I'm sure it totally makes sense to not let the smartest people into the country anymore.

I hope this is what the American people wanted when they cast their vote in favor of Donald Trump. Twice.

BSD folks: Is there a native #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, or #NetBSD tool for managing system-wide trust-anchors? Debian has something like

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates

which gives an interactive TUI allowing me to specify which CAs I do/don't trust, and they get picked up system-wide.

Ideally this would persist past most package/system upgrades too so I don't have to (re)do it every time ca-certificates gets updated from repos.

@RecoveredExpert generally speaking, it's more sluggish. If there's some javascript, it's slow to load.
Mastodon itself is terrible on Safari. Extremely slow and sluggish. And if a page has some heavy javascript, it becomes slow and will eventually reload it.

Maybe it's a problem related to my Mac. But I currently haven't other recent Macs to try (except my wife's M4 Air. I could probably try there, too.)

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

@ketanjoshi.co "makes you more attractive to employees" might be a translation issue but surely does sound like an HR violation ;)

@joyousjoyness@mastodon.social My cat would've tried to eat that string.

@ben me: it would be cool if people talked about the tower of druaga more
them:
me: oh.

I’d get you a really nice can of beans.

shout out to the lemmy developers for not making us be stuck on the other site

shout out to mastodon devs for making us have a better life than on Twitter

shout out to the pixelfed devs for allowing a actual photography platform to exist

shout out to the peertube devs for helping us not be stuck on youtube until the end of time

ETA: Shout out to the server operators who make the stuff be done

Lots of us have been critical of Gates since back when it was edgy to spell MS with a dollar sign. The problem is he changes as a person. He's moved on from doing the things I hated him for to doing other things I hate him for at least three times since I learned of his existence. It's difficult to keep track of whatever the reason to consider him a vile excuse for a human being is this week.

I have signed https://human-emacs.org/ and you should too, if you value #emacs existing

Bill Gates is a monster.

it’s about fucking time a lot of y’all in #tech say it loudly and with the chest. he has prove right those of us who’ve been saying it since the 1990s.

all that bullshit about vaccines? he uses his foundation to push the stock up of his pharma companies. one of the points of program was so he could develop a new generation of wage slaves; to work as curators of the vile & violent content techbros use for their aislop grift.

Bill Gates is a monster.

I stopped secret santa after 2 years in a row of not getting a gift. People would sign up to get free stuff essentially and never send out anything. Kinda ruined it for me to be reminded that people are generally shitty

@brooke disagree. crepes are also lunch, dinner, midafternoon snack, and dessert. however I will concede that this is a setting where one bad apple spoils the brunch

dang, I need crepes now
