@sarah I'm not in a headspace where i can contribute to side projects at the moment, but I do think a CoC would be great. I saw how things went last time around & was not pleased with how some folks reacted to the idea, so I want to speak up and offer a clear thumbs up this time. :)
I briefly looked at AWS S3 Glacier storage, thinking maybe having a second cloud host for my backups would be good.
I can't actually figure out how much this will cost me because they charge per operation (you know, like PUT, GET, etc.) in addition to the storage costs (which I easily figured out).
Remember a few weeks ago when some clown shoes lawyers tried a bogus copyright takedown of merch saying "Fuck the LAPD" on behalf of the LAPD, and the initial legal response was "LOL, no"? Well the longer response is out, and it is a work of art. They managed to use the phrase "Fuck the LAPD" 15 times in 4 pages. Make sure to check the footnotes, too. A work of pure savagery, with citations. https://bsky.app/profile/cola.baby/post/3ksffq2k5kb22
@KatM There's no bad debate outcome for trump (because his cult followers don't care if he lies or falters or makes zero sense), but many possible bad outcomes for biden.
I assume that people who use @here every time they say something in Slack also clap their hands to get the attention of everyone in the room before they say something in person. They must be fun at parties.
Fascinating piece of US culture: if you have an American flag sticker, t-shirt, hat, etc you are almost certainly a huge asshole. And there are even special variations of the flag (eg thin blue line) to let people know specifically what kind of asshole you are
@danirabbit for almost my whole life, until just a few years ago, this did not seem to be the case in Canada. The flag was a global symbol of kindness and understanding.
And then a bunch of shitstains ruined it.
(Although, being that the whole country is founded on colonialism, the "global symbol of kindness and understanding" bit was also mostly a lie.)
Basically, any forum that destroys itself by using Discourse instead of phpBB is dead as far as being a proper forum goes. Bulletin Boards DO NOT need to be more like other social media shit. They NEED to be their own thing.
