Defederated social media lol

I’m curious, where exactly do you draw the line with your reasoning? You can denounce dumping oil into the ocean without convicting all of Shell? You can denounce the invasion of Crimea without convicting all of the Russian military? You can denounce murder without convicting all murders? Why not skip this alltogether and denounce all bad things without convicting all good things, that makes the game of ethics a whole lot easier.

“western civilization” is not a majority. It’s a minority who has been dominating the discussion for way too long, and people are tired of listening to the hypocrisy.

So denouncing genocide is now “political extremism”? If posts like that are scaring people away, that’s good, we don’t need them here.

Yes exactly. When reddit pulled that api pricing shit, I just got up and left. I came here expecting shitposts, braindead “hot” takes, piss-poor reading comprehension, and americans acting like they’re the only country in the world. I got exactly what I expected and I couldn’t be more satisfied, 10/10 would nuke my reddit account again.

If the skin is punctured then yes of course it would hurt a lot. But with sweat/saltwater? I’m no expert, but I highly doubt it. I remember helping a friend out with his boat (also 12v) during a hot summer, and I was holding onto the battery terminals with really sweaty hands. It was just a tingle.

I don’t have a particular scene, but a here’s a funny conversation I had with an acquaintance:

Huh, this thing takes just 12 volts. Could run it in a car.

Wait, a car’s electricals are just 12 volts?

Yeah. The battery and most wiring around a car is 12 volts.

Wait… then what about those scenes in movies where they torture people with car batteries?

Yeah, those are fake.

looking into the distance as the realization dawns on him Those movie directors deserve jail time.

It’s going to confuse everyday users

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I believe this is the intention. I think big companies deliberately put in confusing and bad design to “test the waters” and see if people will still buy their products. It’s the same with the apple mouse charging on the bottom, or why companies keep making their logos uglier with each iteration. It’s a psy-op to condition the masses into accepting worse products without complaining.

This is correct, but still, fuck apple. What if I just prefer to turn my computer off instead of putting it into sleep mode? And how exactly am I supposed to wake up my computer from sleep if the power button is inaccessible? I know macs can be configured to wake up on keyboard/mouse activity, but that makes them too easy to wake up on accident.

If you browse linux communities long enough, you eventually start seeing openbsd users who condescendingly speak about linux the same way some linux users speak about windows lol. It’s turtles all the way down!

One time an update broke audio, and I spent like 15 minutes digging around in pipewire logs and weird config parameters before I realized that I was literally just muted lol. Pulseaudio has irrevocably conditioned me to assume that whenever there is no audio, it must be some obscure bizzare weird issue instead of something simple

Won’t save you from a bricked bootloader tho haha

I’m a Linux user, and I have “X11 decides to lock up the entire system irrecoverably for no reason” syndrome. Should probably look into wayland…

What on earth are you talking about?? Of course they don’t have to compete. It’s a meme. It’s meant to be funny, not accurate. What does my ego have to do with anything?

I really wish email had a built-in aliases feature. Like, so you can create unlimited new addresses that just point to your normal inbox. That would help so much with spam, since you could just block individual aliases. I know some email providers have this feature, but usually it’s paid. Plus Addressing is also nice, but it does nothing to hide your “real” address. Also I’m disappointed that end-to-end encrypted email is basically never used by normal people.

Why is this weird? “Apple” used to be the generic word for fruit in many different languages, it wasn’t until recently that it took on the meaning of a specific type of fruit. I don’t think calling potatoes “fruit of the earth” is at all strange. The English equivalent to this is the word “pineapple” – a fruit that kind of looks like a pine cone.

Fediverse will never EVER hit critical mass unless the users and mods stop calling everyone they don’t agree with a Nazi.

TBH this is to be expected from a demographic made up largely of ex-reddit users

I’ve watched the whole video through, and honestly that felt like an underbaked take. People will have difficulty understanding federation? Seriously!? Surprise surprise, but if you know what email is, you already understand federation.

Maybe I’m confused, but from what I understand, “declarative” means you tell the computer what you want the final thing to look like, and “imperative” means you tell the computer what steps to take. So Dockerfile would be imperative because it’s a set of commands that are executed in-order to create the image. Meanwhile docker-compose.yml is declarative because you say which containers are used with what options and how they’re interconnected. IDK tho, as far as I understand the definitions aren’t that rigid

TIL, thanks!
