If I asked a PhD, "How many Bs are there in the word 'blueberry'?" They'd call an ambulance for my obvious, severe concussion. They wouldn't answer, "There are three Bs in the word blueberry! I know, it's super tricky!"

... A ... blog? Are you asking if it's possible to selfhost a blog?

Nah, we're plumbers in an age where everyone has decided to DIY their septic system.

Please, by all means, keep it up.

Oh don't worry you'll get to experience one firsthand in [ checks watch ] about 20 minutes.

Shout out to my fellow "None Backup Strategies" chaos goblins.

Here's the mod's website.

Krita looks nice.

If we remove just 1 county from each state, Trump would have won.

Yeah, the more people you disenfranchise, the easier it is for fascists to gain power. That being said, this is sort of like saying, "The USA would be Republican if it weren't for New York and California!"

Preface: I appreciate the sentiment, fuck Microsoft.

1. Projects typically aren't "hosted" on code repositories like GitHub.
2. Because the underlying version control technology, git, is meant to be distributed - it's super weird to draw that line in the sand. It's like saying "show me TXT files written with SublimeText, I hate Notepad++!"
3. I get that you might want to, like, judge a developer for using github? But, like... features are features. Build minutes are build minutes. If you fork a repo and use GitLab to manage it, does that make the project better?

totally ignoring matters such as their usage stats

The author asked multiple devs about these things - they all had the same reply: Can't talk about it because NDA.

more importantly the content itself that is now flat-out missing from Reddit. Go to any old thread and you’ll see the “this content has been removed by” (whichever of the automated software to remove posts was used in that case) messages.

That's not the stated objective of the article, which was "Exploring Reddit’s third-party app environment."

Honestly it reads like a shill to promote Reddit as in “hey, all that fuss was for nothing - you should totally come back now”.

No, it doesn't. You don't call it an "APIcalypse" if you're shilling for Reddit. You don't pull out the most critical quote right at the top if you want to shill for Reddit. ("I don’t believe Reddit’s leadership... cares about developers anymore.") You don't mention Lemmy, or Threads, or Tildes if you're shilling for Reddit.

You admit that you're biased; good, thank you. This article isn't.

Basically any 2-letter TLD should be avoided unless you live in that country.

If you want to be clever, use subdomains and pick one of the new TLDs. For instance, ban.anal.ink, is like $5.
