Writing about my experiences with delayed ejaculation, finding comfort in audio erotica over in person sex with gay men, and a whole host of other personal things. Thing is, scenes will be fully NSFW. I’m using @11ty but want to know what kind of age verification I need, if any, and if I don’t need age verification on my website, what’s the most accessible way for a static site generator to alert the reader that they’re about to read NSFW literature? I was thinking a modal that pops up, blocking them, until they click OK. Any thoughts? #WebDev #Internet

Good comeback. Checks many boxes of how to respond to comments of this kind:

- call out their bullshit
- respond with kindness
- craft your message not with the edgelord in mind, but write it for the rest of the community (the edgelord will hate it anyway, so no need to pander to them)

Some commenter on Arnold Schwarzenegger's Facebook page: The Special Olympics make no sense. The Olympics are for the best athletes in the world to compete against each other to determine who is the best. Having retards competing is doing the opposite!

Arnold Schwarzenegger: As stupid and evil as this comment is, I'm not going to delete it or ban you (yet) because it's a teachable moment. You have two possible paths ahead. Right now, | guarantee you that these athletes have more courage, compassion, brains, skill — actually more of every positive human quality than you. So take their path — you could learn from them, and try to challenge yourself, to give back, to add something from the world. Or you can stay on your path, and keep being a sad, pitiful, jealous internet troll who adds nothing to the world but mocks anyone who does out of small-minded jealousy. | know what you really want is attention, so let me be clear. If you choose to keep going this way, no one will ever remember you.

An explosive memoir charting one woman’s career at the heart of one of the most influential companies on the planet, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to Facebook, the decisions that have shaped world events in recent decades, and the people who made them.

From trips on private jets and encounters with world leaders to shocking accounts of misogyny and double standards behind the scenes, this searing memoir exposes both the personal and the political fallout when unfettered power and a rotten company culture take hold. In a gripping and often absurd narrative where a few people carelessly hold the world in their hands, this eye-opening memoir reveals what really goes on among the global elite.

Sarah Wynn-Williams tells the wrenching but fun story of Facebook, mapping its rise from stumbling encounters with juntas to Mark Zuckerberg’s reaction when he learned of Facebook’s role in Trump’s election. She experiences the challenges and humiliations of working motherhood within a pressure cooker of a workplace, all while Sheryl Sandberg urges her and others to lean in.

Careless People is a deeply personal account of why and how things have gone so horribly wrong in the past decade—told in a sharp, candid, and utterly disarming voice. A deep, unflinching look at the role that social media has assumed in our lives, Careless People reveals the truth about the leaders of Facebook: how the more power they grasp, the less responsible they become and the conse

Sono passati 20 anni e questa vignetta è ancora incredibilmente attuale: Internet continua a essere sotto tentativo di controllo.

📰 Pubblicata sul gruppo internet: @internet

#internet #sicurezza

L'immagine è una caricatura in bianco e nero che rappresenta una scena satirica. A sinistra, un personaggio vestito come Uncle Sam, con un cappello a stelle e strisce, simboleggia il governo degli Stati Uniti. È seduto dietro un bancone con un cartello che dice "CONTROL OF INTERNET SPEECH" (Controllo della parola d'ordine sul web). Uncle Sam chiede al personaggio di fronte, etichettato come "CORPORATE MEDIA" (Media corporativi), "How would you like this wrapped?" (Come vorresti che fosse avvolto?).

Il personaggio di fronte, che rappresenta i media corporativi, sembra preoccupato. Sullo sfondo, ci sono due rotoli di carta da regalo con etichette: "ANTI-TERRORISM" (Anti-terrorismo) e "PROTECT KIDS" (Proteggi i bambini), suggerendo che queste sono le opzioni disponibili per avvolgere il controllo della parola d'ordine sul web.

Sul bancone, ci sono strumenti come forbici e nastro, che simboleggiano l'atto di avvolgere o controllare. La caricatura critica la posizione dei media corporativi riguardo al controllo della parola d'ordine sul web, suggerendo che essi stanno scegliendo tra diverse opzioni, come l'anti-terrorismo e la protezione dei bambini, per avvolgere il controllo della parola d'ordine sul web.

I think large social networks should verify users. It's like getting a driver's licence. If you don't want to verify your identity, you can, but you won't see content from unverified individuals and your content won't be visible to others.

The only problem is implementation. We need a system that chooses what data to transfer (name and age) and how.

Everything we write on open social networks should be something we can say on the street.

The world’s largest #InternetArchive is under siege — & fighting back

There are few organizations dedicated to the gargantuan task of preserving the vast, ever-shifting record of human activity that is the #internet. The largest such record belongs to a #nonprofit based in an old church in San Francisco that operates on a smaller annual budget than the DC Public Library.
 It is currently under siege.

Foi só acionar esse "Tema padrão do SeaMonkey", conjunto de programas que não tinha certeza se ainda existia, para transportar-me de volta a ~1998, quando utilizávamos o original Mozilla então recém nascido da Netscape.

Captura de tela que exibe uma janela do navegador SeaMonkey, versão 2.53.20, em um ambiente GNU/Linux. A janela está aberta na página "About" (Sobre) do SeaMonkey, que fornece informações sobre a versão e as configurações do navegador. O foco principal da imagem é o menu suspenso de "Exibir" > "Aplicar tema", que está aberto, mostrando várias opções de temas: "Obter mais temas", "Obter planos de fundo", "SeaMonkey Default Theme" (Tema Padrão do SeaMonkey) e "SeaMonkey Moderno", que está selecionado. Aparece uma dica próxima a "SeaMonkey Moderno" que diz: "Um tema contemporâneo para todos os componentes."

Kurz erklärt:

Der Thymos bezeichnet seit der griechischen Antike das Streben nach Status.

Die Timokratie bezeichnet in der Staatstheorie die Herrschaft durch Geld.

Die Thymokratie bezeichnet dagegen die Herrschaft durch das Internet.

Sie löst gerade an immer mehr Orten die Demokratie ab.

E-COM: the $40 million USPS project to send email on paper

How do you get email to the folks without computers? What if the Post Office printed out email, stamped it, dropped it in folks’ mailboxes along with the rest of their mail, and saved the USPS once and for all?

And so in 1982 E-COM was born—and, inadvertently, helped coin the term “e-mail.”

Linux communities beware of #PewDiePie fans

Regardless of PewDiePie’s personal #politics (which clearly, at the very least are problematic), it is fairly well known by anyone who has been following him for any number of years that the vast majority of his fan base are enthusiastic fascists.

Now #PewDiePie , who’s content centers around PC gaming and Windows, has decided to switch to #Linux and published a video encouraging his followers to do the same. This means a very large number of his #fascist fan base is going to be switching to Linux.

Now many Linux communities are going to be forced to more explicitly choose their politics. Like the parable of the Nazi bar, if the community remains politically neutral, it will become fascist in short order.

A few things to be wary of:

People asking you not to be “too political” or to “focus on the technology, not the politics” is a classic and highly effective fascist ruse to get moderators to lighten up on fascist elements posting in their community.
People complaining about free speech rights. The #Internet and the #Fediverse is already a domain where people can speak freely about their politics by running their own server and building their own community with few to no government constraints. You don’t need to compromise on whether fascists have the right to free speech in your community.
Arguments over your code of conduct (CC) and “safe spaces.” Keep them up-to-date. Research other people’s CCs, learn about the history of why these CCs came to be, learn about what the function of each clause of the code is included and phrased the way it is. These were usually designed to make explicit the fact that a community wants to be a safe space where underprivileged people can feel comfortable expressing themselves, and it is very easy to make people afraid to express themselves. Fascists understand these CCs and the concept of “safe spaces” were explicitly designed to exclude them, and often attack these ideas.

#TakeItDown Act has passed the #House 409-2 giving #Trump & the #FTC power to #censor the #internet.

The bill seems good at first glance. It requires online platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate imagery aka“revenge porn.”

However, it will also enable the FTC to demand #content be removed from websites.

🚨In fact, Trump said he will use the bill ON HIS OWN BEHALF, presumably to remove criticism of him from the web.

Dear philosophy journals, it is sort of appalling how many of you still do not offer an RSS feed to track new articles. This is, in internet terms, an ancient technology that can be implemented cheaply. Consider making life a bit easier for scholars in times of an increasing flood of publications.
