Is it normal that I get physically ill when my co-workers talk proudly about using VS Code ?

That seems like a normal response to me.

So I decided to actually use #pocket. Not just in #firefox, but sign up for it and use it.

Over the last few months I've found most of the stories I get recommended are the kind of light clickbait and opinion found on sites like vox or vice. Very little of what people are calling 'fake news', but also very little of substance. Same for when I perform searches in pocket.

It's not bad for what it is, but I'm fairly certain I don't need what it is.

Some things that I have noticed since I quit #Facebook:

- My family still loves me and still talks to me
- Old friends from high-school still talk to me
- Old friends from college still talk to me
- I still meet new people
- I still make new friends
- I still shop at local businesses
- I'm still aware of events in my community

Huh, it's almost like I never needed Facebook in the first place.

my fears were justified: no #Ada in #GuixSD's #gcc package

looking forward to hacking together a package for GNAT

If I were to set up a pixelfed instance, would people want to use it? It looks like I can probably run it on Linode for $5-$10/month so server costs wouldn't be too big of a problem, maybe someone just mails me some beer once in a while?

We just donated €240 to the #OpenBSD Foundation, totaling €2300 so far.

We added 24 VMs in January. 35 more available on server7.

Thank you all!

TIL content blockers in iOS only affect safari. i guess i figured since every browser has to use apple’s engine because of their draconian policies, the blockers would affect them all, but nope

The biggest scam of green capitalism is putting the burden and blame of recycling on consumers instead of producers and distributors who make and proliferate all the crap that is meant to find itself in a garbage bin 5 seconds after use to begin with.

Toot, toot!

Opps what's up here?

Duckduckgo now started to send a request to "improve.duckduckgo.com" on each search request including: The search term, the country and some other information.

The good news is that they have a document about it:
https://duck.co/help/privacy/atb

Make up your own mind about it. "Privacy by design" is their statement. Do you think that's privacy by design? uBlock Origin decided to cancel those requests on my side.

It seems that there is only one wallabag client on #Android and about four - on iOS. It feels strange...
