In light of the Internet Archive losing its appeal to hachette, I just wanted to point out some websites you should avoid:

* annas-archive.li/
* downmagaz.net/
* ebook-hunter.org/
* forcoder.net/
* freemagazines.top/
* liber3.eth.limo/

If you were to download books from these websites, you might cut into hachette's more than three billion dollars of annual revenue. So make sure to avoid those websites and the following:

* libgen.is/
* oceanofpdf.com/
* pdfroom.com/
* pdfstop.com/
* pdfdrive.to/
* pdfmagazines.club/
* sci-hub.se/
* singlelogin.re/
* ... or any of the other sites listed at rentry.co/megathread-books

Puh-lease cut it out with the tiny scrollbars, designers, there are people who use desktop, who want to scroll with a mouse/stylus using the scrollbar, or simply depend on proper scrollbars.

This has been frustrating me for years. This one is of a, well, sorry, Mastodon social.

@eniko @ointersexo@ursal.zone (Adam Ragusea has a video that goes into some of this, if you're interested in the details: youtube.com/watch?v=jxi_zVi0zS)

@eniko @ointersexo@ursal.zone One thing to keep in mind with cutting boards is that they'll chip and splinter no matter what material you use (by their nature), and it's not at all clear which material is safest here, AFAIK

"The developers are no good at <insert name of thing you've not allowed them to gain any experience at>"

@halcy @vyr (There's an analogy to be made here to compliance departments in corporations that call themselves 'security' even though they're just doing compliance work, which often *worsens* security)

@halcy @vyr I've had a similar experience and it's kind of depressing how many of these people genuinely seem to not understand that "corporate T&S" and "community safety and management" are two *completely* different things...

@vyr incidentally, this type thing is what I hear every single time someone tells me they're definitely qualified to talk about moderation because they worked in "Trust and Safety" at some kind of social media company

Back in the era where distrohopping meant having a whole spindle of burned CDs with distro names scribbled on them in marker.

Unimportant poll, but please boost.

If you lost your phone and needed to call someone in an emergency, how many close friends' or relatives' phone numbers do you have memorised?

Me: I should make an effort to meet some people my own age

People My Own Age: It was lovely to meet you last week. I seem to be having a gender crisis now, can you help?

I wonder how much e-waste could be reduced by legally mandating a minimum performance for core functionality of a computing device, to address the "buy a device, find it to be unusable, immediately replace it" problem

Hello everyone!! I've been working on a small project during the past few weeks.

It's a website that showcases a different small free game each day, which is selected entirely random.

If you want to take a look at it and/or submit one of your games, you can do it through here: gameoftheday.org/

@joepie91 There's even a lawsuit about whether runescape gold counts as a currency or not for the purposes of taxation, because two dutch gold selling sites got taxed differently. (imo much funnier than the much more famous 'runescape-arrest')

I enjoy video games because they allow me to live out my most perverted and unrealistic fantasies, like having a positive impact on the world

@smveerman Ik neem aan dat je 2025 bedoelde, anders is er toch iets mis met mijn tijdsbesef 😅

as a transfem it actually scares me that i am only seeing people talk about "transfem solidarity" anymore instead of "trans solidarity" like what the absolute fuck

like, im not surprised, ive been yelling into the void about shit like this for months it feels like, this is not okay you cant keep slicing off more and more of an intersectional, pluralistic revolutionary movement down to some core of imagined purity of identity and expect it to be meaningful or productive, not when youve alienated and dehumanized every marginalized community that ostensibly believes in your humanity and autonomy as much as you do but wont work with you against a common foe because of your need for control

Today I learned that there was once a TV ad for Runescape in the Netherlands
