“I prefer a distribution which is supported by game publishers.” feels like it sets bad expectations considering it’s just “do you want a stable Debian/Ubuntu distro?” and ‘game publishers’ might be a little out of date with their wording/justification
They’re not really backing their claim up though in regards to “related to admins” and “admins are deleting other people’s warnings”.
And as far as I know the torrent has been pulled even.
We’re definitely nowhere near “fuck it” levels, as the article says, we sure can make things a lot more awful if we decide now that we can’t do anything about it anyway.
But maybe we need a stronger example than… Bike lanes… Though I get the point he’s making.

I’m no expert, but I found this blogpost insightful: BlueSky is cosplaying decentralization
The more I read about BS’s protocol, the more I think this is done on purpose.
Why? Because it allows BS to pay lip service to decentralization, without actually giving away the power in the system.
[…]
Another pretty good sign that BS’s decentralization is actually b.s. is the fact that the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) used by BlueSky are currently “temporarily” not actually decentralized. The protocol uses something imaginatively called “DID Placeholder”. If I were a betting man I would bet that in five years it will keep on using the centralized DID Placeholder, and that that will be a root cause of a lot of shenanigans.
[…]
it decentralizes the cost to the central authority by pushing data load onto volunteers, while planning to keep control by being the biggest kid on the “reach” block.
I’m kinda pissy cause the guy never even responded to being made aware of data like this and that
(i feel confident that he saw my comment cause he replied directly at my first one in the thread)
he really said nah, didnt elaborate and hit us with Matt Taibbi
e: y’all mad but now I’m the only one to archive it, for the record, he linked to this saying that it’s conclusively proven to be a lab leak, specifically saying “Nah,” to OP’s link without elaborating how one was more valid than the other or anything
really said nah and hit us with Matt Taibbi lmao
Now you know how linux users feel
Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don’t see mentioned yet
‘Multi Account Containers’ + ‘Container Tabs Sidebar’ + ‘Switch Container’ + ‘Temporary Containers’ + ‘don’t care about cookies’ ‘Consent-o-matic’
basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don’t have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bit in order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies. at this point mostly because I don’t like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instance
ff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup
Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc
Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)

I specifically highlighted the spending effort on spez-hating
i’ll admit, it would probably be healthier if you guys could move on now
like sure, keep posting about reddit stuff for the next month, there’s probably relevant stuff to talk about, but there’s no reason to obsess over spez this bad
as a sidenote, really hate how you need to tie either a google or facebook account to make a definition on this site
I’m sorry for the level of discourse I’m about to engage in, but Zuckerberg knows Jiujitsu, I think if Musk had any actual training in any skillful way of fighting we would’ve seen it - the dude probably knows Zuckerberg knows jiujitsu, maybe he was just hoping that he would ignore the challenge? lmao
[Musk] has talked about being in “real hard-core street fights"
dude’s gonna break his back if he doesnt back out last minute
well that sucks
Patlabor, specifically “Patlabor ON TELEVISION” and “Patlabor New Files” (sometimes called New OVA) are takes place in a very comfy near-future environment and is about a group of policemembers who are under the division for dealing with any mech incidents, meaning giant robot fights will happen in a very down-to-earth setting
I also recommend the movies if you enjoy the GITS movie as it’s the same director and he likes exploring a various amount of social commentary, from criticism of institutional inefficiency to existential reflections, (just dont watch the 3rd movie, it has nothing to do with anyone who made the original Patlabor)
There’s also the original Patlabor OVA, but I personally didn’t enjoy that nearly as much as the tv anime, and some of the characters act a little different, so it might be jarring if you watch that before the tv anime despite it being chronologically made first
if it’s mandatory to make an instagram account still, there’s literally no point to use it over instagram
