I posted about "deleting technology" as a way of simplifying your life. A few weeks later an automated system suspended my Facebook and Instagram accounts. It seems the technology deleted me... 👀 https://scalebright.ca/the-technology-deleted-me/

This is how it feels to have a clicky keyboard and more than one monitor. image

HA! Finally banned on Facebook! But not for reasons that would win me Cool Guy Internet Points™️. One of my old FB Pages got a strike from their automated systems (reasons unknown, haven't used the page in years), which triggered an automated suspension of my business's Instagram account, which triggered an automated suspension of my personal FB account. I managed to get my business Instagram account back, but my FB account is still suspended. After seeing a zillion Reddit posts from people experiencing the exact same thing I decided to email FB's support desk, but my fingers aren't crossed. My 16-ish year old account (yup, OG FB user here) will probably be gone the way of the fax machine 🤷‍♂️

Those aren't "microaggressions", they're just being an asshat. Tell them to stop being an asshat.

Squirrel time! I'll try to keep it short. All numbers CAD and assuming my region (inna woods in western Canada). Adjusted for inflation from 1960, having a private telephone line installed at your farm 40KM from the switchboard (also assuming you're already on the party line) would have been about $16,000 to $32,000 depending on the difficulty of the run. Power was similar, though having power on a farm 40KM out of town would have been considered boujee. Having juice installed today is also similar, but considered a necessity. Some jurisdictions actually require it for a building permit, even if you're building off-grid and supplying your own power. Modern homesteading is for rich people confirmed.

I’d send you a fax but my pigeon is tired.

I’ve been doing a weekly company blog for a few months and was including an audio version for those who didn’t have the inclination to read. This week I thought, “wait…these are basically podcast episodes, what’s to stop me from putting this on @Fountain? I was able to continue hosting straight from my website using Castos’ plugin (which also handles the V4V injection into the RSS feed). If I ever get enough listeners that bandwidth is an issue I’ll migrate to a dedicated podcast service, but for now this $0 option is great 😅 https://fountain.fm/show/55Oag4fIVL5PSmxgI3zf image

I was going to self-host my "podcast" (and I may still in the future), but for now I think I'll admit defeat and use a provider. Who's the most based, Bitcoin-only podcast host out there atm?
