Heh, indeed. Not to be confused with this old school SS to Ghost migration tool. 👻

There are several, but the most direct alternative is Ghost (see SS to Ghost migration guide here).

I used to subscribe to several SS newsletters that switched to Ghost, which is how I found out about it. But I wouldn’t have even noticed if they hadn’t told me.

Highly prone to lock-in, enshittification, and they promote Nazis.

Just another centralized platform that can’t help but want to become universal.

Yes, I wonder what journalists (“professional” and otherwise) are supposed to do. Everyone going their own way and splintering off into many little voices doesn’t feel like the right answer, but publishers are beholden to investors and can be bought out by billionaires. I suppose there are publishers/agencies that have maintained their integrity like 404 Media, or Al Jazeera.

Maybe this is just the burden of anyone in a democracy: to constantly weigh the quality of the sources of information you’re using to form opinions which spawn action.

Apologies, I wasn’t criticizing the article, or you for sharing it. It’s a tricky sentence, especially if English isn’t your first language - the “but” changes the subject. Article is definitely privacy related.

What isn’t privacy related is my opinion about subtack. I don’t mean to derail, so will let anyone reading this look up why ss sucks and make their own decision.

Using this to try to get more people off of discord.

Also not privacy related, but fuck substack

Thank you jerk face!!

Thanks for sharing, this is a better write-up than I would’ve done.

But yeah it really sucks because from the outside Bandcamp looks like a great “light touch” platform, but the truth is sadly much more cynical and anti-democratic.

I buy on Bandcamp Fridays, but am suspicious of that platform since they changed owners so often without any input from the community or musicians.

I’m keeping my eye on https://subvert.fm/ as a hopefully more democratic option.

For the insides I just put them in the toaster oven on low to finish

Farewell from fediverse!

It’s a miracle 😭

“trauma induced return to Ubuntu” 😭 it was my wifi not working that did it, and I’m just so used to Ubuntu from years of using it at work…

Your username rules

Man, wish I’d thought of that. The last place I applied I went through two leetcode and two system design interviews, as well as the usual battery of recruiter, manager, and director meetings.

Oh that’s very interesting. I usually do sort --unique or sort [...] | uniq if I need specific sorting logic (like by size on disk, etc).

Or 60 minutes making it all work just with jq functions.

Hey I throw a /^regexp.*/ {print $NF} in there sometimes!

…but yes, it’s mostly print $1—but only because I mix up the parameters whenever I try to use cut!

A friend who knows you intimately is invaluable.

Although hearing you talk makes me happy that I bounced off of fetlife when I did lol.
