I will boycott every company, organisation, and service that advertises on YouTube until:

1. the company pulls all their ads from YouTube ASAP, or
2. YouTube deplatforms SSSniperwolf.

I urge everyone else to do the same. Hit them where it hurts most: their advertising revenue.

working on a very short list of helpful command line git tools. so far I have:

• a custom shell prompt with your current branch
• tig for a nicer git log https://jonas.github.io/tig/
• delta for nicer diffs https://github.com/dandavison/delta
• maybe lazygit (I haven't used it but I hear a lot of good things!)

what am I missing?

(I think GUI git tools are great too but that's not my focus right now)

You just can’t fucking win, and can’t fucking argue with these blind people can you.

Apparently I got reported today for using the #Alt4me tag and not being blind. I was told by multiple people on Mastodon that if I didn't have the energy to do alt text for every image I could use this tag and someone would do it for me.

Instead I got reported to my instance owner. You all need to make up your fucking minds what is acceptable and what isn't if you want people to stay on mastodon. As it stands, I don't feel comfortable posting images anymore because if I don't have the energy to write alt text then I get shamed, if I used #Alt4Me I get reported

You people make it so tiring that for someone like me with ADHD and Executive Dysfunction it is much easier to just not use Mastodon to post any images!!!!

I'd also like to touch on how people always shame others with "invisible" illnesses. I cannot escape it. Just because I am sighted does not mean I am not disabled in some ways. But people can't see ADHD and executive dysfunction, so I just get their personal diagnosis of 'LAZY'.

I can tell why artists aren't flocking here in droves.

I don't know what I am going to do going forward but I feel pretty fucking uncomfortable posting any images to Mastodon now lest I be shamed or reported or fediblocked because someone didn't like whatever about my posts.

Thanks for that.

Boosts highly encouraged I think everyone should see this.

Bye bye. You will not be missed.

Ps. I hope the door slams shut on your butt hard on your way out.

Seems like YouTube has reached the final stage of enshittification, if this is happening now.

How do you remove a role from a user? #MastoAdmin
All I see is a checkbox and a Suspend button... I don't want to suspend the user, just remove the right, does it mean suspend the right/role?

How the fuck do I follow a hashtag. I figured this out before?
Oh here's the problem, there needs to be a post that exists already with it.

i really appreciate the sysadmins that volunteer their time to keep the fediverse afloat. its wild the things that people do in their spare time, for basically zero pay, to keep this little segment of the internet good

The seeds of the NIST elliptic curves (P-256, P-386, etc.) were selected by the NSA and are rumored to be like

SHA-1("Jerry and Alice deserve a raise. 1398")

However, Jerry Solinas, who picked them, forgot them and then passed away this year.

We should crack them!

I'm announcing a $̵8̵,̵1̵9̵2̵ $12,288 (12 Ki$) bounty (tripled if donated to charity) for anyone cracking these hashes and solving this mystery.

if the fact that they're making sitting on ledges illegal or impossible to stop homeless people from sitting or sleeping on them hasn't radicalized you you should wake the fuck up, frankly

Was doing a walk at night and saw this weed/plant growing straight out of the middle of some concrete. Didn’t see any cracks or holes either.

Absolutely despicable. There are so many reasons I'd never buy a Tesla and this is just another.
