Freelancer platforms that have paying stuff do exist, but it requires effort to learn how to use them; and during the long learning curve, one is usually grossly underpaid and sometimes scammed and or cheated.

If in financial emergency it’s often better to not try this and try menial work outside industry. But one can find it as a decent resource stream after some trial and error which can take a year or more to learn

Yet here we are, it and the plugins handle too much of my daily traffic. It’s easy to dismiss the piss poor coding, but is done at our peril.

Everyone of us has personal data stored in those God awful plugins, in their thousands of basic security holes

The population has been made isolated at the community level. There are very few local groups doing any reaction at all to this.

And violent reactions which are successful are a group action; it’s very seldom an individual, in any era of history, changed the politics by themselves.

And as long as there are no impromptu gatherings of significant frequency, there will be very little violence.

The internet is not a replacement for community driven change which powers all social and political movements, peaceful or not.

The turning point, if there is one, will be lots of local meetings by the thousands , and not until then. No matter how violent or passive the individuals be

Back in my day, there were no guides; except for books that had to be bought or borrowed, one learned by hacking code until it worked or, better yet, had a helpful person in the same room give tips.

After the internet came into being, there started to be guides, at first many were ok. Then people realized they could write slop and make money or get internet points or credit. So now here we are, today, with many horrible tutorials, some middling, some good ones, about to be buried by AI

It’s compatible with banning original links, and can break later

Hi, just a guess. But

The retryafter=86400 value is too large (> 600), will not retry anymore.

Seems to me like the call to your server in the verification step is failing.

Do you have port 80 blocked or stopping the call in another way ?

There has been a large exit the last few months too

Honestly this is very unimportant. It has no lasting impact, and will be forgotten by most later

I agree that powdered is better and cheaper.

The microplastics issue is more contentious, and while many say it’s bad that it enters the water supply, I suspect the smallest of the particles do not wash away so well

Neighborhood politics, social gatherings, community hotspots has massively declined in the last two generations,

It’s really hard to organize anything face to face?

Perspective can definitely change when one experiences needless suffering or death, or watches a loved one go through that

There is too much blame to go around, and not enough people and orgs wanting to acknowledge blame.

Trump did not become a household name randomly. He was helped and aided by many. And I have noticed hundreds of times how the main stream media enabled his word salad and gave it meaning and power. In real life, not many people listen to blathering hateful idiots.
