@jstark You won’t believe this: I’m heading home from my honeymoon and sitting in the Vienna airport lounge, and who do I run into but Diane Bergeron from the CNIB. What are the odds right? She thought you’d get a kick out of that chance encounter. Hope you and the family are doing well.

@caseyliss Hey Casey, I seem to recall you talking about geotagging photos from your big camera post import in the past. Is this the tool you use? https://www.snafu.org/GeoTag/. If not, what’s your tool of choice?

Goodbye Reddit

Today I used the Bulk Delete Reddit Posts & Comments History Chrome extension (and happily paid the $8 for full version and support the developer) to delete every single post and comment on my 17-year-old Reddit account before submitting the account for deletion. I went through the trouble to delete everything

Ha ha Ted Kacynski what a weird modernity-hating freak. Anyway, back to this tech billionaire who killing children with his robot-car alpha tests and turning a virtual town square into a incel klan rally

The big mistake that the CEOs of both Reddit & Twitter have made is failing to realize that their sites are supported by lots of unpaid labor (creators, moderators, etc) and it’s not enough to focus on experience of users who’re mainly readers of these sites.

The 1-9-90 ratio is real.

Reddit’s users and moderators are revolting against its CEO

Canadians celebrate summer with nationwide campfire

OTTAWA – In a stirring example of national togetherness, Canadians from all walks of life are planning to come together in the summer of 2023 to enjoy a massive nationwide campfire ranging from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific, and anywhere else unseasonable heat and dry conditions create the opportunity for unchecked forest fires.
