It did re-enable itself!
Stupid website!

Thanks @tromino

@popey @HexDSL Not to worry. Content for a future video :-)

@HexDSL @popey Well, mine is that I use Mint and AppImages and I managed to stretch that out for 25 minutes. lol

@tomasino Thanks!

Yeah, I've really come to appreciate the amount of control AppImages give you.

@Ayior Twitter profits from forcing user engagement. The Fediverse is completely agnostic to it.

I don't know if it's algorithmic, or rather just the types of people and behaviour corporate platforms attract and encourage.

Nowadays, the 'liked' posts I see are just humble brags, virtue signalling and generally people trying to put on a bullshit façade.

Obviously all of us don't always see eye-to-eye here, but at least in the Fediverse, people are genuine and real and not trying to pretend to the world we're something we're not.

Twitter (and the rest) is what happens when we let corporations be our social gatekeeper.

I detest with a passion how Twitter feels the need to present me with posts I have no interest or connection to, on the sole virtue that the post that has been 'liked' by someone I follow.

These nonsense ways of forcing engagement are the exact reason why I don't feel at home there and the #Fediverse is where I come to have actual fun and chat with real people.

Non-profit networks like this don't force this nonsense on people.

@cb Welcome back.
