RUSSIA: One More Reminder...
Mar. 2nd, 2020 06:28 pm...of why I left Livejournal back in 2017.
The new terms of service once the server farms were moved from San Francisco to Moskva required - to my understanding - that users conduct themselves on LJ as if they lived in Russia.
Well, Vladimir Putin and his cronies have put forth another reminder of what that means, and why I want nothing to do with such practices: a new batch of constitutional amendments.

How long was it between the anti-corruption protests that swept all those Russian cities and the announcement-by-ambush of the LJ ToS changes? And isn't Alexei Navalny an LJ user himself?
My LJ Account is Dead
Apr. 3rd, 2017 09:53 pmThey've got a new user agreement in place, a "non-valid" English translation of the Russian version, which SUP is claiming is the only valid version now.
So I'm done with LJ.
So I'm done with LJ.
Just did some culling of feeds and deactivated friendlisters' accounts from my LJ friendlist. Seemed like the thing to do tonight. Slowly migrating a few more things over to Dreamwidth.
(And yes, still the same username at Dreamwidth as at LJ. I was surprised to find the username available, honestly. Glad, but surprised.)

Question: given the recent move of the Livejournal servers to Moscow, shall I shut down the Ottawa Fandom Community on LJ? Or try to migrate it to Dreamwidth?
Alternatively: There's some additional activity there, but the last time anyone other than me posted there was 2012. So, if anyone who's planning to hold onto their LJ account wants to keep it going, I'll transfer ownership.

Experiment in Image Upload
Dec. 5th, 2015 11:57 amSeems as if it'll work if I add an image to an entry...like so with my idea for a SHIELD flag here: 
But it doesn't work if I try to upload directly to a scrapbook directory anymore.
Thoughts?

Weird Habits of LJ
Nov. 8th, 2015 08:32 pmI've noticed over this weekend that LJ has developed a tic. Or a habit. Not sure what the right word for it is, but here it is: after a certain - variable - amount of "inactive" time, LJ will kick you out and you have to log back in again. This was not always the case, and the practice as presently coded into the website is an annoyance to me.
The suspicion exists that I am not alone in either the experience or the annoyance.
Anyone else?

Pending Anniversaries on LJ
Jul. 3rd, 2015 08:09 pmSomething that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jkahane wrote tonight triggered a look-see at my records here. It seems that this coming October will mark my tenth anniversary as a Livejournal user.
Wondering how best to mark the occasion...

Whatever the problem was...
Jun. 3rd, 2015 09:56 am...as I complained by implication about logging in here over on my Facebook account?
It's solved. B-)
More on other stuff later in the day...

insidecbc because CBC (or their agents) let the domain name lapse, and now it's being used by some Germanophone(?) weblogger for reasons I don't know the language well enough to understand.
(Seriously: if English-speakers are "anglophones", and French-speakers are "francophones", what might we call German-speakers?)
