Someone has made a @gabwatch bot which reports all new instances that use Gab's fork of the Mastodon software.

I'm now following it and blocking every instance it lists (after verifying them myself) from federating with . This should in theory be redundant with our server config level block of the Gabsocial user agent, but I believe in defence in depth.

Why libraries are the greatest places on earth:

- books
- free!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- quiet, so quiet, so peaceful is heaven
- people leave you alone
- also movies and computers and things
- staff literally know everything and want you to know everything thanks
- you can stay the whole time they're open and not have to pay anything at all
- you can get lost in the big ones and that's cool
- mmm smells of wisdom

Pretty clear to me! 👍

🚨 ℹ️ : As you can see, we are back online. The reason we were offline was because of a DDoS attack.

According our server provider this was a very professional large scale attack. We are guessing this came from the far-right, but we don't have any proof of course. We are thinking about a long term solution.

criminalize DRM

Glad you asked!
1. Pages load twice as fast
2. Laptop battery lasts longer
3. My privacy isn't invaded by 50 different douchebro Silicon Valley companies
4. Your fucking site doesn't slow down my computer to a crawl and I can actually read your fucking articles

Disabling the ability to #boot from #USB on the #raspberry pi 4 is criminal. Whatever be the reason and explanation for it. They perfected it on the #3b+ and then on the 4 it isnt there. I believe that it is a killer feature.

YES, I KNOW MY ENEMIES
THEY'RE THE TEACHERS WHO TAUGHT ME TO FIGHT ME
COMPROMISE
CONFORMITY
ASSIMILATION
SUBMISSION
IGNORANCE
HYPOCRISY
BRUTALITY

Adobe Creative Cloud holds creative works hostage: if you stop paying the monthly fee or if Adobe's servers go down, you can't edit your work. Once you buy into the Adobe ecosystem, you're stuck there and forced to pay rent.

There are many free open alternatives which give you full control over your work without locking you down:

People talk like blocking fascists automatically turns any space into an "echo chamber". The fediverse we've built up over the years is proof of the contrary. I've learned and grown through this place. I've been able to apply that knowledge in real life. We've got something real here, and I think it's with fighting to preserve.

Do boost and block.
Nazi dont need a platform and certainly not ours

Even tech-savvy people can fall victim to spear phishing attacks. This cautionary tale by @RobJHeaton shows how creative hackers can be. The lesson here? Never click on a link from someone you don’t know unless you’re 100% sure it’s legitimate. https://robertheaton.com/2019/06/24/i-was-7-words-away-from-being-spear-phished/

Control your presence in the world. Always own your platform.

I don't care if you're a writer with dozens of books, an artist known across the world, or a young punk cutting your first theremin-and-thrash-guitar demos.

Control your creative work.

Sites that "make stuff easy for you?" Who "handle the grunt work" for you? They do not put your interests first.

"I'll leverage Medium until I'm famous, then go full indie?" No. You've built up Medium, not your name.

Alan Turing will feature on the new polymer £50 note, entering circulation in 2021. ^_^

'“He set the foundations for work on artificial intelligence by considering the question of whether machines could think,” the Bank said. “Turing was homosexual and was posthumously pardoned by the Queen, having been convicted of gross indecency for his relationship with a man. His legacy continues to have an impact on both science and society today.”'

when chuds come into your mentions to say that women, cis or trans, have no place in video games, remind them that the very first video game champion in 1980 was programmer superstar rebecca heineman https://archive.org/details/Atari_Finals_Clip_Archive
