Inevitable but stupid.
- Comment on How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election? 2 weeks ago:
If they choose to still vote for more of this madness and the obvious damage to themself economically and socially, they're clearly in denial and there's little you or I can do to change their mind.
- Comment on Human ands pigs 3 weeks ago:
Yes. The term came from the Polynesian languages into English via Missionaries. The island people would war with their enemies and the winner got to eat the loser, calling them long pigs.
- Comment on Mattermost restricted access to old messages after 10000 limit is reached 1 month ago:
Yep, and very actively developed too.
Whilst I disagree with some of their technical decisions, it's really good at what it does.
This report is sad to read, and concerning that Mattermost are not communicating back to the community.

UK isn’t Europe* anymore
- European Union
- Comment on Imgur is now geoblocking the UK 3 months ago:
It's funny though, don't you think? None of the other European countries have been blocked, and they have the exactly same GDPR and child protection law that the ICO claims it is pursuing.
I personally think that Imgur banned the UK for simple business reasons. We don't generate enough income for them to bother adhering to GDPR plus the OSA. As Europe presses ahead with similar censorship legislation I imagine it will ban them too, or any of those that do pursue it for GDPR breaches.
This is fragmenting the internet is of course is bad for everyone.

But... Hasn't imgur been SFW only for a while now?
Maybe they got sent one of offcom's shitty letters and are kneejerking to prove a point. Bit poor there's been no statement from them before doing this.
