Stop using Brave Browser.

Seriously.

https://www.spacebar.news/p/stop-using-brave-browser

If someone recommends Brave to you, you should ignore them, because they are wrong. Brave Browser is a mess of a software project, and the company building it is even worse.

jbrr,

@tcely @mrguragain @lproven That site gives Brave a very high score.

Related to the arresting folks cooking dinner for the unhoused community, a few updates. First, they could use help with bail money. Second, they were in the process of rescuing someone who was overdosing when the cops showed up and started beating on them. Absolutely sickening. https://twitter.com/FQmondays/status/1681331052864847874

Mastodon is great, the only thing I miss on this app is quote posts. I know they have a bad rap bc of Twitter, but every major social network has this functionality for a reason (Tumblr, LinkedIn, Facebook, IG). As a journalist, I’d love to add commentary and amplify great info, build on ppl’s points, etc. You just can’t do that the same wait with replies! Is there any chance we might get them on here?

jbrr,

@taylorlorenz @MonaApp has client side support for QTs. They might look a little wonky on other clients, though…

IG announces they’re working toward making Threads compatible with ActivityPub, which means it would work with apps like Mastodon and WordPress. https://creators.instagram.com/blog/introducing-threads

jbrr,

@taylorlorenz I’m a little worried about how Meta will inevitably try to bend the fediverse to their will and start data harvesting somehow, but I guess we’ll see how it goes and move on to the next circle of hell as necessary ¯_(ツ)_/¯

https://www.patreon.com/andcomputers is making blacktwitter.io

https://blackqueer.life/ is a welcoming community for all Black queer, trans, and gender nonconforming people

https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-new-way-to-social-media Ro is making a new way to social media

jbrr,

@erlend @evan I’d love one! I’ve been wanting to check it out…

jbrr,

@erlend @evan I can only afford to donate a little bit to that Patreon right now, unfortunately, I was laid off a few weeks ago, but I absolutely love the idea.

jbrr,

@evan @erlend I couldn’t help myself, Roland’s GoFundMe sounded really cool. But yeah, thanks! And thank you for calling attention to all these projects!

jbrr, to python

I got laid off a few weeks ago and the job hunt is starting to hurt my soul. Is anybody out there #hiring #python software or data engineers?
#tech #jobhunt #FediHire #fedijobs #fedihired

jbrr,

I’m in shock y’all. I didn’t think anyone would see this, and I’m overwhelmed by the love and support. I’ll be sure to pay it forward. Thank you, fediverse, I love you all ❤️

jbrr,

@lps Oh I know it. I don’t want to talk shit in public, but eat the rich.

    jbrr,

    @GossiTheDog @adamjcook I wonder if this will result in Alex Jones getting the ever-loving shit sued out of himself again, only this time by Tucker and Elon. Alex has been reposting Tucker’s videos on his own site, almost certainly without permission.

    jbrr, to transgender

    A caller on the Majority Report told the heartbreaking story of his friend Ailis Kennedy, a #transgender Denver comedian whose life was cut tragically short. It's poignant and well worth listening to.
    It’s not ok to criticize things like “birthing person” and consider yourself an ally. That’s not important right now. Standing up to the overwhelming dehumanization of trans folx is infinitely more important.
    And to my trans friends: you're loved, and I've got your back ❤️

    I gotta say, @MonaApp is an absolute joy to use, both on desktop and mobile. It makes me want to use Mastodon more.
