Testing #Amidon on my real A4000/060. It's a bit slow, since it's written on Hollywood (which is not known for performance), but it still works. And running on MUI 5 to test how heavy that will be.

#Twitter was never really a hellsite for me, because:

- I'm white & male.
- I used an app (Tweetbot) that hid the ads & "For you" recommendations.
- I'm a non-entity, so aggressive randos never felt the need to engage with me.

Facebook is also OK for me; I mostly follow IRL friends & hide my posts from anyone else.

Sartre was right: Hell IS other people.

Specifically, Hell is algorithmically-curated other people chosen for their awfulness.

Engagement-maximizing #algorithms are the worst.

Ex-Amazon employees on the almost impressively cynical way Amazon smile started:

“…or… I dunno. PHP and Web Components?”

Welp, looks like the Tories in London have given up on any pretence at wanting to keep Scotland in the union:

.... Either that or they're planning to introduce Direct Rule after they dissolve the Scottish Parliament. Which is their only hope of suppressing the shit-storm this is going to provoke north of the border.

(All in the name of waging a spurious culture war against LGBT+ folks.)
