My user experience has been *so* much better since I canceled all my big streaming subscriptions.

No commercials, no mobile games (WTF Netflix?), no logins, no geo-restricted content, no shitty UIs, no buffering issues, no licensing battles and walled gardens, no nasty emails about watching from multiple locations, no "how are we doing" popups, no complaints about my VPN, no "you seem to be using an ad-blocker" warnings, no predatory pricing, no "oops we lost your data" notices...

But you know what I do get? A huge selection of content, to watch when, where, and how I see fit.

Yarr.

The more and more old servers I see close, the more intolerable it is that Mastodon still doesn't offer a way to migrate data like posts to new accounts. A user's post history is valuable, and it's more valuable the older the account is. Users *should* have the option to migrate those to a new server!

Replanting
The act of moving a post you once made, that was in a bad environment (parasites, etc), over to your digital garden. It may live in isolation, due to climate change (Google AI), but at least the post will be cared for and grow strong roots again.

Example: https://cybercultural.com/p/tim-berners-lee-interview-2009/

(I am in the process of replanting a bunch of my other early or classic RWW posts, into my current digital garden: Cybercultural)

- Us fountain pen fans are so into collecting inks, it's easy to forget that the average person only stocks a few Iroshizukus and Emerald of Chivor.

- And Diamine Quartz Black, of course.

- Of course.

From my first story in Teen Vogue:

Thanks to Texas’s version of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay" bill, teachers at some public schools are under pressure to deadname their students. Under #Texas Senate Bill 12 (SB 12), which was signed into law this summer, some schools are forcing transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming students to go by their legal names, rather than by their correct chosen names.

“It’s been really degrading because it’s so targeted,” said James, a transmasculine high school senior in San Antonio’s North East Independent School District (NEISD). “This can’t be interpreted…as anything else but an attack directly on trans kids.” (Teen Vogue is using pseudonyms for many of the students, teachers, and others interviewed for this article to protect them from possible harassment and/or retaliation for speaking with the press.)

James and other trans students in his school are struggling with the district's implementation of the law. An email from his high school’s principal sent home to families just before the first day of classes read, “We cannot accommodate requests from students or parents for names that suggest a different biological sex.”

Yet another reason to stop using Chrome: Gemini is coming right into the browser, including the address bar ("Omni bar") by default. These features are computationally expensive at scale, privacy-destroying, and just plain annoying.

correction: I couldn't add a poll or attachment to a quote post in the mastodon web client (and I'm guessing the iOS client, I think I saw this restriction somewhere in the code) but I was able to do it in my app just now, so looks like the API allows it.

Just a little note to say that Nokogiri hit a billion downloads at some point in the last couple of weeks. 🎉

Thanks to everyone who's contributed over the last 17 years, it's been amazing to be a part of it.

i spent the past couple days talking to people who reached out to me from a community that i was a part of for the past six? months, and kicked out of on Sunday.

I reassured everyone that I had no hard feelings about it, that these things happen, and then we essentially did a post-mortem on how exactly this happened, and how to improve the situation.

and I finally realised how much I miss stewarding a community. It was always one of my favourite aspects of my Open Source endeavours.

I guess Disney's going on the "No buy" list, huh?

@jackwilliambell Don’t confuse your personal preferences for something you’re enforcing for other people.
