So I thought I'd spend a few hours deleting old emails. Probably useless me doing it if various people I've contacted have RAID copies they store on some server system somewhere, when I thought about it.
What was interesting is the purge I did some 9 months ago is still in my inbox after deletion. Bit weird.

Does anyone understand this #cookie Notice? There's one button which says "Sorry!! accept all cookies" on the @iscdotorg ISC's #DHCP doc's website, does anyone understand what that means? I can't see any other buttons, can that be translated as "sorry we have to track you, there's no details and no consent, yolo!"
My eldest informed me that starting tomorrow there is a boycott of YouTube to protest the age restriction b.s. they're going to be running.
Now's a good time to switch to another app like FreeTube or PeerTube. I just finished copying my subscription list to FreeTube this morning.
I regret that I won't be able to support my favorite creators with likes and comments but I hate YT and the enshittification more so there ya go.
Bonus: the FOSS alternatives are supposedly ad-free.
As promised, here we go: #Goophy in action. As you can see it's approaching an usable status.
Next steps: refactor more code, add a logging system and start my own gopherhole to test it in a real case scenario.
Schlechte Gastro-Bewertung: Kein Fall für die Persönlichkeitsrechtspolizei
Der verständige Nutzer erkenne in der Online-Sterne-Vergabe für ein Restaurant eine rein subjektive Meinungsäußerung, hat das Landgericht Berlin entschieden.
»Webseiten – Reddit sperrt das Internet Archive aus:
Die Snapshots des Internet Archives werden wohl für KIs genutzt. User sollen geschützt werden. Dabei verkauft Reddit diese bereits«
Ein Argument mehr um Reddit nicht mehr zu nutzen. Erst stolz KI einsetzen und nun wegen @internetarchive sperren, nicht für den Userschutz - für ihren Profit. Es gibt ja @LemmyWorld im Fediverse.

AOL schaltet Ende September Internet-Zugang per Modem ab
Wie viele Menschen in den USA sich noch über ein Modem ins Internet einwählten, ist unklar. Der Internetdienstleister AOL stellt seine Einwahl über Modem jedenfalls Ende September endgültig ein.
"The Internet Wants to Check Your I.D..
New safety rules require users to verify their identities before gaining access to sites. This spells the end of the relative anonymity that we’ve come to expect online."

My website has no ads, no cookies and no trackers. Bots stand no chance, because it is all hand-coded and is not database driven. Bots poison and choke the internet, just for advertisements and pushing political agendas. The best way to avoid bots is to not participate on those sites that are infested with them. Build websites where bots have no chance and place. It's possible. With a little effort, that is.

Currently indulging myself by reading about the enshittification of Substack lol.
It's sad, but predictable, how if you bring social media dynamics to a once-cosy platform of writers, things go to hell.
A well-known writer I follow who has 39k followers wrote about how things have drastically changed the last few months. Journalists, celebrities are now dominating the platform and small fry writers are no longer seen.
For me, I've seen an uptick of outrage content and reply guys and debate bros. It's sad how the moment one writes a narrative that the mob doesn't agree with, they pile on you.
This is the opposite of what Substack stood for in the past.
I will still use Substack, because I'm a practical person nor do I choose platforms based on its morality or ideals, but how it serves me. But it's sad because I remember how it was before the bigwigs tried to change it to the next Twitter.
However, this is a very good reminder for me to double, triple down on my website and remember NOT to "build a presence" and do more digital sharecropping than necessary on Substack.
