MySpace has lost all music uploaded between 2003 and 2015.

There are no backups.

Don't trust cloud services. One day Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr will be gone too. YouTube will shut down, and so will Google Drive, OneDrive and DropBox.

Always keep a local copy.

#WeAreNameless

Google is having an outage apparently affecting everything from GMail to Drive, Play, Music etc'.

Just a reminder that even a giant megacorporation with backups of backups of backups can have an accident.

I think [Got it!] buttons are my biggest tech pet peeve now days.

They feels like [Ok]'s condescending asshole uncle.

Here's an idea: a #NoJS challenge.

Making a website? Avoid using JavaScript.

See how much of the functionality and design you were planning can be done using plain HTML, CSS and other web technologies that are now embedded in the typical browser without needing JavaScript code to do any of it.

Even if it seems impossible, look it up. It just might be possible.

There's so much stuff in there now, even a seasoned webmaster could be surprised.

@lain funny thing is sex was always censored on the big websites, this is nothing new.

What's new is that we've consolidated most of the web and other net services to less than 10 websites and act surprised when their content moderation kills our ability to express ourselves.

Sometimes low-tech is a cooler solution than high-tech.

I've just stumbled on DarkStar, a Xerox Star emulator.

The GUIs we use today are a direct evolution of the work done on Xerox PARC in the 70's, resulting in the Alto and other Xerox computers that pioneered GUI on consumer products until Steve Jobs dropped by the lab for a visit.

The Star (1981) was more polished than the Alto and is definitely worth checking out!

The website has configuration info & links to software downloads.

What stable decentralized alternatives do we have for DNS beside Namecoin? I can't seem to find anything serious.

PSA: Even with you profile set to not being Google indexable, other instances cloning your feed will not respect this setting thereby exposing your posts to Google.

Anything you don't want to be publicly indexed by search engines should not be posted as public.

Average people in my area are starting to move from WhatsApp to Telegram. This surprises me given how resistant these people were for anything that isn't WhatsApp, but now it's okay because Everyone is Doing It™.

This shows is that the average user have no problem switching as long as the rest of the herd starts moving first. They are there to be part of the herd.

So, what causes the critical point that gets a herd moving? In this particular case, WhatsApp has too small a limit on group chat memberships.

@MightyPork it reads カピストーブ - "Kapisuto-bu".
Kapi being short for Capybara, Suto-bu meaning stove, which is heater.

So, Capybara heater~ :blobmiou:

Have a little 1990 anime CG.

The fun thing is that despite all of these impressive specs in the end this is a traffic department police vehicle.

I just love the design on the Patlabor's "glove" controls for delicate manual finger movement.

I still want one of those :blobcat:
