A) of fucking course
B) always important to say
- Comment on Study finds young people more likely to spend Christmas alone 6 days ago:
Why bother with the hassle? If it’s close and fun then fine, but if it’s far and expensive and the people aren’t fun, why go that far out of your way not to have a good time?
- Comment on YouTube ads have ruined the good, old-fashioned Rick Roll. 5 weeks ago:
You aren’t doing youtube correctly.
PC: firefox + ublock origin, freetube
Mobile: revanced, newpipe
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 1 month ago:
This of the core of the problem. Github energy.
Fine for a hobby. Not good enough for a public-facing product.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 1 month ago:
It’s owned by facebook, it’s irrelevant.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 1 month ago:
It will, but it still has that countdown timer over its head.
The future is the fediverse, some yet-to-be-invented non-corporate equivalent, or offline.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 1 month ago:
The actual center, which never moves even as extremists come and go, would be a little to the right of Elizabeth Warren, though not by much.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 1 month ago:
If the internet has a future, it’s on the Fediverse. We work around capitalism to avoid enshittification, or we let it defer our future further.
In the meantime, the Fediverse needs to get shiny and intuitive. The sign that something is cumbersome and hard to use is people saying “it’s not that bad”.
- Comment on There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation 1 month ago:
This is dumb.
- Comment on There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation 1 month ago:
It’s not benign. Long covid can be and often is permanent. You get that shit, and everything you care about in your life is now a distant second place.
What you’re calling “benign” is everybody consciously choosing to ignore it, and act like anyone smart enough not to is somehow weird and wrong.
- Comment on There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation 1 month ago:
Some lost their ability to regulate from everybody else being critically stupid, some see everybody still being dumb about it and aren’t gonna play such a transparently stupid game. Some got long covid, the worst outcome of all, the thing you wear a mask to stop.
Multiple causes.
- Comment on USA President term limits 1 month ago:
He gets two terms, whether they’re split up or not. This is his last term by law.
He’s probably just going to stay anyway, because Republicans have managed to infect government with the kinds of losers who would back something like that.
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 1 month ago:
Morrowind is great and people should definitely play it, but god damn will it not meet the need of feeling badass. It makes you feel like a wooden chess piece and you just get used to it.
Those spells area very cool, though.

It’s amazing how much better this game looks than a bunch of games that came out years after it.

Nooo they’re so cool. I could watch them all day.

We can do this.

I like the sound of that.

Insect + big + magic as caulking for the highest-level plot holes, then let the geopolitics trickle down.
Bam. World created.
- Comment on Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement. 1 month ago:
They want me to wear that shit, their asses can pay me a monthly subscription.
And then still no lol.

Little fuckin ass bitch?
I hope I nailed it 🙏
- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 1 month ago:
It’s still twitter now and always will be so it doesn’t matter.
- Comment on Stop whining. Do it yourself. 1 month ago:
This probably has a much higher accuracy rate.

No fuckin chance a dog has 25% of the bite force of a lion.

- Comment on A conservative community on Lemmy? Now that takes some true bravery 1 month ago:
Maybe.
Conservative has come to mean American republican which has come to mean maga which is rebranded nazis.
It may be semantics if there’s really any difference between any of them at this point. What’s obviously inexcusable is giving trump loving nazi cunts a voice about anything anywhere. Nazis get nothing.
If they wanna Liz Cheney it up and stonewall the fuck out of that whole cancer while still keeping some of the old terminology, I’ll be happy to see where that goes.
- Comment on Is lemmy really any different from reddit? 1 month ago:
As long as you’re not in one of the famously shitty places like lemmygrad, it’s pretty politically normal. So, extreme extreme extreme left by American standards. Like “we shouldn’t actively fuck our citizenry in the ass and maybe even help them” levels of left 😱
But do keep away from lemmygrad and whatever the other shitty ones are.
- Comment on Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse 1 month ago:
All the others will get bought out and enshittified. The future is not there.
The Fediverse has the potential to be the future. It’s gated behind open sourceheads not being all…open-sourcey about. Making it clunky to use and badly designed and then pulling the establishment economist “you poor schlub you’re just too dumb to get it” card, thereby shooting their own efforts in the foot.
If they can make it open source AND easy to use/intuitive/well designed, then we have a solid future. If not, the future still won’t be those other places.
- Comment on What are some powerful open source projects everyone should know? 1 month ago:
No it isn’t.
Also, it obviously isn’t.
