@avalos@mstdn.social Why did they choose to do that, perhaps other sources of income were too low forcing them to make those decisions.

It seems free software, generally needs better funding streams.

Distros need to be putting alternatives in their repositories to make them easy to find / install, maintainers are also going to have to keep up with the updates etc.

If you think about it, we programmers are linguists: we speak computer and teach computers to speak human.

@sim @brian @thor @zleap

I think the two go hand-in-hand, since our problem here is that a lot of the content is regular updates, and some of the exceptional stuff gets lost in the flow when no one interacts with it enough to boost it.

As I said: the Fedi is run by hellthreads.

@amerika @brian @thor @zleap Yeah. Posting more quality content was something that I wanted to see on the fediverse more since the degeneracy is so common and I decided unconsciously that I should at least contribute in this way over time. Would be great to see more content like this and to interact with the people contributing in that way.

@sim @brian @amerika @thor

I agree, encouraging more people to enable their site using activity pub would be good to, as this allows federation. This is only really 1/2 that story as it really helps to interact with those who are commenting on posts.

Listed a 50-yr-old microfiche cabinet on local email list (Front Porch Forum) and guy who picked it up (on-time!) have me bottles of his homemade vinegar as a thank you.

@benjaminhollon

No problem, I make regular blog posts, oddly they only federate if manually posted. If I schedule them they don''t federate.

This is probably a bug, but actually suits me fine.

I appear to be subscribed to the cloudflare blog, I did not subscribe to this.

Trying to contact them, I eventually find a form,

Can someone please suggests they SACK the person who designed the colour scheme. It is very hard to read, and hardly adheres to accessibility standards.

Shows how sloppy they are.

I can't contact them as I refuse to give them personal information just to tell them to unsubscribe from the blog.

They send html e-mail anyway, which on my client is just a mass of html.

One day, website editors will understand that interrupting the user browsing with a stupid popup asking to subscribe to their stupid newsletter is stupid.
