Because, like CSS carousels, CSS won’t do it alone.

@patrick_townsend@infosec.exchangeMy Personal Privacy - Your resource for achieving better online privacy
Why privacy:
The right to privacy is a well-established, fundamental human right. It is necessary for a safe and just society. It is especially important in regions where intolerance and discrimination are backed by autocratic regimes. While you may not feel the need for privacy in all of your online activity, you should be able to achieve a high level of privacy when you need it. This website and the document…
@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca2/2 I continued blogging Alberniweather and on FB and Twitter but I gradually removed my personal self from Facebook and eventually during the Pandemic, I decided the Facebook environment was just too toxic even for weather stuff and I shut down my page and left Facebook completely.
The impact on traffic to Alberniweather.ca and its prominence in the community was, and still is, significant.
I have diehard followers, many who have become friends over the years, I still get the odd call from media, or even the public about random weather things.
I have good connections with a few folks at Environment Canada (though their staff have become thinner and more transient :(
and major events still get spikes of local traffic but I since about 2022, and after I removed myself from Twitter that year, I don’t blog nearly as much. I would do a few posts in a week, and then go months without posting. I just got out of the habit I guess.
But I am still interested in the weather. I still feel like Alberniweather is a useful service for people in my community. I still feel a willing obligation to inform people about the weather and I believe I am trusted to do so by the public and local leaders. I’ve never made any money at it, I sold ad space on the website for a few years but it wasn’t worth the hassle and I didn’t feel comfortable taking the money when I was councillor. I have had some generous spontaneous donations at times.
But mainly I do it because it’s interesting, and I hope it is useful for people especially when people are looking for information during a major event.
The highest traffic I have ever had on Alberniweather pre-FB exit was the local Dog Mountain forest fire in 2015.
post-FB exit: the #underwoodfire
People want easy access to reliable local, trusted, information.
Large media orgs have mostly given up on this.
I am grateful we still have an active local newspaper and radio and that both trust me and I trust them.

@cheryanne@aus.socialScam alert: ACCC phone numbers spoofed by scammers
The National Anti-Scam Centre (NASC) is warning Australians following reports that scammers have been impersonating phone numbers belonging to the ACCC in an attempt to steal personal information.
The ACCC and the NASC (which operates under the ACCC) have become aware of scammers using publicly available ACCC phone numbers, which are listed on the agency’s official website.

@Erikmitk@mastodon.gamedev.placeStill blows my mind that in Germany (and some other European countries) it’s mandatory to put an imprint with your actual address on your personal website. So basically doxing by default, unless you pay a provider to hide behind a proxy address to forward legal letters.*
* There are exemption for private, non-commercial sites but that boils down to .htaccess protection. Anything else is not considered private or non-commercial in legal practice.

@otakubinary@sakurajima.moeI have seen toots warning about this and wanted to comment on it.
They are impersonating the Mastodon team to require users to ‘verify their account’ and saying that until they do this their account is suspended.
Verification on mastodon is free and you can do it yourself without giving any personal information and it is TOTALLY OPTIONAL.
No server/instance is going to require verification.
I have my verification with my neocities page, on tkz.one, misskey.social and …
@carstingaxion@dewp.spaceI thought people behind #wordpress are trying to do better than the 🍍🍕🤡.
But it’s happening again, a comment of mine is deleted for no reasons and without any communication. It’s annoying!
@knurd42@social.linux.pizza'"Time handling is everywhere in software, but many programmers talk about the topic with dread and fear. Some warn about how difficult the topic is to understand, listing bizarre timezone edge cases as evidence of complexity. Others repeat advice like "just use UTC bro" as if it were an unconditional rule - if your program needs precise timekeeping or has user-facing datetime interactions, this advice will almost certainly cause bugs or confusing behavior. Here's a co…
