If Mastodon wanted to be preferred, it should have been better. I moved to Mastodon over a year ago when the Twitter sale first happened. It was not great then and it’s gotten slightly worse since. I created a Bluesky account two fats ago and it already offers exactly the experience I missed from Twitter before Elon.

Would it be better if Mastodon was good and the federated FOSS option was superior? Sure, absolutely. But, that scenario isn’t even close to the case we are presented with.

. I’d say this counts for sure.

Take a long look, this is what leftist victories look like

Fuck, probably Boromir too.

The meme betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of how mobile OS work. They’re not “running in the background.” If they haven’t been interacted with recently they have been frozen and moved out of active memory. Tired literally just looking at a picture of an app when you go to the task view.

I wonder how much Trump is going to sell the Seventh Fleet for. I’m sure it will be the best deal ever, right?

Corporate support of development, and I’m not just talking about Redhat and SUSE. Hell, Microsoft is a major contributor to the kernel.

Holy. Shit.

Horseshoe Theory in action

An important party of governing is listening to constituents. They border is the second highest concern of voters (behind the economy) and an overwhelming majority want stricter border controls. Being a good public servant involves listening to the public.

What about barrel cooling? Getting rid of heat is a major challenge in a vacuum.

In the balance between geopolitical conflicts and Linux, the latter is the petty stuff.

holy shit lol

Scale always matters, it is the anchor point for shared communication.

The one where a human is speaking in English and referring to a season and the temperature is more than significant context. I hope this helped you; it seems that you’re one of those people who lack the capacity to infer from available data.

It’s still assuming a scale. It’s actually worse because the scale is implied by context.

Reloaded was well liked. Revolutions was widely panned. I also rewatched them both recently (all four plus the Animatrix in order, actually) and I found that I liked them more on rewatch, a couple decades later, than I did initially.

You’re welcome.

If your “urban fabric” can’t support access to the public, it doesn’t deserve to survive.
