Boosted some of my Masto and Pixelfed things too...
In less than two hours, I'll be in Skoosh, heading to my friends in Almere. Hope the drive will go well.
I'll need to sleep on a couch for two nights, so I'm very sure my back will be glad to be back in bed on Monday. 😉
And Skoosh should have her all-season shoes then. Yay for that too...
It will be a little emotional during my visit at some point, as I will bring the Arwen memorial heart to my friends.
Well, I best pack my bag a bit and then get some food, so that I'll be all good and ready to go when the time comes.
Catch you all later! 😁

in reply to Tio • •Exactly my feeling these days with the modern internet. I was updating my adblocker recently and had to disable it for a moment and then I forgot to re-enable it back and oh my fucking god.. I had to witness what the modern internet looks like without constanly blocking the shit flow of pop-ups, ads, banners and ai chat windows, fucking hell. I totally agree, I dunno how people use it these days without blocking anything, total disaster. I would be pissed off after a minute of using that shit.
There's this "joke" website to mock on the "modern internet experience" that for long time I giggled about: how-i-experience-web-today.com… but we went even waaay beyond that already I think 😵💫

in reply to Roma • •I noticed people who watch youtube and have ads playing. I was shocked by the fact that they simply have accepted that. I would throw my phone into the bin if that was the case. Ads after ads after ads.
how-i-experience-web-today.com this website is really on point I swear!!
What a fucking shitshow the internet has become....but I am not surprised at all, I was sure it will become like this. If the incentive is to trade, then profit, data collection, restricted content and more ads are a normal practice...

Some examples how I do it differently:

Yea, in the end Drupal is (or was, or still is) very clean, no adware, paywalls or premiums.
- Youtube -> I ~haven't opened Youtube in many years, but yes, it increasingly and ever more aggressively blocks alternatives. Alternatives as of now still work.

in reply to Mindaugas • • •"Censorship -> I have not experienced it somehow"
Remembered few exceptions. Once I opened facebook (usually I never use it) and wrote a post about dangers of AI and it immediately disappeared, so I thought facebook was censoring it (and there are endless news stories about big tech censoring alternatives: facebook deleting info about linux or pixelfed, or x censoring info about signal or mastodon etc.). So yea, I had some little experience with big tech and immediately they censored.
