Just because it’s not tailored to your personal preferences doesn’t make it “shit”. For anyone who doesn’t want to manage code, Wordpress is worth considering.
Personally, I’d like to maintain Wordpress locally and offline. Then each update exported to the server as a static site. I just haven’t found a thorough enough tutorial online yet.

It was quiet, but people would sometimes discuss various way for preventing screens etc from being too much a part of their daily lives.
The only people arguing for it omit moral considerations, which is sad to see so widespread. There’s a certain price not worth paying for our toys.
I’m not having a conversation that compares people signing up to their favourite social media channel with people who suffer systemic discrimination every day in their lives.
It’s not being mean to them. Calling them names or something would be mean.
And they are not oppressed. Oppressed people don’t have choices.
But you support/validate the service by interacting with your contacts.
If a Mastodon instance was run by someone who allowed a genocide to be fuelled by their platform, and earn money from the advertising, I think we’d defederate in a heart beat. It just doesn’t seem consistent to federate with them.
But they are inseparable.
Name-calling isn’t necessary at all, if that’s what happening. That said, would you behave this way in a restaurant?
I organise a small group gathering at a local pub sometimes with people who aren’t close friends. If it’s just one person not buying in a decent sized group, then it doesn’t cause a problem for the venue as far as I know. When we’re huddled in a corner it’s hard to tell who has what drink.
But you simply wouldn’t get away with that if it wasn’t for the others buying drinks and we do so to “pay the rent” so to speak. So when that happens there is a vibe of “I’m fine with you guys covering me here”. Saying “I don’t spend money in bars” isn’t that different to saying “I let others spend their money at bars”.
Now if this was a group of good friends, or someone I knew was struggling financially, I’d be fine with it.
We’re obviously not getting the hint!
Take the time to develop more understanding, and therefore empathy for yourself and others. You’ll never truly do anything worthwhile without empathy.
I thought that pro web devs used virtualised services like browserstack to test on as many combinations of OS’s and browsers as they like?
Found the Finn.
Alien (1979). When the cryogenic sleep pods open at the beginning it reminds me of those dioramas people do of Baby J, the three wise men etc. The alien is like one of the animals, although a little more aggressive.
Pretending that they’d have a good life here: koalas and elephants.
To address the questions you’re really asking;
Thought you wrote 14k cats and was thinking that you had a quirky sense of humour.
The world appear in the aggregator but when I searched specifically for one in particular, I wasn’t found. Just now it works so I don’t know what changed. Thanks for pointing that out, I wouldn’t have tried again.
