Cap in the back, low-key up front. Got it.

I’ve never wanted to kill a fox before but at least I’ll have a nice orange hat with a tail now.

This makes Debian look kinda good actually…

thank you. i was pinched for time and distracted so i couldn’t really figure out why it wasn’t embedding.

Chat, j’ai pété

it’s literally too expensive to eat lately.

“never ever be biased except in these subjects we want you to be biased about, and always be controversial except about these specific concepts about which we demand you represent our opinion and no others”

These fucking chuds don’t deserve oxygen.

I’ve been having an excellent experience with premium as well. I like knowing that I’m directly materially contributing to the people I watch. The only problem I have with YouTube premium lately is that it keeps trying to suggest fucking 8 hours long music streams to my TV and seems as though it’s REFUSING to learn that I don’t want to see that shit unless I’m deliberately searching for it. Get that shit the FUCK outta my feed. Otherwise, it’s the way YouTube was meant to be used.

If I had my way though, I’d nuke YouTube’s ad system from orbit and replace it with this: for ads, NO VIDEO, NO SOUND, ONLY A SLIDE SHOW, CONTAINING ONLY TEXT. 15 Slides or 15 Seconds, MAXIMUM, whichever runs out first. If the user clicks anywhere but the product link, it advances the slide or closes the ad. PERIOD.

i’m not so sure it was even my local feed that got me feeling like i belonged, really; more that I started reflexively defaulting to the federated feed and found it to be much more lively. Perhaps it was actually the changes brought on by time. Perhaps it was because twitter is rotting like a forgotten corpse in a warm, damp room and all the smart people who actually give a shit finally all started to say “fuck this” and enough of a critical mass has finally accumulated in federated services for them to affect its overall feel. I definitely see content from technically minded, creative, motivated people more on mastodon than i EVER did on twitter, but especially now. Twitter now is just … sad, and it reminds me that I have a better place that I’d enjoy visiting more.

i started reading your reply in the voice of Dracula from the intro to Symphony of the Night XD

“WHAT is REDDIT 🍷💫💥 but a MISERABLE pile of SHITPOSTS!”

The 'net ill-needs a failure such as him.

His terms of service are as empty as his revenues!

all this to say, yeah fam 100% totally agree

mastodon finally clicked for me and i don’t miss twitter at all. sometimes i accidentally load twitter out of force of habit, but immediately recognize how much it sucks now and close it again. Likewise, reddit’s dead to me too now. i’m finally starting to feel like decentralized federated social media systems might actually work out.

oh hey it’s the return of the Trillian / Pidgin app morphology.

wow, you gave it a nervous breakdown XD

Company that has fired and blacklisted every available laborer: “NoBoDy wAnTs tO wOrK aNyMoRe!!!111!1one!!11!!!”

My brain is too mushy to do it myself right now, but I wonder what the result would be if we were to consider the alphabet a base-26 number system and added the numbers that correspond to those letters.

actually, fuck it lets go

me (13),(5)

you (25),(15),(20)

5 + 20 = 25 (y)

13 + 15 = 28 (carry)
28 - 26 = 2 (b)

25 + (carried) 1 = 26 (z)

you + me = zby.

I’m struggling to do it too man ;_; I don’t want to let go… I want reddit to come to its senses. After all the shit we’ve been through in the past 4 years, this is like a swift kick right in the ribs while we were already curled up on the ground in agony.

I don’t know how to accept this “reality”…

I’m using wefwef now, coming off of using Reddit Sync, and it’s delightfully intuitive. I’m super bummed about reddit imploding, but hey, at least we have a new place.

It’s like how every time there’s a group chat, it spontaneously spawns a new, smaller group chat “without the annoying people”.
