The amount of misogynistic comments on my latest video is just off the charts.
You can doubt the new CEO for her skills, her vision, experience, or the companies she worked at. But saying « another woman CEO, Mozilla is dead » is just… wow.
It’s 2024, people. Seriously. WTF.
I don’t understand why people who send me emails to promote their software or products expect me to answer them, even just to tell them I’m not interested.
They sent me something, without any invitation. They want to sell me something, or get me to promote their product. Why would they feel I have an obligation to let them know I don’t want to? Just accept that no answer after a few weeks means « no », and stop wasting time and energy on emails.
With the recent moves from #Twitter, #Reddit, and even #Youtube, I think it’s becoming clear that ads are not a sustainable business model in the long run (and yes, I know I run a YouTube channel funded by ads 😅)
I took a look at a few examples, at how this decline is also making the web worse for everyone, at alternative platforms, and tried to imagine what an internet without ads to fund content creation and big platforms could look like:
The double-whammy of #Twitter refusing to share tweet content with non-logged-in users and #Reddit’s killing of third-party apps tonight should lead to a large influx of new #Fediverse participants. Looking forward to seeing the community here grow.

Every time I talk about @Mastodon in one of my videos, I get comments telling me they couldn't figure out how to ue it, or that it's too complicated.
So, I mae a complete guide to #Mastodon: how to create an account, how to find people to follow, how to use it, and the general etiquette here!
(Of course, you all already know all of that, but now you have a reference guide you can share with people who struggle to join us here!)
Over 100 billion people have lived on our planet.
Just 622 have been to space.
Just 12 have set foot on another celestial object, our barren moon.
Not a single human has been to another planet.
We know of no other planet that can sustain human life.
Why is it so damn hard to get people to care about protecting the only home we've ever had and the only place we can live?
