Reblogs of the day

[potboy]

Since DW doesn't have a reblog function, and yet people are saying important things that other people might want to hear, I'm going to do it like this: Everything I want to reblog, I'm going to put in a daily link post.

So. Here goes for the first one - I hope I can settle on a format if I manage to keep this up for more than a week.

• dragonlady7  talking about the root causes of Tumblr's Fuckening and what to do about them
• acidwitch   omg, it's fractal - this is a link leading to a link post with some cute animals, porg rating, fandom trends and more.
• dragonlady7   on whether you can host your images on Google for free (summary, you can't really)
  
• lady_of_ashes   just some fascinating meta about the Dark Side and pagan coding - filigranka  , you might like this

I'm not 100% sure I've got the hang of how to retrieve saved drafts on here, so I'm going to post this now because I'm going out.

yeah nah. it's not obvious.
the only reason my dude even got involved was that i was like, well, i gotta copy this script from github and run it in my terminal and he was like WAIT A MINUTE THAT COULD DO LITERALLY ANYTHING and i was like yes, yes that's how this works, and he was like GIVE THAT HERE.

i think he thought i was going to just randomly run whatever i found on my hard drive without even like, verifying that other people had looked at it and determined that it was what it said it was.

I'm not going to lie - randomly running some stuff without knowing exactly what it will do is totally something I might actually do. Perhaps I'll get my IT guy to look at it too :)
