Hello #fediblockmeta, many people are discussing #thebadspace #blocklist after they blocked tech.lgbt, but few people went through all 355 pages to look at it the #badspace contents. I did that and want to share my findings.

I don't want attention or followers, but I want this post shared, so I am posting from an alt.

Thanks to a discord call I've been introduced properly to the chaos that is Ordinary Sausage

mh, family 

on Wednesday my stepmom was sent to the hospital. She's been feeling weak for a while. We don't know what's wrong with her, but we hope it's something curable.

I've been feeling depressed ever since. I've gone through this before with my birth mom, her being constantly in and out of hospitals in the later years of her life.

I don't know if I have the strength to go through this yet again.

I forget how silly The Price is Right gets sometimes.

(And yes, this was part of a showcase skit, with the prize being a Ms. Pac-Man machine.)

I've now reached the period in my Price is Right binge watch where I'm at Season 11, where The Price is Right: The Barker Era started their run.

These next few seasons will go by *really* quickly, as there's only a handful of episodes of that season on Youtube now, the rest got DMCA'd when they hit the streaming service.

Since I've already watched most of the Barker Era episodes, I'm okay with this as we'll get to the good stuff faster (1986 onward).

with the demise of discmaster is there any easier way to find 90s era web backgrounds, buttons, gifs etc, that isn't downloading compilation ISOs wholesale from internet archive and hoping it'll have what you want? :boost_ok:

We are currently witnessing the fallout from monopolization in the browser space. Back in 2007, Internet Explorer received much criticism for its phishing protection mechanism which transmitted all visited websites to Microsoft servers. Mozilla paired up with Google and designed a different system which performed most checks locally and preserved users’ privacy. That’s what healthy competition looks like.

Fast forward to 2023. Almost all web browsers in use are either Chrome or based on the Chromium browser engine. With the competition pretty much eliminated, Google is now pushing its “Enhanced Safe Browsing” down everyone’s throats – which is a nice sounding name for “every website you visit is sent to our servers.” The Internet Explorer approach from 2007 all over again, only that now it’s Google getting all this data. And they certainly won’t do anything evil with it. Yeah, sure.

Reminder: Firefox and Safari are the only remaining browsers worth noting which are not using Google’s browser engine.
