I'd much rather you set up a blog category with an RSS feed and I control my subscription to your updates, than you set up an email newsletter, ask for my email, and you control my subscription.

That's very sage advice. -

Ever-growing list of websites that don’t work at all or show a plain white page without #JavaScript is a testament to the cesspool that is modern web development
I browse without JS on mobile to save my meager bandwidth (8mb for JS libs from 10 different sources), to save battery life, and to avoid the deluge of on-page malarkey that make most sites unusable

@danyspin97 this is why I don't trust Signal. Why is Moxie so opposed to F-Droid (or even Debian) compiling #Signal clients from source rather than using his binaries? If he does all the compiling, it doesn't matter that both the client and server source code are on public repos, because we only have his word for it that this is the code he's actually compiling from. Every claimed virtue of Signal, including passing an audit, depends on us trusting that he is compiling from the audited code.

- a microSD card weighs somewhere around 0.4g
- the highest capacity microSD that's easily available is 256GB
- a trebuchet can throw a 90kg projectile over 300m90kg worth of microSD cards is 225,000 of them
Therefore a trebuchet can throw 57.6PB of data over 300m
This would have the highest throughput of any telecommunications network ever created

Sorry. 1) I don't know. 2) Don't think that will help. 3) Never heard of it. -

Sadly, the truly anonymous Hooktube is no more. I think they were threatened with legal action around the beginning of July. Hooktube is now no more than a YouTube OEmbed in their website, which gives all the surveillance demographics to Google. See the author's @swack Tweet at https://twitter.com/swack/status/1018665375364501506
It's too bad -- the original Hooktube had facilities for downloading the video in various encodings and resolutions, audio-only, &c. For that, there's still youtube-dl https://youtube-dl.org/
