Swampogre Hi. I mentioned this earlier today, first day I've run v. 2.53.17beta1. Facebook page doesn't display and I get this error msg: Your Request Couldn't be Processed

Luckily two of the Social Control Media sites with a lot of nasty code are busy blowing themselves up.

Facebook and Twitter. Thanks to Elon now you can't casually browse it while you aren't logged in, so it's even more worthless to the remaining advertisers, who can demand lower rates.

yeah i noticed that days ago, i am blocked from someone but i cant use private Browsing to see his tweets

not that its a Big Deal beinbg blocked from him as he barely replies to any tweets

but i hear a lot of people are having issues with " Spaces "

those idiots that Pay for twitter

twitter has reportedly pulled a cloudflare upon themselves, as in, the twitter web interface reportedly is/was DDoSing twitter.

relevant: zedeus/nitter #919

Happy the Fourth of July frg grannygoose tomman and everyone else even tho most of you aren't american

MattATobin: close: tomorrow is Independence Day here in Venezuela

(although these days it's largely symbolic due to... current affairs)

MattATobin Happy 4th of July

SeaMonkey also affected, forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=29973

speaking of the 4th... i am generally "out of the news" & if the world ended, i really wouldn't know it...

so this morning, on the way to work, ALL these cars are lined up, one after another, & as i go further, i see they're lined up waiting to get into the gas station. & with that, i think - what's up with that? maybe we're at war, or some such? but then i saw the gas price at the station, $1.77 USD (vs $3.20 something or the other that it would normally be).

our cars line here for gas, but that's because we have no gas :/

LOL. So i changed by computer date, bluefive.pairsite.com/beyondo.htm. i do that regularly when i need to "back date" something. like i was doing some "back" payroll work. & in the process of doing that, i went & did an online payment (transfer) of $$ to someone's account. forgot to change my computer date (back). BankOfAmerica didn't complain about that. & the online...

..."receipt" shows, "06/30/2023, confirmation number: qzh5jv1z0". heh. it shows my back dated date, from my computer, rather then today's date.

every fucking time.. libera.chat/news/matrix-irc-bridge-updates
