I wonder if Lemmy will be any more Normal about dogs than snoosite was

Update: prognosis is not looking good

Man this takes me back

If I remember correctly there was an effort to make a whole video game from the brass-wind warrior memes this originates from. Did anything ever come from that?

Reality really is beyond satire.

Well this is Interesting.

Video storage and bandwidth is probably my most pressing concern, but that’s the same as with peertube, no?

Speaking of which, are they going to consult with PeerTube for cross compatibility?

That can’t weigh well on Ukrainian forces fighting in occupied territories.

That’s monumental progress, but of course there’s still work to be done.

Here’s to all the legal big fat gay Greek weddings 🥳🏳️‍🌈

There’s wage slavery, there’s debtor’s prison, there’s sharecropping, and then there’s chattel slavery.

When ‘slavery’ is brought up in American politics we almost exclusively mean the latter.

Absolute clown 🤡

We need to shut down the stand up venues until we figure what the fuck is going on

Yeah, that second part is concerning.

I like that acronym you made of authlefts.

On Twitch?

Why???

On the low end, yearly OS upgrade compliance.

On the high end, dealing with the Kafkaesque whims of the App and Play stores randomly deciding to nuke your app (and thus business) from orbit as an “oopsie”

Clearly you haven’t dealt with a Mastodon instance having a major defederation event.

For most users, regardless of the validity of the defed, the user experience is terrible. Their social graph just suddenly, stops working, the people they follow can no longer see their posts, all because of the actions of a few bad actors or administration failures.

This paired with the fact that maybe only Firefish or Misskey lets you (mostly) seamlessly migrate to a new instance with your data intact, and the lack of a standard way to see what followers you will actually keep when you migrate, means that the defederation experience is sucks, and migrating to a different instance to escape that is a pain in the ass.

Meta has already shown it has piss poor moderation in the best of times, and actively boosts incendiary content in the worst of times, all while collecting, profiling, and exploiting your data. It’s literally inevitable that they’re going to break the rules of all but the free-est of free speech Instances, so for the privacy, safety, and headaches of everyone in the fediverse, we might as well save ourselves the trouble.**

That you apparently have the privilege to not be affected by the consequences of a Republican government doesn’t invalidate the choices of those who would be, and voted accordingly.

We are all complicit in the same way we are all complicit for the war crimes committed by America in the Middle East: most of us did not have a choice in the matter whatsoever. All we can do is demand them to stop.

I’m not going to judge someone whose choices are “genocide” and “genocide even more, and even more local genocide” and picks the former.
