At this point, I don’t trust this site as a social media platform anymore. I have set up a Bluesky account ( and a Mastodon account (. I use my Syndic script ( to post to the 3 sites at the same time.

Note: I will start using this platform less as I start transitioning to Bluesky ( used more), Mastodon ( and blogging ( not ready yet).

Also, just don't use overlays (#accessiBe, #UserWay and other scripts claiming to fix accessibility issues.) Design your site with accessibility in mind. I could write an entire essay about overlays, but there are already so many. (3/3).

For anyone who thinks that "click here" is helpful:. It's not the '90s, when the World Wide Web just started. The <blink> element doesn't exist anymore. Your site is not hosted on GeoCities. It's one of my core pet peeves by now. Just change the link to what it goes to. (2/3).

So an accessibility overlay company uses "click here" links. (1/3)

Bit of constructive criticism, @internetarchive:. Stop letting people use three-character passwords. (Registration and email verification is currently broken and returns 403)

Interesting, but still not paying.

The first interactive ad I've seen in some time:. Daily @duolingo lesson: heart count gone (probably a bug), then when it's finished, you actually had me swipe to answer the Lily video call feature and I thought I somehow got free Duolingo Max. Then it told me to pay up.

RT @TopGyaru:

So I guess summation, the effects of John and Mike Mew's practices, and 1/50 of the US states are now banned.

This is why Apple added Today to the App Store. Charts mean nothing interesting; you either already have the top apps, or it’s something like Temu.

No. You’re a robot. (“Press 1 for English, 2 for Chinese” scam calls)

Wayforward Machine (the dystopian campaign in 2021) is still online, and is, as far as I know, the other @internetarchive service currently online, besides the provisional Wayback Machine.

The Wayback Machine is now "online", as in, a read-only copy is now back. No signs of things like alert('Do you feel like the Internet Archive runs on sticks?'). I will keep checking for signs of being hacked again. Please change your passwords, and possibly donate.

RT @endingwithali: This is for who ever hacked the @internetarchive

I’ll be paying through a prepaid card, for anyone concerned about a possible payment system breach.

I’m finally donating to the @internetarchive after multiple DDoS attacks and breach. They really need to improve security, and IA is very vital, so donating. Everyone, please change your passwords.

RT @tern_et: we made a WinRAR bag !

Interesting product placement.

This might be referring to something else, but my understanding is that 聊天 = the comment section. And yes, I do speak Chinese. (2/2).
