It is similar to Bluesky, yes. They both got a lot of inspiration from Twitter (before Musk turned it to shit/X).

And I would say that the discussions are more shallow than on Lemmy. Even though Mastodon has a higher character limit than Twitter and many Mastodon instances effectively remove the character limit, it’s still fundamentally a platform for shortform interactions. Infodumping is rarely seen, because you need to create a silly number of chained messages.

On the flipside, though, you get to know people. I do appreciate the time I spent on Mastodon, because of that. It’s a very different perspective as not everything is about discussing cold hard facts, but rather also people’s hobbies and struggles and whatnot.

I find ants and bees and such interesting in this regard. They work together more seamlessly than humans do and arguably have a higher form of sociality.

Especially in Western cultures, we humans like to think of the individual and compare ourselves to the individual of other species. But that is a logical fallacy.
Are you smarter than an ant? Sure. But are you smarter than a human-sized ant hive? That’s a far trickier question to answer…

Yeah, I don’t like when corporations put stuff like that into their ToS, but at the same time, I 100% understand why every open-source license under the sun has it. You’re giving it away for free, so you don’t want people to sue for more than you’re providing for free.

Mastodon.social is currently very much in the latter camp of giving things away for free. I also understand that a service is yet another beast than a piece of software, since they hold your personal data and may leak/sell it. But yeah, at this point in time, I wouldn’t want someone to be able to sue Mastodon.social out of existence. I guess, it depends a lot on how it’s formulated in the end…

Yeah, the wording is confusing. A long time ago, there was no paid software, there was only software where you got the source code and other software where e.g. it was pre-installed on some hardware and the manufacturer didn’t want to give the source code.

In that time, a whole movement started fighting for software freedom, so they called their software “free”.

I like the cello a lot.

El Camino Real by Alfred Reed has a nice oboe solo.

If they couldn’t find/trust additional admins, I don’t see how they could’ve handed it off entirely…

Especially, if you’re allergic.

In this kind of job, I’d guess they hope for someone who’s done VFX work on Linux before, but if you know about cd and ls, you probably already fulfill their expectations.

If you didn’t have any experience, that likely wouldn’t be a deal breaker, it would just be one more thing where they need to get you up to speed.
Well, and if you were a Linux crack, able to support others in your team and dish out scripts for automating menial tasks, that would be a bonus.

But yeah, you having even used Linux before probably makes you one of their, if not the, most qualified applicant in this regard, so I really wouldn’t worry about it.

To be honest, I have no idea. I’m not a Roman numerals/date crack myself. The tattoo definitely wouldn’t have been faithful in that regard, but it’s also not like they intended to be accurate down to that level…

I mean, there’s definitely gonna be worse out there, but I once saw a tattoo on an online post, of presumably their date of birth in roman numerals.
Problem is, there was only one “M”, so it looked something like: IV/X/MCXCIV

But I figured, alright, let’s not assume things, maybe they’re a history buff and something cool happened on that day in 1194.
But if I remember correctly, I found some list of all Wikipedia articles for specific dates and that day did not have an article, because nothing noteworthy had happened.

So, yeah, I guess we do have to assume that they are in fact a vampire.

As I understand, it’s a legal food term in the US. Can’t write it onto your food there, unless you fulfill certain requirements in how it’s produced.

Nothing more boring than a perfect rhyme…

It doesn’t, no. If you do it the way I described, you can’t actually get the nozzle at an angle where you could target your balls or legs. It’s not as low down as the beam from the built-in bidets.

On the first few attempts, you’ll probably hit your cheeks more than you’d like, but that just rolls down the cheek until it hangs vertically and then it drops. I’m still seated when I do this, so my legs are more-or-less horizontal.
And well, with a tiny bit of practice, you hit the in-between every time, where the water is stopped pretty effectively and then it drops in the same place where you dropped the nuke.

I can understand the concern, as I had the same when I first tried it, but yeah, after the first few days of learning, I never splooshed the floor or my legs or my balls. I think, I splooshed my cheeks maybe once or twice when I was really sleepy, but that’s about it.

Hmm, personally I’m using a $20 manually operated travel bidet and my butthole feels like freshly showered.

I guess, the advantage of it being manually operated is that I can decide the water pressure by how strongly I squeeze the bottle.
Another advantage is that I have a firm handshake now. 🙃

Personally, I lean forward and to the left, so that my cheeks spread, and then I take the nozzle into my right hand and hold it as if I was scratching my ass.
Afterwards, I fold two sheets of toilet paper and dry myself off at the surface.

Opposite of neurospicy. 🙃

Oh yeah, that for sure.
