Just donated to @kiwix!

They do great work of making the download of various dictionaries and knowledgebases offline extremely easy!

This is essential for people in regions with bad internet, like a refugee camp.

I couldn't find any legal advice, which would be pretty important, apart from a general #StackExchange backup.

Spread the knowledge!

"We Care about your Privacy"

No you don't, you fucking assholes!

• If you did care about #privacy, you'd not want to force 247 trackers down my throat, you lying pieces if shit!
  • If you cared about my privacy, you'd not even try to force a single #tracker on me and awould only use a #LoginCookie at most!

This shite really makes my blood boil because it's insulting the intellect of every person!

Fuck me, the Stack Overflow beta is *horrible*.

Question pages look like a bastard mix between Reddit and ChatGPT.

The answer text area is auto-focussed and hijacking browser shortcuts.

There is no visible separation between question and answers.

A fucking Tragedy

Undeniably, Undebatably.

Environmentally? Tragedy.
Cost? Tragedy.
Just everything here is a Tragedy.

If you are able to run on your own hardware, fucking do it, there's no excuse to go cloud, especially if you already have the infra, even if you need to physically move it.

For fuck sakes.

Throwing away On-Prem or at least Self-Hosted is throwing away the Sovereignty of your Business, of your Data. You've just given all of your customer and business Data to Google. Good Job.
