I saw a response talking about mastodon.lol and the Hogwarts Legacy controversy that made the owner close down and the meltdown.. I do forget how messy the Fediverse is sometime
Not linking directly because I don't want to shit on projects I believe are genuinely trying to make the web better, but every time I see a post about "the small web" or a more "humane" web or whatever that includes phrases like this about content: "created without the motivation of financial gain" I sigh so deeply lol
I am begging ethical web enthusiasts to understand what an extreme privilege it is to spend time working on something without worrying about money
@sue It's gives off the same energy as FediBros getting bitchy when an small artist/indie-dev are promoting their game. I get disliking ads that track everybody and some the ads in question are scams but to get annoyed at someone sharing their work hoping that someone would buy it so they can make money to live is crazy.
Joe Biden could still turn this around and not lose to Trump by defunding Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. If he doesn’t, there will be only person to blame for Joe Biden losing to Trump in six months and that’s Joe “I am a Zionist” Biden.
Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:
Ngl, I miss the werid reaction clips in the reply and the few of them do caught me off gaude. It's just funny seeing OP being so smug and get roasted in the reply of something that has no nuance to reason them and is ether an flatout terrible take or is really bigoted.
I'm not saying "bring back bullying to the Fediverse" but sometime it feels little too serious and people have the "I'm so smart, you're not" smugness and trying to be civil isn't going make difference with those gits. Some people are just arrogant, they don't care to listen on your side and sometime just making fun of their smugness is funny.
I every now again will see people on Fedi encouraging others to spread the word of alterative of various services/software/social media etc. In general, how do you even try to approach it to most people who are an average Joe? (not interested about what they would see as a DIY aspect of tech such as Linux and self-hosting)
I asked as lot of stuff I hear of the pros or what it is about, most average Joe won't get and dismissed it with it sound more like a tech demo or just an clone of an existing service. Ideally, I want to use less of Discord which only reason I'm on it is the niche community I'm in which is difficult to try to rebuild it to another place.
Please don't make this an "normies = bad" circle-jerk, I want some advice and discussion.
@RickiTarr You saying it like it still doesn't happen today, I swear some the pop music just lazily relie on rappers to make an verse to just get their song to chart
Linux folks: If your response to the XZ backdoor is to joke or even contextualise along the lines of "Yes, but Windows/Mac are worse..." take a moment to think about how you'd respond to an individual taking responsibility by insulting others to make themselves look better.
@penguingeek I sometime hear that "Linux doesn't have malware" and stuff like that. That does give an impression it's "100% perfect" which doesn't help with amount of circlejerking in the Linux space where SOME users would try brush the issue under the rug. Not saying every single one but definitely enough where it causes problem and come across as dishonest in my book.
Yes, it's much more secure than Windows by a miles away. The issue is the constant circlejerking which leads to few misinfomation and make it difficult to actually fix whatever issue is going on with Linux.
Letting a paedophile babysit your children makes about as much sense as letting Meta federate with the Fediverse. Oh, they're charming and seem sincere? That's makes it all better, then. Sorry I fretted.
Meta are provably Evil, a place where evils of all degrees throng like flies around shit. If Gargron et al won't reconsider or even adhere to their own guidelines about problematic servers, then their servers should also be cast out to live among the Truth.socials, because they're effectively saying they don't give a steaming pile about what the Fediverse stands for or the users therein.
I have no problem with Taylor Swift or the people who enjoy her music, I even enjoy some of her songs, but wow, I know way more about her than I've ever planned to, especially since I've never purposely looked her up, it's just kind of everywhere and unavoidable.
@selzero I'm Gen-Z but The Power of Love. Just reminds me of that scene in Back Of The Future where Marty.. I mean Dark Vader threaten to boil Marty's dad brain if he doesn't ask mum out to the prom
