There’s a lot of businesses, organizations, companies, Devlopers, and etc that use it as home base. Want to follow what x, y, and z indie dev is up to working on the sequel to your favorite game? Guess what, they didn’t want to roll a website and social media activitly works against cross posting compatibility so they’re just on Twitter. Want to follow an account that only sends something out when a internet service goes offline, and be notified about it? Better hope they thought out a open alternative because almost exclusively the companies I’ve worked with update these matters on their Twitter. I’ve even had their Twitter inform me of issues before their own status.company.com pages (frankly egregious but alas). The cesspool definitely exists, but as a tool/town hall Twitter had won. It’s a mere shadow of it’s former self in this regard nowadays since king elongate the fucked took over, but the after affects as well as the hole in the market remain.

Don’t worry. His entire set is the joke.
2·1 month agoHaha, I was reading through these and realized we both named our catch a rides after a borderlands theme. Mine is Hyperion, or hype for short.
Hyperion, Hype for short.

It is a high risk job along the lines of coal mining and such, since it will result in an increase in transmitted disease risk. It’s important to acknowledge that, but I am on the side of it being work. I just think we need strong protections in place and regulations to handle it akin to other dangerous jobs. Like, a sex work branch of OSHA.
Not to mention ads have been caught being straight up malware and phishing without any real vetting on behalf of the ad companies. Malware has even gotten to the top of Google search results just by buying an ad slot they didn’t vet. It’s become a legitimate and serious security concern.
+1 for namecheap. They’ve been reliable and fair to me for years.
Since people here are critiquing you instead of actually assisting, I’d have you take a look at tailscale. You can use it to easily create a resistant vpn between your home and your work network, allowing the traffic to bypass filtering.

This, this, 💯 this. When there’s a sizable push into a Android future that isn’t #GuidedByGoogle in the same way Chromium/Chrome is, I’ll consider it. Until then its just open source paint on a proprietary cow.

12·3 months agoCan we not do politics? I generally like the comics sub, but my exposure to politics on lemmy, social media, wherever is at such all time peak nonsensical levels that I just block all politic related subs, and would like this not to be one of them.
That is the question best asked I suppose.
Just pondering the difference between something that is practically inescapable in a finite human lifespan vs something that is surely escapable given a removal of that metric. Merely the first thought I had when enjoying the art, no point to be made of it… More mumblings of a idle fool/thinker?
Divine right of kings lasted for a long long long time, and caused the deaths of untold millions
Yeah. Just how it goes unfortunately. Consumer buy-in is vastly underrepresented in the technology world. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc have all leveraged customer and community laziness to push the boundaries without much blowback. If Elon’s tenure over twitter/xitter shows anything, it’s that.
