Love that.

If a Man cannot tear a page

so true 😔

pretty much

I basically only go there when DDG hasn’t indexed the Stack Exchange/Overflow Q&A I’m looking for.

Also decentralized SE/SO when?

Heh, cool.

Yeah I’ve seen this happen in real time. Maybe a little slower, but still inexorably.

Can’t believe no one’s said spritz of lemon juice yet. That was my go to as a kid.

Yeah I like to come for air like every few years or so

keep…going

This makes me uncomfortable.

What’s wrong with Discourse? I ran a server during college for a couple of buddies and it was totally owned and operated by us, no corpos or anything. It’s just like phpbb or any other forum software AFAIK.

Proof the system works right here.

I can understand this perspective: wanting to spread the gospel of federation, etc.

But I’m starting to come around to the realization that the growth mindset is rotten. It’s what leads to these big centralized/unified platforms that concede on their core in order to reach a wider audience.

I can’t blame corpos for conceding away all identity, because engagement is how they make money, but what’s our excuse?

These aren’t refugees. They’re free to make a lemmy or masto or whatever account any time they want. We don’t have a problem with most of the people. It’s the platform, and all the fucking out and proud racists who are on it.

My grandma who owned a diner used to say the same thing, but about cops

Well it was

Certainly people must ask for “pints” though and if the server brings them a drink, I would take that as confirmation that they are tacitly serving pints.

can also confirm that Guinness makes an awful Android launcher, like trust me don’t even try it

Oh nice so you can flip about a bit to find the perfect spot - so handy!

it’s easy to listen to an audiobook at the same time

This blows my mind and shows what a different experience this must be, compared to what I was imagining. I suppose you’ve been reading sheet music for a long time now? Almost like a second “language.” Do you enjoy reading sheet music?

what really??
