Laws are only real if they’re enforced.

Isn’t the antichrist supposed to be a charismatic leader?

Geforce 3060, and yes. Sometimes my primary screen gets locked at my secondary screen’s framerate. The whole OS is especially wonky after wake from sleep, I often have to restart Firefox and Cinnamon after wake. WebGL things in Firefox are especially finicky. The panel-applet-spice things are horrendously single-threaded, some of lock the whole UI regularly.

I’m going to try some other Debian-based OS in the hopes that this is just Mint+Cinnamon and not the state-of-the-art.

I tried Mint and it’s just too buggy to use.

Lemmy blocking is worthless anyways it’s just a mute

Hooray for crime!

You can’t make observational comedy about being a young and hungry comedian/writer when you’ve spent the last decade being wealthy and out-of-touch.

If he was still clever, he probably could’ve threaded the transphobia needle and either figured a way to make it right or made it so funny that enough people would enjoy it regardless. But now he’s cranky and spoiled by success so he’s just going to get angry, which is even less funny.

… I’d have two nickels - which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Right? The collective dismissal of Mastodon from leftist influencers when the Muskening happened was eye opening.

Like, there’s a collaborative, volunteer-based platform right over there. You want mutual aid? Open-source is as mutual-aid as it gets.

But it’s nerd shit.

Wait, sources are supposed to be credible? I thought the joke was “yes this is an article in an actual* newspaper that is so absurd it seems like it could be satirical”

*for a certain definition of “actual”

Honestly I didn’t even scroll enough to realize there was a paywall I just saw the headline and that there was apparently an article below it and holy crap that headline is as Onion-y as you get.

I know I shouldn’t be surprised by how unhinged they are but they still somehow manage to shock me.

That’s weird, I haven’t gotten the update yet but dark mode is working fine in FF for me. The place where it fails is ff-based webapps, which I use for YouTube music, Discord, and MS Teams.

The libertarian “don’t tread on me” wing of the Republican party is hilariously quiet.

Dumb. Federation is how we escape from every cloud-based service being a dictatorship of the person who owns the platform. That includes federating with privately own orgs to provide them an exit.

By all means make good tools to allow individual users to block Threads (or other private instances ruled by amoral coporations), but doing it at instance level is just dumb.

edit: also, number of instances doesn’t matter. Number of daily active users matters. Most users are on mastodon.social, mastodon.cloud, lemmy.world, hachyderm.io, lemmy.world, etc. And all of those are federating. The only large instance that is not federating with threads is mas.to

Disappointed Moto Mods didn’t catch on. The obvious approach of “skinny phone with minimal features but you can slap whatever you like onto the back (radios, projectors, beefy batteries, gamepad, etc)” - just makes sense for me. I loved my old Moto Z.
