The old internet is still there. It's just dwarfed by the colossal amount of shit piled up on the shit sites.

As a general rule, stick to free and open stuff because the motivation of the people doing it is to give to the community, rather than make money. Mastodon and Lemmy/Kbin rather than Xitter and Reddit. Just stay away from Facebook. There are lots of old style bulletin boards still around for various interests, and they are often more used than FB groups.

I stopped putting adverts on my sites ages ago because I hate them so much. I don't want to be part of the enshittification.

I like FreeCAD. I know some people hate it, but I find the requirement to do things carefully and properly to avoid horrible errors later on really focusses my mind on what I'm designing. I end up with something that is probably better designed than if I could just lash something together and let the software sort out the mess.

Make something nice for dinner, open a nice bottle of wine, leave the dishes until the morning, have a wank, and watch a favourite film on TV.

What moral authority does society have to say that killing is wrong, if it does it itself? Justice needs to have higher standards than the people it's passing judgement on.

My dad died two years ago and I couldn't even tell you the month. There's too much shit going on to remember dates.

You are right. I've corrected it. Thanks

If you want kill or maim someone, do it with a car.

Quite. After all this shit I want to have a rest.

Sounds like you are very similar to me and a billion or so other people. I don't see much point in creating a label for yourself in order to restrict yourself to that label. You are what you are and don't worry about it. I had a thing with a trans woman for a while and now I'm happily married with kids. Whatever I am has never had a negative affect on my life because I don't worry about what I am.
