curt

I already get blocked by several sites because I have an ad blocker running.

Decades ago, the Russians developed a tertiary computer using -5, 0, and 5 volts. It went no where probably because it wasn't much of an improvement over a binary computer.

I was a lurker on Reddit unless I had a question in a technical forum. Here, I post on lemmy/kbin because the communities are smaller and welcoming.

Now the computer culture at school is Facebook

School is a distant memory for me, but I'm pretty sure kids these days avoid Facebook like the plague. Their parents are on it.

I'll pile on and vote for #1 as well.

So a bit of an uptick. Tuesday might be when it shoots up, assuming it does.

I like this quote from the link article:

A poster on one subreddit dedicated to saving the third-party apps broke it down succinctly: “Never forget how Reddit began as an empty website, which its founders populated with hundreds of fake accounts to give the illusion of activity and popularity—Remember that without us, the users, Reddit would be nothing but [Hoffman’s] digital dollhouse.”

At least kbin and lemmy sites are populated by hundreds of fake accounts. And with us on those sites, they won't be doll houses.

I had a hard time registering with beehaw.org during the last growth spurt. It took a few days for the registration to go through. Once it did, I got approved right away. Give it a few days to calm down. Of course, now that you are on kbin, you really don't have to sign up anywhere else for most purposes.

I converted to Reeder from Apollo to read my subscribed subreddits. I only converted about a quarter of them. Now that I go through every post, I'm dropping a few more subreddits for not being very interesting. At this rate, I may quit altogether.
