@pixplz Admin here; anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment has no place on Fosstodon. This moderator (prior to becoming a moderator) had personal account filters on their account to curate their timeline to focus on technology, as is their right to do as a user.

Choosing to opt-out of LGBTQ+ discussions does not make one anti-LGBTQ+.

A larger team conversation was had around content filters for staff, and we collectively decided that staff should remove existing filters.

Plasmashell continues to eat memory. Was away from home all day yesterday and came back to a locked system as a result. So far, restarting it seems to fix the problem, but only temporarily.

Maybe I should just try a different DE instead of working to fix Plasma.

The Fediverse has a very bad habit of projecting the bad behavior of a single user to all users on their instance. It's really dumb and needs to stop.

@MattTheQuick omg i'm jelly

Feels good being on social media platforms that authoritarians and grifters hate.

@MattTheQuick we miss you <3

@MattTheQuick I take breaks every once in a while, but always end up coming back. I think I've gotten better about not letting it make me miserable lmao.

@MattTheQuick good choice. I'm terminally online and hopeless, so I'll just lean into it lol.

You can find my hot takes and politics posting over on Bluesky. You can also follow that bridged account on the fediverse, here: @btp.dev

Is it just me, or does putting your 2fa codes in your password manager with your passwords a bad idea?

Imagine being some poor Ukrainian in a ditch tomorrow watching the election happen on their phone and thinking "Welp, I guess my country's existence now depends on 10,000 people somewhere in Pennsylvania."

@MrLovenstein this has literally happened to me irl.

Bro seriously, *fuck* smart TVs.

@BeAware This is what my employer uses, I have no choice in the matter. I use BitWarden personally.

LastPass is dumb and I hate it.

Why are there literally zero options for PDF editors that aren't proprietary garbage that coasts $150 for no reason?
