Very very interesting, and stupid

If this gets any worse we're going to have to learn that space aliens are UHC customers.

I made a twitter account last week for a business and it will not show me anything except Elon and Trump stuff even though I keep clicking see less/mute/block etc. It's truly insane over there now, even besides just the way it works.

I used my phone carrier email, but I haven't actually used pixelfed since verifying. Not sure if there's anything there for me.

I like the tidy forum format and experience that Reddit/lemmy brings. My brain has never been able to make sense of how to benefit from twitter, mastodon, Instagram, tiktok, etc.

That was the joke

Run a wireguard server at home. Use tor to connect to it from home. Problem solved.

You have to go out of your way to have your access reduced. There are endless ways to achieve that and tor is just one of them. Besides the sigint opportunities on tor aren't as minimal as you want them to be. Also, you're connecting to the site and acting in behalf of yourself. I'm at a loss why this should rank at all in the context of a tidal wave of measurable abuses.

My boss calls that the "shit house polio", but usually in reference to just going numb from sitting in any chair.

I was able to confirm that sdf's pixelfed will send and confirm emails, by using a different email provider other than Gmail.

My Gmail account will absolutely not show me any emails from sdf pixelfed, so I just changed my pixelfed email to my phone number @ my carriers email/sms bridge domain, and that let me confirm my account.

In Gmail? I looked all over my spam, couldn't find it anywhere :/

How many years?

The amount of utility I accidentally extract from my phone over the course of a day on one charge is pretty incredible.
