The Russian government has ordered a partial block of ProtonMail, preventing some Russian mail servers from reaching us. We have managed to restore services at this time. More information about the block and our recommendations can be found here: https://protonmail.com/blog/russia-block/

Polyamory
*your partner shows affection to another*
Monoamorists: No! That means less affection for me!
Polyamorists: Yes! That means more affection for them!

Sometimes I am reluctant to follow someone who doesn't follow me cause it seems like too much of a commitment. What if I follow someone and then they follow me back and then I realize following them was a mistake? I'd feel like a jerk if I unfollow them, cause maybe they only followed me cause I followed them. But I don't want their content in my timeline. Easier to just let them make the first move

I love having a geeky friend...
Me: I'm going to flood you with SYN
Friend: You can take all the bandwidth you need

Made my keyboard act as a kind of LED progressbar and show my current CPU usage 😊

I got a haircut today and I've already gotten a senior discount, but I'm only in my 30s. Should I ask for my money back on my haircut?
Am I the only one who intentionally chooses one wrong picture on #ReCaptcha just cause it's a fun matching game and I want to play more?
If you're working to #degoogle, you may want to check out https://get.google.com/albumarchive . It had a bunch of pictures that I *thought* that I had deleted years ago still there. I deleted them again...

the fediverse reminds me a lot of how things used to be in the '90s a.k.a. the golden age of computing
back when we all had our own dorky fuckin websites on tripod or angelfire or geocities, all unique, all human
back before the internet was taken over by soulless monolithic corporations bent on forcing spy cameras into their users' every orifice
back before advertisers had built themselves a surveillance empire to dwarf the NSA's
back when we were all genuine and sincere and *ourselves.* even if we were total fuckin dorks
all of a sudden these little grassroots social spaces are popping up, with unique and quirky domains, full of people who aren't such cowards that they spend their lives hiding behind a curtain of ironic detachment. it's like the experimental chaos of the '90s but tempered by experience and improved by new technology
there's a reason IRC and pleroma are the only ways i actually *like* interacting with ppl online

Twitter.ActivityPub.Actor is now fully working (I think)! It is still in beta.
Basically now, you don't need to use @DavidLibeau@twitter.com anymore : you can use @DavidLibeau ! #Mastodon #ActivityPub
Just enabled #2FA on #HumbleBundle. Had to unblock Google temporarily to get through #ReCaptcha, but it was worth it! Feel more secure already
Politics, internet privacy
I clicked on a mildly interesting ad on the bird site and it brought me to a page that was completely covered with a cookie warning, so I closed it. People insisting on using cookies to access their sites anonymously even after #GDPR forbids it needs to rethink their design
