Wow, what a supermodel!

Gee, what a surprise.

Yeah, that’s an archaic mindset. Most people would rather get a text these days.

XFCE is seriously underrated.

Ooh are we still doing beans?!

I’m gonna play Devil’s Advocate here…

What’s to stop them from scraping the Fediverse without federating? If they really want the data, they could very well find a way. At least they’re spelling it out here and announced an attempt at proper federation.

I wouldn’t have expected anything different.

English lost its genders pretty much by accident.

Yeah, Reddit was famously open to third party developers for 15 years or so, and now they and their bootlickers are claiming they didn’t know that there were third party apps using the API to browse the whole site.

Even the Apollo dev said nothing but good things about Reddit because they were very transparent with him until they decided to paywall the API. Nobody saw this coming.

Yeah, I’m on The Site Formerly Known As Twitter for artists, not gossip. Fortunately, the artist who drew my avatar (and who is a dear friend, Arsbin) is also on Mastodon, but she’s about the only one. TwitterX exploded in popularity in Japan when Elon took over for some reason, so my other dear friend, Nami, probably won’t leave anytime soon.

.com was a common file extension for MS-DOS executables, which was still in common use when the Internet started taking off.

I’m waiting for .7z because it doesn’t nag me to register it.

Seriously. We need to cut them some slack because nobody expected Reddit to go full Elon in May.

Just further proving my point that the political binary is the problem with this country.

I am pro-union, pro-LGBT+ rights, pro-human rights, pro-choice, believe in knowing your rights when dealing with the police, pro-marijuana, and not religious.

But the fucking moment I mention that I don’t like Biden or the way they handled the pandemic, suddenly all you assholes shut down and argue as if I’m a fucking Trump supporter. Fuck off with that bullshit. Vote Blue No Matter Who is a fucking cult just like Trumpism is.

ETA: I’m fucking glad Trump is being indicted because I’m fed up with him and his cult. I’m hoping they throw the fucking book at him.

I’ve had better luck with the third-party apps lately. They also implement the features that are available on desktop that the official mobile app is missing.

Gotta love the binary view of politics in this country.

I’m referring to people who work from home, never leave the house, and get everything delivered, and think that everybody else should do the same. And if they leave the house, they’re irresponsible. It blows my mind that there are people with lockdown nostalgia out there.

Have you not noticed that’s exactly what politics became in the US? Everybody would rather be in an echo chamber with other fans of their team than listen to anything the other side has to say.

By default, your instance will only know about communities on that instance and communities that users of that instance have intentionally subscribed to. Unfortunately, this causes problems for users of smaller instances unless the instance admins are running a federation helper bot, which basically scans remote instances for communities and adds them to the instance.

I found this out the hard way when I first tried Lemmy, since I picked a tiny instance due to the larger ones being overloaded in June. I had a hell of a time trying to subscribe to the communities for the new Lemmy apps I was trying out. I kept getting Community Not Found errors until I refreshed the page multiple times until it eventually found the community.

You’re delusional if you think any politicians actually care about anyone but themselves.

But the point is, I’m not comfortable with politicians deciding what’s “essential” and what isn’t, then ignoring the rules they set by partying in Florida.
