Katherine 🪴
Hi! I’m Katherine, or webkitten. I’ve been on the internet since our family got our first computer - a Tandy Sensation.
Yes, I went to computer camp as a kid and learned how to program BASIC on Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 4.
I’m trans, queer, and bisexual. #actuallyautistic
I started programming with PHP in the mid 90s and haven’t stopped. I’m an advocate for the open web; I used Netscape as long as I can remember.
I have an obsession with Hello Kitty, Moogles, and Squishmallows.

The problem is that electronic mail requires internet tax an internet is mostly privatised with a high learning curve whereas postal mail generally just requires a residential address (still not perfect but better). Postal mail in many regions has also been largely privatised, unfortunately, too.

I believe this one is the original which was linked on the original bsky post, too: https://archive.org/details/3mam75w3oec2n
The early 2000s music sharing software company LimeWire — now resurrected as a crypto company by new owners — won rights to the infamous Fyre Festival in an auction that was held on eBay, reportedly beating out Ryan Reynolds’ company for the rights.
Just get it on archive.org; it’s probably a lot safer.
They already know about Anna’s Archive considering the disruption back during the summer.

Ads are technically content, I suppose.
Adguard won’t work but uBlock Origin on Librewolf or Firefox works with at least the EasyList subscription (possibly Peter Lowe’s too). You can also use either the built in tracker in Vivaldi (just go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Manage Sources) and enable EasyList/disable the Allow ads from our partners).
Vivaldi also supports MV2 uBlock Origin for now; it will say it’s not supported but Vivaldi is fighting the removal of MV2).
I’ve had a good mix of filters and haven’t gotten the adblock warning for Youtube (knock on wood). It’s been a while since configuring but I think enabling Disable pre-fetching (to prevent any connection for blocked network requests and I’m an advanced user will help out.
I have all the uBlock Filters, EasyList, AdGuard, AdGuard/uBO – URL Tracking Protection, Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN, Online Malicious URL Blocklist, Phishing URL Blocklist
