This is referring to after you know the person, already have their number, etc. You still text before every call.
- Comment on Hell nah brah 1 week ago:
I think it’s somewhat age gated. But I love it. A phone call or of nowhere means I need to drop everything and give you my full attention, and I have to make that decision within 20 seconds or it’s too late.
A text first gives me so many more options. Especially if I like to prepare, for example, stepping out of the crowded office. Or parking the car. (Which still works even if I don’t read texts until parked.)
- Comment on RIP (again) 1 week ago:
I think most any full time job in the US has bereavement leave.
It’s only the poorest of the poors that get absolutely fucked, as is tradition.
- Comment on Trump says Ukraine started the war that's killing its citizens. What are the facts? 1 week ago:
I believe the 4% approval rating. After all, it was from a fresh poll out of Russia.

“From many old people”, in case you were curious.
- Comment on nuked from orbit 1 week ago:
If Spez had given a Nazi salute and taken over the US government, I would have left.

Still means she’s on Twitter.
- Comment on Linux's Sole Wireless/WiFi Driver Maintainer Is Stepping Down - Phoronix 1 week ago:
Based on this article? Yeah, the downvotes are appropriate.
This article: Oh no, someone might have to step up and solve this problem in a year or two.
That guy: This is why I can’t use Linux now.

I’m on Boost, but should probably look at Voyager.

Don’t. Please don’t.

The US might be the biggest problem, but we’re not where this started.
- Comment on YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power. 3 weeks ago:
Name one?
- Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users. 3 weeks ago:
Oh no, there’s no money or profit motive here. I guess that’s terrible.
- Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users. 3 weeks ago:
Looks like there’s a viable alternative here.
- Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users. 3 weeks ago:
While I understand that, I’m in America. My first priority has to be getting people off of Twitter.
Would I prefer open source, non-profit software? 100%. It’s the smarter and better choice for so many reasons.
But if Bluesky is going to gain critical mass, I’m not going to fight it. I’m having a hard enough time getting people off Twitter. I’ve written the media address of environments I’m familiar with asking them to organize a move, and I mentioned both Bluesky and Mastodon.

And we should just accept that?

You have nothing to hide. Just sign away all your rights.

You want to know why we can’t have anything nice? This is why. The cynicism.
Even when the Dems do something good, you’ll make up a reason to hate it.
Meanwhile the Trump supporters are out there wearing diapers celebrating things he will never do. Build the wall, I guess.

Can’t load all those videos, unfortunately.

Try saying that labor conditions in China should be better.
- Comment on Day 1 Reddit Refugee 1 month ago:
Seems more or less accurate. Partly it’s that we’re all learning this together. Partly it’s that we have a variety of mods that are different for each major community. Partly I think it was an overreaction to legal obligations. Partly it’s that when you have a hammer (mod/admin tools), the tendency is to think that you should use them.
Not an excuse, of course. But people really easily love to criticize any kind of leadership with a broad brush without much willingness or understanding of how things should be led. You wouldn’t believe the number of people who say they “don’t have time” to moderate a community that likely takes less than five minutes of work a month.

That’s my default bookmark.
- Comment on Day 1 Reddit Refugee 1 month ago:
Well, it also means it’s easier to comment and post without getting immediately buried.

Yeah, that’s the one we don’t allow. You found it.
Do not encourage violence.

Got an English translation? No captions on that one.
- Comment on And because you deserve it, here's one from the top shelf 1 month ago:
I recommend trying to regulate it to the weekends at the very least. Maybe every other weekend, max.
Being high all the time makes everything seem horribly boring when you’re sober. It kind of just drains your experiences from your life.

You know, I would pick instances that aren’t federated with hexbear or Lemmygrad.
