With Google & Meta blocking Canadian news, what next?
  • You’re hoping Google “wins” a “fight” against the government of Canada for the regulation of its news business, and your rationale is that “government regulation of the internet” has contributed to “death”… and your example of that is North Korea?!!

    That’s incredibly odd, sorry to say. It’s the strangest excuse for corporate bootlicking I have ever heard. It makes no sense at all to put all “governments” in the same category — Canada with North Korea and Russia, all in the same bag. And it’s even worse that you’re using these countries as examples when the news story here is about Canada making Google pay news publishers for use of their stories. Is this what North Korea does? North Koreans die by the thousands because their search engines have to pay the state news publisher?

  • Elon Musk Says Twitter Is Going To Get Rid Of The Block Feature, Enabling Greater Harassment
  • I think that falls into the “necessary for your job” exception. Even authors who don’t want to be in a pro-Nazi platform will be nagged into it by agents and publishers… at least for now. Maybe when Elon goes full alt-reich that’ll change.

  • Elon Musk Says Twitter Is Going To Get Rid Of The Block Feature, Enabling Greater Harassment
  • Anyone still on Twitter (who doesn’t absolutely need to be on Twitter for their job) must either enjoy harassing others or somehow enjoy being harassed?

    I have no clue why anyone who isn’t a right-wing dingbat would use Twitter for fun or whatever. It’s so not fun to be on a platform run by a little manbaby, for a little manbaby.

  • Intel Open Sources New 'One Mono' Font for Programmers
  • It looks nice I guess, but I like ligatures and I like narrow fonts (so you can fit your 80 columns into a smaller window), so I’ll personally remain a Iosevka slut for now. The idea of an accessible font for low-vision devs is great, though.

  • Something I WONT miss from Reddit/other social medias
  • Yeah, the humor on big subreddits always tended to be so juvenile. It was cringeworthy whenever a “haha boobs lol” kind of joke got upvoted to the top of threads. Folks here seem to be much more in control of themselves!

  • Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit?
  • I’m still in denial. I know Apollo is going away, I know I’m deleting my Reddit account on June 30. But I still don’t feel like any of it is real. Reddit has become such an integral part of my online life that I’m not sure how to even process this whole thing.
