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.

Both. If I can get up before lunch I will have a morning tea, then an afternoon coffee, & often an even tea—or if I have access to mate or guayusa (difficult here).

I used to be a heavy diet soda drinker, but my body hasn’t been responding well to it with stomach cramps in recent years. I used to hate tea since sweet tea & Nestea was all that was on offer where I grew up. I developed a highfalutin tea taste accidently when one of my old apartments was near a coffee/tea shop I would go to after work where due to free water to resteep, tea was a better bargain for the caffeine & they only had really good loose leaf (I would just have the staff recommend me something new each time). My face when I first went to the UK, known for the tea-loving stereotypes, on business after developing a taste. I rolled into a random café with my newly acquired tea knowledge & asked what sorts of teas they had to the response of “black & green”, Naïvely, “Umm, okay. Where is your green tea from?” She lifts an object, looks me in the eye with a vocal eyeroll “this box”. Working-class tea is very different to what I accidently became accustomed to.

Coffee was the same where it was gross instant Folger’s on the grandparents’ breath growing up. I would occasionally order a latte or mocha (no sugar) just to break up the monotony of tea now in Thailand where outside of the northern region, there is little understanding of good tea (just a flavor to add to your condensed milk lol). But the indie coffeeshops with friendly baristas slowly over the course of many years taught me how to taste the variety single-origin coffees offer. I would say I now slightly prefer coffee since the flavor gamut is broader & I found stuff I truly enjoy finally.

For that reason tho, I keep the kettle at home for tea only since I can buy the good stuff in bulk inexpensively to handle myself whereas I keep the coffee for the cafés so I have a good excuse actually leave the home when I work remote.

When you plug in in to charge, the device is at rest. When you plug in headphones, there’s a high chance it is in a pocket or otherwise in a state where the device is moving which will be a lot more wear than just idling charging.

The low-end Chinese IEMs from the likes of MOONDROP, TRUTHEAR, etc. in that $20 range are surprisingly good if anyone is interested in picking up a spare.

Exactly. You should consider it too… at a bare minimum have a bridge. If you are a small project that doesn’t have the funds Libera.chat & OFTC exist to be used for this exact purpose.

If you manage the WordPress installation, can’t you disable the ability or create/install a plugin that removes that ability? This hurts usability.

I like Kitty since users can configure the terminal to always turn off ‘programming ligatures’ (aka ligature misuse).

Bidets are the way even when not experiencing diarrhea & it’s weird so many places it’s no the norm. It’s real weird to find a places without the hose sitting right next to the throne when you are finished.
