People talk a lot of insurrection but it’s very easy to sit on your ass and say “fuck the establishment” and feel like you’re doing something. When in fact, the platform is the very opiate that stops people from doing anything worthwhile

Welp, I’ll be on peertube then. My adblocker stays on.

They need to show profit to their investors. They sunk millions into NFT bullshit and now the only way is to force everyone into the official app to serve ads and whatever other nefarious ideas they have.

It’s a short term plan, guaranteed.

Impaired is impaired. Shouldn’t drive if your ability is compromised, especially when most people only start off with half a clue.

Coffee is also dangerous in the sense that it masks the sensation of fatigue, but you are still impaired. Driving tired is extremely dangerous as well.

I feel like it’s harder to break the bootloader these days. All my dual-booting escapades worked fine, I still have most of my hair, and there’s no way my Linux skills have improved that much.

IMAP supports TLS, what’s Proton’s excuse for enforcing their own delivery protocol?

Kbin was trivial to figure out. Mastodon I still struggle with a bit.

There are those of us who used to be tech-savvy "back in the day" that don't handle change either quickly or well.

I feel personally attacked, lol.

The problem I find with the technologically illiterate is that they immediately blurt out what’s on their mind. They ask the same fucking questions over and over, without searching first. The signal to noise ratio drops way down and every day is the same shit.

I am more than happy to interact with people of all walks of life but the internet is very “Groundhog Day” compared with when techies were the only ones on here. I’m not sure what the solution is that gives us perpetual cake.

They won’t in the short term.

In the long run they’ll hopefully go the way of myspace/digg.

It takes a long time for a juggernaut to die. They can circle the drain for years

Don’t know don’t care, I haven’t been back since the bullshit started.

The last finale finished in such amazing fashion I’m fearful of how you can successfully rejuvenate the series. What stories do you tell after “happily ever after”?

I know the story left open the idea of more episodes but for me it kinda feels like being told you can spend another 5 years with your late grandfather.

Anyway I’m still gonna bloody well watch it. It’s Futurama.

One does not simply unjump the shark
