“jarred look” lol

Why would it be an n-turn? The n shape suggests you back up before turning. The capital U asserts that you simply turn. That’s how I’ve always done it.

Whoa, I didnt know that guy was involved with reddit. He’s the anti-spez.

Are Swartz and Ohanian still around? Are they all trying to cash in?

I can understand wanting to get retirement money out of your long-term project, but we’re not obliged to stick around and assist in the degradation of a once-great platform.

Today in Montreal it was beautiful and blue and fresh. I hope it stays that way. I want to keep my lungs and our forests.

Did spez create reddit or did they just hire him?

It depends. If they can still be funny then go for it.

They were hilarious.

Man this defediverse stuff gets tiring

I think they’re supposed to be lemmies, not rats

“These days people spend thousands of dollars to visit the sun-kissed islands of the Caribbean. But in the 1700s you could go there for free, if you were black and you didn’t want to go there.”

So are they going to hire people to mod all those subs?

I second this. I love the openness of the fediverse but I want robust tools to help me navigate it, including the ability to block.

Okay. I keep reading about docker. What’s the difference between a docker and just installing an app on rented server space?

Does each dock (?) have its own server? (Apache or nginx or whatever?)

Does each dock host a whole site, or do you have a dock for your database and a dock for your web app?

I use Podcast Addict on Android (both phone and tablet) and it’s excellent. I’m using the paid version so it’s ad-free. It has a good set of widgets too. Five stars.

I used to use Podkicker Pro, but the paid version started showing ads. So I switched to Podcast Addict Pro and it’s excellent.

Yeah they’re not perfectly synchronized but I can interact across platforms and instances.

How would it benefit BigSocial to spread us out among instances?

No, we shouldn’t just passively observe the experiment either fail or succeed by its own pre-existing state. We should actively engineer our behavior and connections to avoid the slimey tentacles of corporate manipulation.

And that’s why we need to constantly remind ourselves to spread out while staying connected (the precise function of federation)
