No, propaganda would convince them standing together is ‘woke’.

Also bots would insta-win any auctions by outbidding any human beings.

they’re the same picture.

Gay nerds.

I vanted orranje. Zey gave me lemon-lime :(

What do those acronyms mean

Google didn’t help

Ah yes. The great tyranny of checks notes digital payment processing

You know, we already have this in Brazil. The countryside has not, in fact, been burninated. In fact, last I checked we’d been schooling the first worlders on how to actually handle fascists.

Oh and we never had to bend the knee to MasterCard’s forced purity rules because our digital payment system isn’t privatised unlike yall’s.

You need to lay off the shrooms, mate. They’re fucking with your mind.

Cats will kill and eat anything that doesn’t kill and eat them first. Which is why environmentally conscious cat owners keep them indoors where their damage to other specieses is reduced.

Though some frogs are poisonous and might be bad for them.

I know I’m very late to the party and any comment in a thread with 200+ posts is like yelling at the void.

BUT

My experience with Windows has hardly been “it just works”. In fact it has been a history of decades of tinkering and messing around with it to try and get it to do what I want.

The only difference is that Windows obscures everything, so when something breaks it does so quietly. Meaning you might not notice… Or. More likely. It’ll just crash out and you don’t even have an error code to google.

This isn’t to say that Linux isn’t a balancing act of constant maintenance. It is. Just… The Windows experience was never “better” for me from that angle. And… On some level, I enjoy all the tinkering. I think all Linux folks do.

This varies from ace to ace. With me?

I am not repulsed but I am violently disinterested

A partner wants to fuck? Sure, I guess? If it makes them happy and I like them. But like. I’ll never go out of my way to try and get sex.

Sex

Turns out I’m asexual.

The spicy part is try being asexual yet HOPELESSLY romantic

But aside from THAT – Brand name clothing.

Most of it doesn’t even look good

There was a time the rich dressed decadently, that was conspicuous consumption, but at least it looked pretty and shiny in pictures. Nowadays rich people be buying clothes that look exactly, completely indistinguishable from the discount shop made-in-china artificial-fabric rags everyone else is wearing, but which have a logo printed on them. And that logo is what makes it expensive.

I’m more curious which is Stallman’s poison of choice

Mr. Beast

Twitter

I never used twitter, but even before Musk took over it was ALWAYS a fundamentally negative force. Whenever its name was cited it was some shit. People fighting and wishing each other dead.

Other social media all has that, but Twitter seems to be ONLY that

The “Shut the Fuck Up Gringo” whale.

I have a better one:

About all politics. No exceptions.

Signed: Brazilian.

In terms of technology? Sure. There’s projects that are considered “Fediverse” and don’t use ActivityPub.

… But the more important question isn’t if it’s “Fediverse”. Sure it is. It’s a federated network. The important question is is it part of the Indie Web, since the Fediverse started as a smaller part of the bigger indie web movement, and then the answer is a big no, because it’s a VC-owned for-profit.

I’d have to relearn a bunch of shit.

Don’t feel up to it. I’m so used to my setup.

Even using SteamOS (“Arch but we modded it to be sorta kinda like an immutable distro but not really”) miffs me more than it should.

Darling you need to lay off the shrooms
