Yeah, that’s a possibility. However, as some Mastodon folks said recently, no platform is forever. Signal’s prospects seem reasonable to me, right now. If they co corporate and enshittify next week, I won’t feel my time and investment with them was a waste, nor my financial support (which hasn’t been much, tbh).
ha. That site is fun. I’m also clueless about some of it. Do you know what the “Come and find it” shirt references? I have a couple of guesses, but I really don’t know.
This is some good info about Matrix, thanks. I’ve been considering it as a Discord alternative.
This comment right here is going to make somebody $50. From me.
The lack of a Scottish American heritage month is a serious injustice.
The tories can go cry in a corner, though. Fucking white house burners.
(OK, mostly being a dick for lols, but honestly don’t feel bad that the former colonial power we rebelled against to even have a nation doesn’t have a special holiday)
1080p less than content?
Even Muad’Dib started out small.
Of course you’re an engineer. I could tell you didn’t have to take gen ed courses from the punctuation mistake.
Professor here: do this all you want. It’s not a page requirement, it’s a word requirement. And it’s a maximum, not a minimum. You have some tasks to accomplish in 1,000 words or less. Anything more than 1,000 words gets deleted or (if in hardcopy) crossed out/torn off and thrown away. I grade what’s left.
You’re doing the dangerous thing: identifying fascism where Americans have been taught it’s clearly not possible because it’s “our team.”
You’re right, of course.
Privacy mushroom?
Works in XFCE, too (well, Thunar/XFCE, anyway)
You win the “most mind-numbingly predictable reply all day” award. Congrats.
Yeah, people who grew up with boomers as parents, teachers, bosses, weird aunts, etc. Find the ultra- reductiveness to be very silly. The labeling of the entire post war generation as incompetent neocons has never fit well except in the minds of people whose only knowledge of history comes from tiktok. Where do they think their anti- establishment ideas came from? Do they think the hippies and civil rights activists were millennials or something?
One of my favorite time travel versions in SF is that of Connie Willis: When you try to travel back in time, if you would have changed the timeline by any noticeable amount, you either (a) just don’t go–the machine doesn’t work–or (b) you go, but the timeline adjusts by like dropping you in Siberia 20,000 BCE or the center of the Pacific or something. Either way, the timeline is what it is, and you can go observe, if you’re very careful not to change anything. Your time travel is part of the timeline, and obviously it didn’t change anything significant because here we are…
Ohy god it took me a full minute to realize that I wasn’t looking at three stylized vaginas.
To be fair, I have seen several neolithic Venus figurines lately.
