The last decade has broken anyone’s ability to separate sarcasm from reality.

When stupid people think their opinions are as good as opinions from experts, the world edges closer to extinction.

I hear it was the South African Shitbeetle.

There’s always ‘self’.

I hope they eat well.

I don’t feel bad for deleting my account with 120,000+ karma.

This is the right way to solve paralysis, not Elon-killing-monkeys.

They imagine this place where only rich people live and work, but don’t think to the next step of who does the things that rich people don’t care to do…so they’ll bring in poor people and then eventually complain bitterly that they either can’t get what they want done at poverty wages, or that their local exclusive society is falling apart.

In short: there is no valid reason for the ultra-rich to exist. The rising tide doesn’t lift all boats: it sinks the boat that have been tethered to the sea floor.

I have to agree. Federation only goes a little way on the path to a proper decentralized social media system. Ideally, defederation should not be possible, and rather, community subscription should be the norm without concern over what instance it exists on.

I’m not saying it should become Usenet, but it should be more similar to Usenet than it is now.

Lawful neutral, though my laptop is up on a stand to bring it to the height of the monitor, so maybe chaotic good?

AUX, AUX, baby…

As someone with both Multiple Sclerosis and a whole bunch of environmental and food allergies, I hope we both get helped.

Streaming services need to be federated, so there is a central search for content, and services are paid seamlessly for what’s watched on their platforms. The customer barely needs to know who delivers the content.

FWIW, I suspect these stairs have been photographed before adding wood steps that are deeper/wider. I base that on the low visible height of the bottom step. A 1.5-2 inch wooden slab would normalize the height of each step.

People like this infuriate me. They don’t clue in that travel decreases the fear and antipathy toward other cultures.

I deleted my main Reddit account but still find myself going back there occasionally for specific topics. For example, I haven’t found a good place on Lemmy to ask travel questions.

Repeat after me…get fucked Elon.

I’m very much an Android user, but in an enterprise setting Apple products are so much easier to manage. When pushing certificates with profiles from Intune, we had no end of trouble with Android phones but iPhones were incredibly easy.

In principle it’s dumb, but we’ve also seen big tech companies push updates that are not security related under that guise.

I find it very stable. The only issues I’ve had have been in Google Maps, but that’s because Google keeps playing fuckaround with anticompetitive practices.
