Well on Reddit I would have superscripted the text but I can’t or don’t know how to do that here. So I improvised.

Simpossible! … (((I’ll see myself out, sorry)))
A good suggestion. I’m already trying to post less, comment less, and just focus on making better, more frequently positive contributions.
Pay billions for a userbase, then drive away the ones that aren’t Nazis or bots.
Back when I started with Reddit I remember sorting by new and thinking, jeez why would anyone sift through all this crap… Cut to me exclusively sorting by new all the time because I looked at ev.ry.thing. So yeah, this is nice. Though in the future it may be just as full. Cross that bridge when we come to it I guess.
Don’t forget undermining democracy. Nothing like hearing the freshest Russian propaganda from my mother on a crisp Autumn morning.
The “silent majority” is neither.
Unlike capitalism, which is a bunch of random people climbing on eachothers back and when one gets to the top he is not expected to pull the others up.
Okay but when speaking do we call it “dubs-get” or no?
I dunno. I like to have a fresh start sometimes. Take your documents, maybe just your fav config files, and plop them into a fresh install. Not everyone’s cup of tea but I like it.
And Chaucer split infinitives, but I was always told it was “wrong” in gradeschool. That’s the problem with pedantry: language is a fascinatingly complex and beautiful set of patterns. Boiling it down to rules is at best a handy style guide for formal writing, but at worst it gets weaponed as a way to discriminate against people who use lower prestige dialects.
I’ve got 3 main computers because I’m a tech hoarder. Ubuntu MATE, Linux Mint, and Pop!_OS with XFCE. I’ve also got a little craptop for distro hopping, currently it’s got Debian 12. My work provided a Windows laptop but I only have to bring it to meetings.
Where I work just switching into a TTY would be enough to keep anyone out.
Even worse, just making money isn’t enough: you also have to become a fucking global monopoly.
That is by far the most likely scenario. Hell it’s already happening with the AI we do have. Teslas driving into walls, facial recognition mistaking an innocent person for a criminal (mentioned in the article).
Doomsday science fiction is fun to toy with but it usually involves a lot of hand waving.
I’ve been getting into primitive technology lately. It all started when I looked at my back yard and thought hey, if we call it red clay, then I should be able to make it into pottery. I take dirt from my yard, levigate it, add grog and wedge, hand-build pots, and fire them in my fire pit. Been making sharpening stones from river rocks. Crafting replicas of Roman machines. That sort of thing.
Have you ever gotten GNU/Hurd running on hardware?
…by failing they mean “isn’t making money for rich people”.
That’s exactly it. Mastodon won’t live or die by how well it can compete with Birdsite. After making the switch I see that it’s all I wanted from microblogging as a practice.
Yeah! ^That’s ^^the ^^^ticket!
Edit: okay so only one level. That’s fine.
