Deleted my post about the sexual harassment I'd received on Fedi, because it was driving more sexual harassment toward me.

Y'all want women on Fedi? Fight that shit. I can't do it for you.

I don't care if you like the sparkle emoji and don't appreciate my using it to refer to so-called "AI" nonsense. Please stop telling me how wrong you think I am. It's annoying.

Just an FYI in case anyone was interested: if you're printing something potentially clandestine, be careful about where you print it.

Hot take: good riddance. I dislike the middle click thing. Trips me up all the time as someone who accidentally clicks it when scrolling.

I think the right move is to make this (undoubtedly useful to some) behavior opt-in, not opt-out.

A lot of the gripes I see are just people being mad because GNOME makes choices they don't like. I don't understand why people write like this about GNOME, if you don't like it don't use it, your emotions make you look petty, etc etc.

I love reading. I love writing. I love coding. I love drawing. I love creating.

Go ahead and make the slop machines faster, you can't take away what I love.

"We don't want people scraping GitHub"

I mean sure... Microsoft wants the exclusive rights to scrape GitHub for themselves.

I'm convinced GitHub is doing this to force folks to sign in. I got this on my first visit today. I do not sign in to GitHub.

GitHub's "Too many requests" page, with a highlight around "signing in may provide a higher rate limit if you are not already signed in".

Has anyone started a GoFundMe to buy the shattered husk of Mozilla branding for the inevitable collapse?

Maybe we can make them an offer, lol

"I supported MDN and all I got was this t-shirt and open web documentation"

Come on, we'd all be wearing the crap out of that shirt.
