Small things that annoy me, a lighthearted rant/

STOP IT WITH THE NOTIFICATIONS.

I do not want my day to be interrupted by a device chiming because you have a sale, your partners have a sale, your computers are feeling lonely because I haven't visited them today and would like some attention (looking at you, #Facebook), you have some new feature I will never use because it's annoying.

Every time I get a new phone, I spend a couple days disabling bunches of notifications. LEAVE ME ALONE!

💡 Today is a perfect day to exercise your independence from #BigTech, and #GiveUpGitHub.

☣️ #GitHub is the equivalent of #Twitter and #Facebook for software development -- creators of the most enticing proprietary walled garden ever made for #FOSS developers.

Don't be stuck when Microsoft decides to change the rules on you.

Start today.

"The 8-3 vote in Brazil’s top court orders tech giants like Google, Meta and TikTok to actively monitor content that involves hate speech, racism and incitation to violence and act to remove it."

After Bolsonaro's arrest for his attempted coup Brazil is showing us, again, how things should be done.
