Reclaiming RSS

“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”

Beginning June 11, no more free API key for Google Maps (now Google Maps Platform) if you don't provide a credit card.

A lot of custom Google maps that have been created over the years will likely no longer work.

Time to use #leaflet and #openstreetmap

Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.

If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.

Alright hear me out. Trump is Light. Manafort is Misa. Mueller is a combination of L and Near. Tom Arnold is Mello. This is 100% accurate.

Yup, checks out.

BREAKING: The EU JURI committee has passed #Article13. This requires sites to filter all submissions against a database of copyrighted works—creating a #CensorshipMachine that puts thousands of daily activities and millions of Internet users at the mercy of algorithmic filters.

@todd 👋 😀 Welcome to the fediverse, Todd!

Welp, looks like I won't be posting on adultsearch anymore, especially considering the news that law enforcement is now using facial recognition to create a database of sex workers under the guise of identifying trafficking victims. Once they have your bank card & your face is logged in that database, you'll never make it through customs again, never step foot in a Vegas casino & will be harassed by LE. Oh & You can say bye bye to your bank accts too.

oh my god

While on the subject of fans - fans don't cool down a room, they cool down humans. AC motors are very efficient, but they still generate heat. Heat that you then have to get rid of somehow, which will probably cost you more money. Running a fan in a room you're not in costs you money for uselessly running a fan, and MORE money to get rid of the heat it creates. Treat fans like they're lights, and turn them off when you leave the room.
