TIL

I’ll admit it lol

Unfortunately all the masses want is maximum ease of use, full stop. Just look at the Reddit exiles -

“Welcome to Lemmy, pick a server any server be a winner”

“WTF IS THIS NERD SHIT SIGNUP TOOK MORE THAN ONE ACTION ON MY PART RIP LEMMY LONG LIVE REDDIT IS LEMME JUST REDDIT YET NO FUUUUUUUUU”

“Michael was driving a car from a company that shows every private residence in the country. But it’s also a company that won’t let us show the car that takes those pictures. In fairness to them, it is their property. If you want to know what the company is, all you have to do is ‘something’ it.”

Seconding Jellyfin. I used to run XBMC as God intended on my old OG Xbox but Kodi is so bloated and garbo these days from what I’ve seen.

A vague interest in taking my data away from “Big Tech” led me to get hosting a few years back and use a private email solution professionally hosted. Last year, I bought a pi then went through a breakup and didn’t touch it until recently haha.

I just had to rebuild from scratch but I’m running Flame dashboard, Vaultwarden, Nextcloud, Baikal, and a rickroll server disguised as a Docs app, because I’m a red blooded American. :P (and the boring stuff lol)

No u

Then it should be treated as what it is, an illegal venture based off of theft. I don’t get a legal pass to steal just because the groceries I stole got cooked into a meal and are therefore no longer the groceries I stole.

That’s how I feel gesturing broadly at the 3 or 4 states they’re still actively fighting against minimum marriage age laws.

Their voters out here voting for them to “protect children” from pronouns, from books, from learning - then turn a blind eye when they vote to make marrying at 12 legal again or to force 12 year olds to give birth or to send 12 year olds back to the mines. Not only are the politicians cartoon villains, in 2023 so are their voters. Full Stop.

Plenty of systems operate just fine without 4-6 hours of daily scheduled downtime. This is just deliberate.

We know why but pointing out how Republicans only policy position is “explicitly kneecap everything so we can privatize it and funnel money to our friends at non negotiated rates 5x the normal end user retail cost” is apparently not allowed because some guys like guys and some people want to alter a pronoun by one letter or some such shit.

I’ve known a few parents who will straight up tell their kids date to run. 😂

That’s…not how that works at all. They’re to the left of Republicans but that’s akin to saying that Mt Everest’s distance from sea level ain’t shit compared to the moon.

America: nuh uh in fact aspartame gives you a 6 pack we just discovered

I forget that most “kids” (Idk 20 and down maybe a few years older) only know the internet and technology via Facebook and android/iPhone respectively.

I scroll on my phone PLENTY, I’m not judging, but I can’t imagine not having a desktop or laptop at least.

Centrists in 2023 are just MAGAts who don’t want the shame

and yet the Democrats are still a right wing party.

Just because we let Republicans pull the Overton Window so far to the right it’s damn near broken doesn’t change the fact that Dems are still right wing.

Biden has accomplished alot of big things actually, they just aren’t culture war issues so Republicans have never heard of any of them.

While everyone wants to constantly cry about it not being Reddit - the fact that people are flocking here hand over fist over the more direct 1 for 1 Reddit clones shows that people do understand that we need to go back to a more decentralized web. Even if this doesn’t hit critical Reddit size mass, there’s enough of us to keep each other company ❤️

Down with furiously masturbating moderation 2023
