How to fight back against Google AMP as a web user and a web developer https://markosaric.com/google-amp/
I'm sorry @nextcloud I love your service, but your Talk app really is crap. 😞
Black Friday hosting deals have started. Good time to start a site or to switch to a better provider. I use GreenGeeks and you can now have your site hosted for 3 years for a total of $89.64. They're more eco-friendly too. See my affiliate link for details https://www.greengeeks.com/track/howtomakemyblog/cp-friday/lp-167
#Wire messenger, while operating from Switzerland, is now owned by a US holdings company. They also quietly updated their privacy policy to some very vague language. PrivacyTools.io got a response from Wire's CEO after questioning them about the news and it didn't inspire much confidence. As a result, PrivacyTools.io is no longer recommending the Wire platform on their website.
I've added another entry to my list of reasons why you probably shouldn't use #Facebook.

@tootapp there appears to be a bug the app when hitting the “load more” link in timelines.

Hey @fedilab is your WordPress plugin still maintained?
Your instance, fosstodon.org, holds, in my opinion, all of the information needed to identify you. They know your IP address, and may or may not keep it around in the instance's database or httpd logs.
So then it comes down to "can the Indian government get it from my instance?", and Fosstodon is hosted on OVH, in France. OVH doesn't cough up a god damned thing without a court order.
Holy shit, post #2 on the same day! This time I'm talking about my journey back to #WordPress from #Grav.
I've decided that effective immediately, I will be removing comments from my blog. Here's why:
Interesting perspective from Tim (@oldvetcodes) on moving AWAY from #Linux
+ I'm old enough to remember the Web of the 1990s/ 2000s.
It was a maze. You followed hypertext links, stumbled into forums and early troll-caves, used Slashdot and GoTo, experimented with LiveJournal and Blogger.
It wasn't safe, it was filled with weirdness, appealed heavily to geeks and loners. Being on the web in that era was a serious trip.
But it wasn't corporate. It wasn't the tool of major governments, yet. It was defiantly decentralised, and when you were online...
... you felt free.
@Veye
Welcome. Hope you like it here. It's a bit slow at first but look around, follow people that seem interesting and soon you'll be in the middle of it.
