No, the scandal they got caught up in was basically if you typed “Coinbase” into the search bar it would suggest the autocomplete response for their affiliate link to Coinbase, it wasn’t limited to just coinbase however, and it wasn’t a forced redirect, just didn’t pass the sniff test, and while that doesn’t mean it’s bad or malicious, that also doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good.

It just happens to be the best solo solution on the application layer that works well with other complimentary services on other layers to fit my good enough criteria for now based on the hardware I currently have available to me.

When I get a different phone (read as migrated off of Apple [current] and Google [past] phone OS’s) I will reevaluate my mobile opsec and most likely chose from the other solutions available on the platform of my choice.

This is why I don’t fuck guys who “don’t pay attention to politics”.

That means one thing, and it isn’t that they are blissfully unaware of the day to day happenings in their town, county, state, region, country, or planet of residence.

I’m certain that Jagex wasn’t necessarily doing that out of the kindness of their hearts. RuneScape community sites have had a history of advertisements that border on malware at worst, are paid phishing attempts at best, and benevolently full of grey market account services and real world trading platforms.

Best case scenario was them hosting the platform to protect the integrity of their game, and the community.

Not to distract from the good move that it was, of course.

Backfired on them, the whole OSRS community was intentionally searching for things in google and using the “official” wiki results to bury fandom, then the game devs themselves added a wiki button into the game.

I don’t care what their rationale was, it’s to claim you own intellectual property that other people wrote for you. If I write a story, and post an excerpt to someone else’s website that doesn’t immediately confer copyright or IP ownership of that to the website owner.

Even more so when the information that is your IP is copied word for word from another companies IP and iterated on by a third party to qualify for fair use.

Brave browser is the best solution I’ve found for my mobile workflow. Doesn’t help when the app opens the website link using the native in app browser, though.

Here’s what my actual mobile web browser displays

Thank you for the suggestion, thankfully the imgur hosting was built into memmy so I had no hoops to jump through, basically just click the image button and pick the image.

I’ll certainly implement that when I have more granular control of the process though.

It goes into even more detail than that.

OSRS wiki should be a case study on good documentation policies.

I originally tried posting a picture, but I think my instance dropped support for right now because of the recent attacks.

Edit: I got the picture posted for those who don’t want phone cancer.

Tell me the irony isn’t lost on anyone else that this website article about users being frustrated by min maxing profits and inorganic design language is designed exactly like the kind of site that they are talking about.

I was just trying to remember when the old school RuneScape community got off fandom.

Fandom wouldn’t let them nuke the wiki because they claimed to own the IP that was the crowdsourced information that filled it.

Fuck fandom, i refuse to use them.

Those Ch(ristians) i(n) n(ame) o(nly)’s are the only reason i consider myself not a Christian.

If god wants to punish me for eternity for not messing with his awful fan club of misery and disdain that throws out any good and only focuses on the evil, then it’s not a god that was worth worshiping in the first place.

Christians will tell you that the Bible is gods word, and that is law when it can be used against you or to virtue signal (Like Chick-fil-A closed on Sundays) but they won’t actually follow the commands to leave the outside of their field unharvested for the foreigner, the widow, and the orphan, then when those folks die off from their malice they have the nerve to describe the consequences of their indifference as god’s will.

Modern evangelicalism is the great whore of Babylon from the book of revelations.

1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition. 12 And the ten horns which thou saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 15 And he said unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.

Twitter… has always been dog ass.

I felt the same. When someone first told me about Twitter there wasn’t a web interface, you had to text message from your old school feature phone and waste multiple texts at like $0.10 a piece to send roughly 100 letters. I never really saw the point. By the time Twitter was “worth while” I still didn’t get the appeal. I made an account for a project I was working on, but I hated it, so I stopped and never signed in again. That account has been idle for so long that literal elementary kids after I last signed in came of age and are drinking in bars now.

Why should a crypto community be against decentralized social media?

You’d probably be better off building one of those DIY birds artificially, it takes too long to make natural birds from seed.
