CIRCLE WITH A DOT

I am not a web designer. I was, at one point, a pretty good web admin. I know mostly server back end stuff from before things like NodeJS took off. I know some PHP and CSS and I am very comfortable with a WHM Cpanel server.

I say all of this to say, when I make websites I use templates. (Usually free, some paid) and I have recently started going to all of the sites I own and manage and working to ensure they don't have google fonts. This is just another way google is tracking who is doing what when they have no business doing so.

so I implore you web people of the world, DITCH THE GOOGLE FONTS!

#degoogle #privacy #fonts #webdesign

It would be really fun to see a bunch of distros just say no to California. I do hate that these Devs feel like this should be a component of systemd of all things

@simonzerafa @nazokiyoubinbou @sarahjamielewis rush to comply or what...put a disclaimer on Linux that says not valid in California.

If someone installs software not made for CA in CA whose fault is that.

Do they have to actively stop download or installs based on some geo restriction.

@aral scrolled to far yo find Flock "Safety"

@pwob I have been a customer and strong advocate for mailbox.org for years!

@majorlinux I have 3 but am not nearly invested enough..I need to get my router up and see what can be seen

@lina yes, they are a black box. If used as a way to help educate yourself there is value. When used as means to an end, you kill the pipeline of problem solving. Unfortunately the unwavering force of capitalism is almost always short sighted

@lina I do feel like this is about how you use the LLM. I often find my self throwing something into my local llama to give me an ELI5 or what do these flags on this command do in combination.

But as someone who has Designed CTFs and watched someone fling through it without learning a damn thing, it can be hard to keep the faith.

When I took physics all those years ago my professor made us learn a slide rule before a calculator. If you skip over the basics and use a machine to do it..when the machine breaks or is wrong, who is gonna fix it and how?

@Em0nM4stodon Before I had something to force my schedule (children) I would be awake for 20 hours and sleep for 10. It really was my natural rhythm, I just never got NASA on board with my project to slow the spinning of the earth.
