d have to choose which account I would post it to because crossposting would effectively be double posting which isn’t fun for anyone.

What terrible choices, out of curiosity?

I joined Raddle because I wanted to keep up with r/traa, r/egg_irl, and r/ennnnbbbyyyy 😭😭😭😭

Raddle and Tildes are open source

That’s fair. I feel like bloat would be the wrong term to use in regards to a search engine though 😅

That’s…really bad 😭 Even Mastodon allows you to search by hashtags (I know it supports full-text search but most instances turn that off because it’s pricey)

His apology “for the pain his donation in support of prop 8 caused” was also kind of undercut by following up by calling criticism of his views as a “political litmus test”.

He’s shocked that his support of a political organization makes people think that he agrees with their movement and he gets criticized for holding those views?

Wait why would the search engine be the bloat part?

Threads had no discovery features?! Jesus Christ…

Fwiw this is about Brave Search, not the Brave Browser

I have one of those, except it can play other old retro games too!

Not really a hack but I love using loose leaf paper with triangle holes that’s reinforced with tape. It’s called “College Ruled Reinforced Paper”. My papers don’t constantly rip out anymore.

Also I like refillable notebooks. They’re regular notebooks you can refill and much lighter and easier to carry.

I never noticed anything like that.

It’s pretty shitty for a company to force someone to use a phone app or go to something as vital as a bank just because they won’t let the customer access the website. And there are plenty of reasons why someone wouldn’t be able to go to the bank in person every time they needed to, or at least it’d be extremely inconvenient to (especially for small things like checking your balance or transactions). Not everyone has a phone either.

Change your email provider? Run your own email like people should?

I’ve never deleted my email before but I’m pretty sure that means losing access to your entire inbox that you’ve likely had for years and having to update your contacts, the emails for all the accounts you have under it, etc. And being blocked from the website means you won’t be able to do any of those things through the official website. Does device atteststion prevent you from accessing your email through third party clients?

Also, it’s not exactly easy or practical to host your own email. And for many people that would mean spending money on servers. I read a blog post last year of someone who gave up hosting their own email after 23 years doing so.
