And this is why every time a developer asks me for shell access to any of the deployment servers, I flat out deny the request.

Good on you for learning from your mistakes, but a perfect example for why I only let sysadmins into the systems.

Just turn watch history off and find your own way. My YT homepage is blank. Fuck suggestion algorithms.

Am I the only one who hates this? I mean, it’s fine as an option, but just let me swipe my debit card or pre-pay in cash for a certain number of KW/h.

I totally get where they’re coming from with that shutdown announcement. I’ve had to “talk myself off a ledge” a few times to not go the same route and shut mine down. Ended up making some server policy changes that helped, but there’s eventually going to be something else later.

If we keep treating the Fediverse as just a scrappy, amateur effort, it will never reach its full potential and it will be forever just a niche thing.

What suggestions do you have to change the way we’re treating/running it currently?
