- Comment on How would you answer the "ecological" question on self hosting and federated networks ? 14 hours ago:
the centralised big websites all seem intent on shoving gen ai into everything, which is far worse for the environment & climate than using smaller self-hosted networks that don’t use gen ai.
things could be re-assessed & done differently post-capitalism, but we’ve got to get to that stage first!
- Comment on What a nice blue and black dress. 5 days ago:
the original photo was much more faded than the one posted here, so people’s colour perception depended on how yellow/blue they perceived the photo’s light to be tinted, and how bright/dark their screens were.
- Comment on Is *arr stack a real Netflix replacement? 1 week ago:
i can use the searchbar on jellyfin & if it’s not already there, i can request it using jellyseer within that same search bar, so it’s possible to integrate the two somehow.
i’m afraid i’m not sure of the specifics though, i’m only using a friend’s jellyfin 🫣

hup solarpunk! 🙌 these look super cool, fair play!
- Comment on now aren't you glad we bought all that RAM? 5 weeks ago:
you can always do that using your imagination, which as a handy little bonus, won’t make it any more difficult for you to eat food, drink water, and breathe air in future 🫠

intrusive thoughts are about fears and the things we least want to happen, not from any instincts or hidden/suppressed desires that we have. that’s why they’re so upsetting and sometimes end up getting worse when trying to avoid them, because it ends up fuelling that fear.
sometimes intrusive thoughts are caused by the smallest things, too! i once had a minor accident with a knife, and then couldn’t be around knives for years without having intrusive thoughts about stabbing myself, for example. there’s no ancient instinct telling me to stab myself, nor did i have some secret suppressed desire to stab myself, it was just my brain processing fear badly and coming up with nightmare scenarios as a way of saying “don’t do this, this would be bad”.
tl;dr: you’re not a bad person if you have intrusive thoughts, no matter what they are. they’re just examples of what you don’t want to happen.

idk, i’m vegan and i think it’d be perfectly ethical to eat centi-billionaires 🤷
- Comment on How to create multiple images for the same character 3 months ago:
use photo editing software to copy & paste the character onto whatever backgrounds you want.
shitposts made with ai are generally downvoted into oblivion, btw. meanwhile, people appreciate the effort of diy shitposts. with human-made artisanal shitposts, the time & effort taken to make them is visible! 😚👌
- Comment on Israeli MP demands Palestinians be killed if they burn rubbish 3 months ago:
`“The simplest thing is to send an F-16 to put out the fire,” Kreuzer added.
All three justified the idea of summary killings on the grounds that burning waste “constitutes terrorism”.`
According to Israel, dropping 2000lb “bunker busters” on people in tents isn’t terrorism, but people burning rubbish in order to cook food & generate heat is.
- Comment on Jesse wtf are you talking about 4 months ago:
that’s the film logo from this year, saying “he mr gay”
the stars on the title of the 2007 game “super mario galaxy” are what spell out “u r mr gay” / “you are mr gay”
then the stars on the title of the sequel game in 2010, “super mario galaxy 2” spell out “u r m i a y”, which spelled backwards supposedly says “ya i m, r u?” / “yeah i am, are you?”
so idk, i think he might in fact be mr gay. we might need a film sequel to be sure, though.
- Comment on They're calling again. 4 months ago:
the vowels are different etc, but the tweet sets it up like it’s supposed to sound a li’l bit like “tossed salad and scrambled eggs”, which is part of the frasier theme tune.

quetzalcoatlus northropi!
