@EposVox Interesting insight. When I got my first IBM PC in the early ‘80s, I sat at it with a book about DOS and taught myself. Learning DOS made a huge difference in understanding how the computer worked. Ditto a Unix book and the early internet. Willingness to experiment was important, too.

@chespace I’ve been doing the same, a few at a time. It takes a while. I wish I could delete retweets, as well, but it’s not letting me.

I’m furious at ActivisionBlizzard for being so reprehensible I can’t in good conscience give them my money, which means I’m shut out of the game where I spent actual years of my life and that feels like home.

Anyone know why all my inline images are broken? I haven&#39;t changed any settings, and I can see the images if I open them in a new tab. This on both Chrome and Edge browsers, as well as Metatext on iOS. These aren&#39;t hidden, sensitive images, just every image.

This place is essentially broken for me, because no images will load either on two web browsers or my iPhone. I used to be able to click the image and open in a new tab on the PC, but now I&#39;m getting blocked from that because it&#39;s seen as a &quot;dangerous website.&quot; I&#39;ll keep checking back to see if it&#39;s fixed, but can&#39;t really participate with this mess of broken images taking up most of every page.

@fern Hi. Thanks for replying. It seems to be ok on Geekdom.social/explore. It happens on Chrome and Edge on my PC and was happening on Metatext on my phone, but seems to be ok on Metatext now. I haven&#39;t changed any settings on my PC, network, or Mastodon. I also have my virus scanner under control for every other website, so I don&#39;t know why it would single out mindly.social. My ISP may have sneaked something in to make my life difficult.

@fern @Ishtarmuz @RobynMorrisonME Something called AT&amp;T Active Armor was causing the problem. I turned it off -- I have plenty of other internet security and antivirus -- and now everything&#39;s working. So, thanks again for your help!

Packing to move from the house I&#39;ve lived in for nearly 30 years is a lot of work. Looking forward to the new house, though.
