What does indexing have to do with actually getting to own your data & not participating in corporate-owned social media? If you want to straight hide it all, you would never post it to the internet. Most of us sought the refuge of Lemmy to avoid these platforms & know our post aren’t harvested to profit for a Lemmy IPO.

Recruiters can find you regardless, but also are not very useful for getting a job versus having a network & the cut they take means you get the shaft if hired thru them too. A platform like LinkedIn is drivel that will absolutely rot your mind so it should be an easy skip.

You can easily self-host your static landing pages. There are decentralized (& self-hostable) social media options—such as Lemmy that you are on now. There is no need to involve Microsoft, & these big places like Reddit, or whatever, someone will eventually repost your content if it is good.

Also you code forge itself doesn’t need to be social media web 2.0. You can keep these separate.

Cheeky answer would be: CodeForges ∩ {MS GitHub}^c^ (anything but)

I’ve been primarily using Darcs & a little Pijul, but have been using Codeberg when I need to use Git or just self-hosting via SSH.

IIRC it might be on by default (tho this would hurt anonymity if you can request JXL files & stock Fx cannot), else open about:config & search for “jxl”. Upstream has kept this flag—toggle on or off—only working in Fx Nightly.

On the go: Truthear Nova IEMs + DAC via Sony Xperia 5 III LineageOS for microG phone or Shanling Q1 DAP (rarely Sony WF-1000XM3 if wireless is a requirement)

At home: Moondrop Variations IMEs + DAC via Moto M2 audio interface (all machines running Linux)

Music from: Bandcamp or Soulseek via Nicotine+, occasionally YouTube for discovery

Significant white space is awesome! Not supporting tabs tho shows you don’t know what you are doing, YAML.

Yes & no is my take. Usually no Linux support means a free software app is born to replace it which is awesome--or better, a previously-obscure or deserves-revitalization free software application gets its moment in the sun (rather than reinventing shit that already works cough Matrix). …The downside is when employers/client/etc. demand you use some proprietary sludge so luckily you have Electron app to get over that hurdle--tho 90% of apps in this category largely should be fine in PWA form instead of needing Electron.

Capitalism forces developers hands into taking the cost-cuttingest approach to everything over doing it right.

I got a chunk of friends & family to Signal a couple years back. Now I have some regrets due to the architectural decisions of the Signal ecosystem (and that battery drain + Electron app being huge). I wish I had had resources for an XMPP server as even a lazy person could run Snikket, but now they don’t want to remigrate after on a few years.

Nah, Canadians are cool. Approved.

That’s still Cult of vi. It counts. But you have to choose one side & fight for it til you’re freed of your mortal coil.
