What does donotlink.it do?

Using donotlink.it instead of linking to questionable websites directly will prevent your links from improving these websites' position in search engines. Additionally donotlink.it will remove the referer, so the linked website will not know where its visitors are coming from.

How does it work?

• This url is blocked in our robots.txt file, so (search engine) robots are discouraged from crawling it.
• The "nofollow" attribute of the link and the intermediate page give robots another reminder to not crawl the link.
• If a known robot does decide to crawl the link, our code will identify it and serve it a blank page (403 Forbidden) instead of redirecting to the url.
• Redirects are implemented via JavaScript and not via http response status codes so the browser will remove the referer from the request.

Hey all

I have a friend in Argentina currently who will be returning to San Francisco in like a few months probably

And they have been stressing a lot lately about the gentrification and massive piles of shit that has been going on in their city

But being a rural WA girl myself I'm not very well-versed in those problems or their solutions

So anyway

If any of y'all have thoughts or ideas on how a young twentysomething in SF/BA might get active and help to make things a little less shit

Wait, is mining for bitcoins basically your computer grinding for XP

Everyone knows Google doesn't replace servers when they go down.

When a high enough percentage of their servers on a planet fail, they simply launch a few vehicles into orbit, destroy the biosphere with a nuclear bombardment (to protect trade secrets and company IP), then relocate the entire company to a new planet and build a search engine for whatever civilization is there.

It's much more efficient.

i said it before and will keep saying it forever: we always think about how to scale things up and never about how to scale things down

I would love to be able to follow people on Mastodon, but still only see content they post that is in languages I speak. As in: Mastodon, follow this guy, and show me all of the stuff he posts in English. But don't show what he posts in Spanish, because I don't speak Spanish.

That would be excellent.

so uh, what about Google's security promises

Oh yeah fun fact, despite most distros packaging it, you're not supposed to use Chromium, its intended solely for development purposes. The build is often terribly broken or buggy.

But the stock situation with Chrome is so packed with features that spy on you, distros feel left without a choice.
