I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week until I don't. So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPH Vol. 9: sadgrl.online https://goblin-heart.net/sadgrl/

For Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta ( #GAMM ), the old cloud sync-and-share business model wasn’t working anymore.
