@atomicpoet @gruber There is a lot of petulant nannyism on Mastodon, but it's easy to avoid, so it's kind of a moot point.

@atomicpoet reading this description is the first time I've considered looking into it - this should be more obvious as a selling point

@vicgrinberg I've got a heap of art books in a family members closet in another country, and I miss them dearly 😭 one day I'll figure out a cheap way of getting them sent to me...

@adaspota wow! I've just discovered this journal thanks to your post, and am already entranced. Looking forward to reading your work, and exploring more of the amazing work inside!

Seth Godin on the money again:

Of course, as we race to fill in every moment with swiping, surfing and clicking, it’s easy to forget that we’re allowed to leave some blank spaces. In fact, not just allowed, but if we want to live well, required.

@atomicpoet good riddance to them.

@fox @treelzebub Grrrr, I do hate the web chats... I wish there was a good way to block them.

With regards to notification requests, they got to me also so I have turned them off. If you've not already and are able to ignore them, you can disable them completely https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1141800

@treelzebub @fox I haven't yet needed pi-hole, tho have heard great things from friends who use it. Perhaps my browsing habits have saved me? (avoiding FAANG, preference for independent providers, private browsing, etc)

@fox Nooooo! :( I wonder if it's got something to do with the sites we visit, or my using DDG over Google?

@fox I rarely have to deal with anything but GDPR notices, and haven't for about a decade: Firefox + uBlock Origin + Privacy Badger.

@shoq @MetalSamurai @atomicpoet @gruber that's why we're here, and others are elsewhere. I'd like to say it's just 'cause we've been 'round the block, but many others have by now. Who was it who said give me convenience or give me death? We've taken a different approach. But people will be people.

@MetalSamurai @atomicpoet @gruber for sure. I am no fan of bluesky. Doesn't change the fact it's easier to onboard when you reduce the decisions a user has to make.
