I gotta spoon . . ?

When I first signed up - when reddit did the API thing - I was also shocked how empty it felt here. And it is, but when I adjusted I came to prefer that. There’s fewer commenters but also less bullshit. I spend less of my linked screen time doomscrolling and more on other stuff, like reading and gaming.

Mobile users can be pointed towards alternative clients. Makes the whole thing much more manageable and familiar. I use sync (which no longer seems to be being updated) but there are others. Don’t know if there’s a desktop equivalent but that might help with UX problems.

Also, re onboarding - many Lemmites might be astonished to realise how many non technical ppl don’t know what a server is and are intimidated by the term. Maybe just say something like ‘Click on the place nearest to you or that you like the sound of’. I dunno, a metaphor. Like, your computer is a toilet, the fediverse is the ocean. When you take a crap and flush, your turd goes to the local sewage facility where it parties with all the other turds before being dumped into the sea.

There’s probably a better metaphor, but, y’know.

I bet the bastards have already wondered

"Hmm, if this works maybe we can do all life on earth next . . ?
“We’ll make all the money!”

Didn’t realise you could do it locally, just checked online and there’s several options. So why are these fuckers building huge, resource-greedy data centres. . ?

Oh I forgot about the windows phone os, the one with the tiles. Yeah that was pretty decent, shame it didn’t get the support it needed.

And a pay rise! And a rimjob from my department manager!

In a few years there will be shit loads of irrelevant AI crap that no-one will be able to use because they can’t buy devices. These AI companies seem like a predator that goes extinct because it has eaten all its potential prey.

I mean, financially, yeah I think so. Which is ironic, since as a person he’s worth about as much as a large turd in a small bag.

My tech knowledge is not at all current, recently got sick of windows BS and installed linux mint on my laptop. The whole process was really easy, didn’t have to use command prompt at all or understand any arcane technical terms. It was actually easier and more accessible than windows.

Was this the thing with legless avatars from the uncanny valley? No idea how they wasted so much money - they’d have done better to employ a good gaming studio to make something fun that looked good. Could have saved billions there.

Not just a wanker, also a pea-brained gibbering dicksplat.

Yeah, steam determines that someone is an adult if they have a credit card on their account. This seems like a simple and effective method. Although I do still sometimes have an ‘Are you over 18?’ query, maybe that’s from individual games.

I’m not downvoting you, but this doesn’t explain why you get extreme physical withdrawals from heroin and not from porn.

Yep seems likely Jesus was a real historical figure. Possibly an anti capitalist activist who got executed, and after his death the mythology started to spring up.

As someone who dealt for way too many years with a heroin addiction, I keep reading things like this and wanting to say stuff like ‘porn addiction isn’t a real addiction.’ But TBF I’ve never had a porn addiction and don’t know what it’s like, so I can’t say that. But there are undeniable differences.

Isn’t this kind of like suing blockbuster over music in the films they rent? Seems a bit daft, but there must be a reason they think it might succeed.

The LLM just told me to come round to your house and crap in your begonias. You might want to avoid looking out the window until I’m done.

Unless it’s digital.
