Do people not even Emmet anymore?? Tsk…

Delectable comment. I enjoyed every word.

Now this should be an xkcd

I wish more people would. I think it’s ridiculous that we’ve put up with buying all these tools and appliances that come with ads like pimples all over. Pisses me right off.

Welcome, sibling

Just put a lil bit o’ tape over it. I’m actually insane and put tape over most of the logos around my house hahahah

If you have any power at all, complying with the blatant fascist is treason. You know what happens next. Think of all the people who have virtually no power, who can be beaten, imprisoned, deported, without consequence. Chuds like Zuckerberg and Gates pave the way for that. They have enough money and power to insulate themselves.

Even fucking Musk parted company with the ghoul emperor. Imagine having less spine than someone who bought a social media platform so people would stop making fun of him (didn’t work, obv).

Heh, indeed. Not to be confused with this old school SS to Ghost migration tool. 👻

There are several, but the most direct alternative is Ghost (see SS to Ghost migration guide here).

I used to subscribe to several SS newsletters that switched to Ghost, which is how I found out about it. But I wouldn’t have even noticed if they hadn’t told me.

Highly prone to lock-in, enshittification, and they promote Nazis.

Just another centralized platform that can’t help but want to become universal.

Yes, I wonder what journalists (“professional” and otherwise) are supposed to do. Everyone going their own way and splintering off into many little voices doesn’t feel like the right answer, but publishers are beholden to investors and can be bought out by billionaires. I suppose there are publishers/agencies that have maintained their integrity like 404 Media, or Al Jazeera.

Maybe this is just the burden of anyone in a democracy: to constantly weigh the quality of the sources of information you’re using to form opinions which spawn action.

Apologies, I wasn’t criticizing the article, or you for sharing it. It’s a tricky sentence, especially if English isn’t your first language - the “but” changes the subject. Article is definitely privacy related.

What isn’t privacy related is my opinion about subtack. I don’t mean to derail, so will let anyone reading this look up why ss sucks and make their own decision.

Using this to try to get more people off of discord.

Also not privacy related, but fuck substack

It’s a miracle 😭

Your username rules

Man, wish I’d thought of that. The last place I applied I went through two leetcode and two system design interviews, as well as the usual battery of recruiter, manager, and director meetings.

So this is what it looks like when I Windows people read our shell commands.

I am the tool 😎 wait

Yeah teeth is a pro move only

The alphabet is good advice, but more for finding the right “letter” for your partner and—this is crucial—sticking to it unless it stops working (sometimes things just shift and you gotta adapt).
