hey fedi friends — i’m working on an alternative to traditional search engines that cuts out SEO garbage by only indexing user-submitted pages. this isn’t a promotion but rather a request for help: if you have a spare moment, check it out and tell me what you think, either about the concept or the implementation. small stuff like bug reports all the way up to criticism of the overall goal or feature suggestions. it’s available at https://github.com/owdex/owdex or https://owdex.com :)

Don't let april fools jokes affect accessibility. · Issue #401 · SpacingBat3/WebCord

the problem: Look, you got me for a second mkay? Thought I'd have to delete ~/.config/webcord/windowstate for the 40th time until I actually read the fake error. But not everyone is gonna recognize...

@pisscotheque here’s a truth to implant in your brain instead: you are a good person, you have value and you deserve the love of yourself and others

Had a phone interview for a job today. It's a help desk manager type thing. Remote.

I asked, "do you use keystroke loggers, screen cappers, and other surveillance technology?"

Confused muttering. Finally from someone on the call, "yes."

Me. "are these always on? I see you don't provide PCs. Are you expecting me to put these things on my own PC? Can they be turned off when I am not on duty?"

Them: always on

Me: "wow"

Them: no one else has asked this question.

Me: YIKES
