There is this classic:

Yeah, the OIL joke is 20 years old.

We have so much more you can make fun of.

Just don’t vote for Biden! When he loses, he’ll see the error of his ways in supporting a genocide. Then next electio- oh… oh…

The past few months to a year or so we’ve seen a total restructure of the internet. Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have been actively scaring away their user bases.

It’s resulting in a split and divided internet. Like the days of old. Fediverse ActivityPub integration is the only thing that can undo that and revive these all-in-one style communications platforms.

I’m curious to see if it will be better or worse.

Bard: “I already did.”

That’s actually Peter Parker. He’s convinced if he eats enough spiders he’ll be 50% spiders and 50% man, and therefore be Spider-Man. But I think he’s forgetting the Hyphen.

I understand the issue of “it’s a Fediverse only if the network is diversified.” And “it’s difficult for new users to understand.” But if we also go down the path of making the system like a standard centralized network we defeat the purpose of the Fediverse.

Our issue isn’t a “we need to copycat our predecessors” it’s a “we need to explain how we work in a simple enough way no one could possibly misunderstand.”

I’ve tried various methods of explaining it, and I think the issue is half bad explanations and half a lack of interest.

We need to also start pressing our strengths. The Fediverse, as it’s nature of an AGPLv3 project, is ad free. We also don’t have the weight of megacorps deciding what is allowed to be shared because of said ad revenue.

Avoid talking about the technology. Boast our numbers, we’re 2 million strong on Lemmy and 14 million Fediverse wide. Avoid confusion, offer help, and press our advantages.

I’m gonna hold out until 0.19 is more stable.

This post but replace google search with the general internet.

Nearly every place that feels like the old internet is not as popular.

I used to think that was a bad thing, I’m starting to think maybe I’ve just been pushing aside the reality that when the internet was good, it wasn’t as popular.

It’s not about the economy, it’s about widening the class gap and inflicting suffering.

and that’s the Low-ball estimate.

IMO - Racial/Ethnic/National Coding isn’t inherently wrong. But using that coding to push Stereotypes and oppressive mindsets is.

Rule of thumb, if you’re worried you will in some way cross that line, don’t do coding.

Three reminders:

The president isn’t the only position of power in the US, it’s just the most public and obvious one.

A vote against or withdrawn from Biden is a vote for Trump.

If Biden wins, we can try a new candidate in the next election. If Trump wins there won’t be a next election.

Its not baffling, it’s the stock market.

Simple basic, and to the point.

If you’re a publicly traded company, you’re legally required to be fucking dogshit.

You have to meet quarterly expectations, and if you don’t you have to fire people to meet the “”“needs”“” of the shareholders.

Father of 3, 300K in debt: “But we’re in the black! we’re making bank!”

Wealthy Geriatric 110 year old corpse: “yes, but we didn’t make enough bank, so you’re fired.”

This is a system of the utterly deranged.
