I don't know if it's the same for everyone but sometimes I end up forgetting that I'm wearing a mask until I start thinking "hell, it's becoming increasingly harder to breathe. Time to take this off."

I've seen some fellow cyclists, and walkers in the middle of nowhere wearing masks. I also see a fair number of motorists who fail to turn off their turn signal after passing me on my bike, I find it quite amusing.

@cheru That makes a lot more sense. Thank you for shedding some light on this behaviour. @bmh It always befuddles me when people forget to turn it off. Cars specifically make a repeating sound when you have a turn signal on, and eventually start doing the warning beep if you don't turn it off for long enough!

Your thoughts in the fifth item remind me of my observations while in China of how the people there drove, which, due to the looser and more chaotic traffic environment, made them far more attentive to everything. I feel that U.S. traffic regulations are too minute and comprehensive, and consequently U.S. drivers have become like inattentive robots who don't think when they drive.

Thank you for your insight, @lolwut. That does make a lot of sense. There is definitely too much focus on following minute rules while driving in this country, and I can see how that would at least contribute to the problem. I think I even read somewhere years ago that it was proven that the excess amount of road signs actually made people in America drive worse.

SO close to 10,000 views! Hopefully I'll have something new done by the time I hit the milestone. I'm working on several pages at once but it's going rather slow...

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Alternatives to Big Technology Platforms and Programs article is finally up! https://koshka.neocities.org/scroogle2-scroogleharder.html It's showing as part of yesterday's update due to Neocities' goofiness.

thanks for this! personally i'm not too worried about discord as a casual user who's disabled the data usage options, but it won't be getting my number if i'm ever locked out of my account. i appreciate the group i've found and the valuable resources it's provided, but i'll manage and friends will know where to find me.

i also recently bought a new pc and will be doing a fresh reinstall of windows. i'd give linux a shot if it weren't for compatibility issues, so for now i'll just have to maximize my privacy as best as i can with a microsoft product, using the link you provided about windows 10. fun stuff.

Thank you for your feedback! Linux can actually run a lot of Windows programs using WINE, and Proton is even capable of running a myriad of Windows games. https://www.protondb.com/

ah unfortunately i have a certain drawing tablet that doesn't work with linux, not even with digimend :( that's the biggest issue for me. hopefully it will be supported in the future.

Very impressive write-up on the whole, though I'd like to note two things: 1. Telegram requires a phone number to sign up; based on the comments around Parler, I think we both agree this is unpleasant.

2. Re: Mastodon, I think you missed some subtleties; the point of it isn't to be one big platform, but rather to be one big *protocol*, much like IRC, except different servers can talk to each other. It's meant to ensure that no one group has undue power -- the only thing people can really do when faced with stuff they disagree with is block them and move on, instead of being able to fully deplatform them.

I looked at mastodon as an alternative to roleplaying on twitter. It was promising, apart from one thing - I found it difficult to find people with similar interests. There's loads of instances but finding one which was appropriate to join wasn't easy. You can set one up yourself, but you need to know how to run the software, or pay for someone else to host it/look after the technical stuff for you.

The last wasn't good a good option because there was a limit on the number of accounts that could be on it - not a good thing when people might want to play more than one character so it was quite limited to what I wanted.

Thank you for your gracious words and feedback, @shadowm00n!! I will put up an updated/corrected version of the article incorporating your corrections, and a good alternative video site a person on Gab linked me to, today or tomorrow.

Very useful information. I was quite delighted that you included Cock.li in the e-mail section, and I would also add that not all of its domain names (e.g., airmail.cc and firemail.cc) are offensive. As for YouTube alternatives, I would recommend VidLii and BitView: both imitate old, 2000s YouTube, and I also maintain an account on the former. Also, for Web browsers, I see that Internet Explorer has been omitted...

I also quite like Yandex search. In my experience, its chief advantage when compared to Google, Bing, and Yahoo is its complete lack of bias/censorship (e.g. try searching "8chan" in Yandex vs. the other three); unfortunately, it often delivers Russian-language results when I search in English. Apparently, its reverse image-searching capabilities for anime are excellent: https://files.catbox.moe/3gxqxw.png

Thank you for your feedback, my friend!! I will put up an update with corrections and updates based on what you said. I don't really have an opinion on Internet Explorer but it seems to also be spyware from what I have heard.

My statement on the website reaching the vaunted milestone of 10,000 viewers.
Congratulations! (I had no idea one needs 10,000 views for the tags to work. I wonder what the logic behind that is.)
Thank you so much, @nenko! I'm guessing the 10,000 views thing is meant so that casual searchers only see the most popular websites. I never liked the concept personally, and it's weird that it doesn't say that anywhere. I mentioned it in my Welcome to Neocities article along with other nuances but it should really be officially stated somewhere (unless it is and I failed to find it.)
I have <10k views but I've showed up on the searches since I've started--I accidentally run into myself alot when sorting by last updated lol
@holeinmyheart, I feel like the phenomenon mainly occurs when clicking on tags in someone's profile, resulting in a search being made for other websites that fit those tags. I can't find your website via merely clicking on any of your three current tags and looking through the results so this appears to be accurate, from my end at least...
ohhh i see got it
