Current annoyance with the online world. Email FOMO subject lines like "last chance" "chosen specifically for you" "your unique code" "One time offer" "enhance your readiness" "recommended" "come back with 30% off"... etc...

I can and do unsubscribe from many mailings, but there are some products and services I'm interested in.

I just wish every info packet wasn't a "call to action" in the marketing parlance.

I understand my privilege to be #peeved at this.

I'm still annoyed at it. *Grump*

I mark that shit as Spam and move on. If I want to see some of the mailings or I have an ongoing relationship with a vendor I won't unsubscribe, but their mail goes into Spam by default from here on out.

If needed I'll mark something as Not Spam too. Let the Bayesian filters recalibrate and reset if needed.

But I'm with you. Hate any and all "call to action" verbs in marketing.

She acts like she just woke up one morning with a married man's cock in her mouth. She still accepts ZERO responsibility for her role in her affair with a President.

The skank was 22! not 15. Is her argument that 22 is too young for the age of consent? Are all women this stupid and irresponsible?

She was a S-L-U-T and so was Billy. They deserve each other and should be forced to marry!

Easy solution: Provoke the bees with a lawn mower and then gas the f'ck out of the colonies when they swam. Kill them in mass. Problem solved. You're welcome.

Search-Friendly Web Design: Core Tactics for Better Visibility


 Design and SEO work together. Let's break down the essential tactics for a website that ranks well—straightforward, no jargon.

Overhauling your website is a significant step. You're likely thinking about style, branding, or interactive elements. But here's a critical truth: even the most beautiful site will falter if it's not built with SEO in mind.

Design and SEO work together. Let's break down the essential tactics for a website that ranks well—straightforward, no jargon.

Speed Is Critical


A slow site is a lost opportunity. Visitors abandon it. Google notices. Your rankings drop.

Poor performance often comes from heavy code, large images, or unnecessary add-ons. A talented website designer will fix this—compressing files, cleaning the backend, and keeping things lean.

Speed isn't optional. It's a must.

Mobile Is the Focus


More people use phones than computers to browse. That's not a shift—it's the reality. A site that struggles on mobile is already falling behind.

This goes beyond a responsive design. Buttons should be clickable. Text must be clear without zooming. Forms need to function without frustration.

It should feel seamless. If it doesn't, users exit, and Google sees it.

Simple Structure Wins


Your website should make sense at first glance. Visitors should immediately understand where they are, what you do, and how to move forward—no confusion needed.

This clarity also helps search engines scan and rank your content. Logical organization and clear labels boost visibility.

Avoid messiness. Skip navigation tricks that look cool but confuse. Simplicity performs best.

Content Is the Core


Design grabs attention. Content holds it.

Search engines prioritize meaningful, clear information. Every page should have a purpose, and that purpose should be easy to spot. No need for keyword overload or stiff writing—just talk like you're explaining to a friend.

For instance, if you offer web design services, describe what you provide, who it's for, and how to begin. No filler. No vague buzzwords.

Real content, for real people.

Technical Details Matter


You don't need coding expertise, but a few essentials are crucial.

Each page needs a clear title and a brief meta description for search results. Images should include alt text for accessibility and SEO. Your site must run on HTTPS for security. A sitemap ensures search engines can navigate your content.

These are the hidden factors that drive success. A reliable web design agency manages them without making it your problem.

Pop-Ups Can Hurt


We've all clicked a link and been hit with a full-screen pop-up. It's irritating. It also damages rankings, especially on mobile.

Google views intrusive pop-ups as user-unfriendly. If you use them, keep them minimal. Or better, rethink their necessity.

Build for Users, Not Just Search Engines


Search engines matter, but people are the priority.

Strong design leads visitors through their journey, solves their problems, and feels trustworthy. When you focus on users, rankings often improve naturally.

Test this by letting someone explore your site without guidance. Watch their behavior. You'll learn more than from any SEO theory.

Before You Choose a Designer...


Not all designers prioritize SEO. Ask tough questions. Don't just ask about looks—ask how they handle speed, mobile performance, and site organization. Ask what they do to ensure discoverability.

A good website designer integrates SEO from the outset.

Final Takeaway


Design and SEO aren't separate challenges. They're part of the same mission: delivering your content to the right people efficiently.

When planning your redesign, focus on this. Build for users. Keep it fast, clear, and straightforward. Let the design enhance the content, not dominate it. And if you're hiring, pick someone who gets this.

Your site shouldn't just be attractive—it should be found.

Whatever you end up using, have JACK sync 'em up. I used to have two Macs, one for recording with Nuendo and one for doing MIDI sequencing and programming. They synced via MIDI sync and there was always issues. Now I have everything on one Linux machine (Ardour records and mixes, Reaper sequences MIDI and Renoise does beats and other sampling related stuff) and with JACK the sync is seamless ❤

Har netop, om ikke andet til en prøveperiode, tilføjet et "addon" så man nu kan lave opslag med blikfangsbaggrunde som denne.

Hvis man kunne lave afstemninger herinde, hvilket man desværre ikke kan pt., ville jeg så lige spørge, om det er god idé, dårlig idé eller ligegyldigt. 😀

Ift. hvordan man gør, så kan man, når man er i gang med et opslag, tilføje en sådan baggrund ved at trykke på denne nye knap, og så skal man så skrive teksten man ønsker fremhævet inden for den "boks", så at sige:

Dette Friendica "addon" er lavet af samme person, der har lavet det nuværende standard-tema, der bruges herinde: "Bookface".

because people from the global south are nothing more than rhetorical constructs to liberals

::: spoiler Transcription

Screenshot of a Tumblr post by imsobadatnicknames2:

"A couple years later it's still amazing what a perfect distillation the original 'anonymized people of the global south' tweet is of the absolute callousness of yankee liberals;

(Screenshot of a Twitter post by @loudpenitent: "An anonymized 'people of the global south' is not worth more than domestic queer citizens or any other member of any other marginalized community - or, bluntly, any fellow citizen at all. Real-ass human beings matter more than rhetorical constructs.") (end of Twitter screenshot, back to imsobadatnicknames2’s commentary);

Stop Forgetting It

We can all collectively thank Reagan, among other terrible things we have to deal with today due to his administration, he is also responsible for the state of news media in the US in 2025. Previous to Reagan we had a policy called The Fairness Doctrine, it was a policy introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints. Broadcasters could show opposing viewpoints via option pieces, news segments or talk shows, but if they reported on one side they were required to show the other.

In 1987 under Reagan the FCC abolished the Fairness Doctrine. Broadcasters were no longer required to air apposing viewpoints of controversial topics. This has directly lead to the echo chambers that you see in the news media today.

Can we appreciate how horny everyone is for Mario in TTYD?

So I am playing through Paper Mario TTYD on my Switch for the first time. I never played these games growing up, and while I kinda enjoyed the Super Mario RPG remake for its quirkiness, I strongly believe that if you don’t have specific nostalgia for it, it just doesn’t hit the same.

TTYD is great. It’s so fun and captures a sense of adventure, with big swings from light hearted comedy into some dark territories. I was not expecting that, but I absolutely was not expecting just how horny everyone seems to be for Marty-o!

All the ladies swoon and mention how manly he is, commenting on his moustache. I was not expecting this coming from a Nintendo game. It’s pretty funny and I love it!

This project is coming along nicely.

A modified Barracuda in the wild.

It will be my OPNsense router for my new business location. I very much enjoy piecing together old hardware to make something useful or interesting.

The chassis is a salvaged Barracuda BSF200a appliance. Stripped most of what was in there out, leaving the power supply. Replaced the motherboard with Gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI - this was chosen due to the dual GbE network ports.

Low profile cooler (heatsink) came from a SuperMicro motherboard combo that I ordered from ebay. Kingston 120GB SSD came from local recycling.

Processor is i3-3220T - a lower power option than the processor that I originally got with the motherboard.

Blower fan is from a Dell Optiplex SFF machine, placed upside down, cushioned with foam and hot-glued in place.

It is a thoroughly custom solution built from parts I acquired from many sources.

ooh, new dark pattern I discovered today.

Stuck with MS Teams at $DAYJOB, I continue to hold onto the thick-client instead of succumbing to the heavy-weight web client.

Just about every time I switch to the app after a couple hours of not using it, it pops up a "This is unsupported" interruption with a link to learn more, HUGE, colorful "Try it on the web" button, and a smaller light "continue using this antiquated unsupported piece of junk" type button.

As if that wasn't bad enough, as dark patterns go, when you tab through the controls, focus lands on the "more information" link and on the "try it on the web" button, but the "continue using this" simply won't focus with the keyboard. You HAVE to reach for the mouse to click the "continue using this"

Have I mentioned how much I loathe using MS products, and Teams in particular?
