I'm thinking of blocking access to content on my site to anyone not running an ad blocker.

Thoughts?

Alright influenza, give us a few weeks to get this on board... then you a dead bug.

Yokohama has always been a Pokemon hotspot. They're IRL Vermillion City, and have the first Pokemon Center, but their presence is escalating at the moment.

Regular reminder: if your site or app doesn’t work in Firefox, it’s broken.

I lived through the “this site requires and/or is best in IE” era, and I’d rather burn it all down than return to that.

Pro-tip: Firefox does most things better anyway. Give it a spin and enjoy a less-tracked web.

If you made JAWS today, you wouldn't even have to kill the shark, just have everyone get tired of avoiding the water after a year or two and start insisting that it's actually fine to have a shark hunt the beaches every summer because it's only killing those too weak or old to swim away.

I'm missing my old network on the birdsite for this kind of query. Any #archaeology and/or #digitalarchives folks out there with recommendations on curating Ground Penetrating Radar datasets (DZT, DZX)? Challenges: they are v big & proprietary, we don't even have the software to read them in native format. I'm not even sure whether we should accept or recommend curation elsewhere.

On day 416 in Japan, I finally learned how to spell "怪獣" (kaijū). An arbitrary but fun milestone on the literacy journey.

I see NPR & PBS are leaving Twitter after being mislabeled as state-affiliated (or funded) media. I personally would love to see their counterpart in my area, NHK_News, follow suit.

So far, NHK has not received similar mislabeling as far as I can see, but who knows whether that might change if they ruffle the wrong feathers in this region?

I need your help…

NPR is leaving Twitter but they are planning to focus on Instagram

We need to tell them to join the Fediverse

Many of their journalists’ accounts, as well as their main account, haven’t been active on mastodon. Tell them how much we need them here. (In fact, they should have their own instance)

Use the link, tell NPR we are waiting for them here and spread the word far and wide:

help.npr.org/contact/s/

👋 Hello #fediverse! I'm going into a meeting at 4ET to talk about our newsroom's social media options.

If you think our station and other NPR stations should have a Mastodon server and a broader presence in the #fediverse, pls boost this post. If you have thoughts, please reply, I want to hear them!

Lunar New Year celebration in 横浜市の中華街。This parade is dragon but I don't mind.

Pop!_OS now has zram enabled! zram actively compresses memory in the background, increasing the amount of free memory your system has available. This results in increased FPS in games, or faster simulations and compiler runs.:sunglasses:

How do you stop #Canadian bacon from #curling ?

You take away their tiny brooms.

Oh dear. I've just been informed that collecting the names of every person on the planet for my naughty and nice lists is, and I quote, “a significant and wholly irresponsible breach of #GDPR “.
I'm going to hand out about 8 billion consent forms soon. If you could all get them back to me ASAP that would be appreciated.

とった!
Always cool to get a new library card, but this is the most excited I've been about acquiring one since I was at a similar reading level in English!

Have been informed I am a close contact. Whelp, no dining out or public transit for me for the next couple weeks.
