TempleOS - a very gifted individual made his own OS from scratch by himself but was thwarted by his own schizophrenia and delusions of persecusion. He was also incredibly racist. Ultimately though it’s very sad story seeing him lose his grip on reality thinking government agencies were after him and he was a prophet doing God’s work. It’s a decade long saga, he ended up homeless for a long while and died a few years ago.

John McAffee - talking about delusional tech guys, this one takes it to the highest level. This guy travelled the world running from the u.s. govt for tax evasion, won a game of russian roulette through quantum immortality (debatable), killed his neighbor for poisoning his dog(allegedly), and was an avid crypto enthusiast. He was found dead in a spanish prison right before he could be brought back to his homeland. It was declared a suicide but many people don’t believe that.

It’s not even about morality. It’s a dumb law that doesn’t protect users most at risk—even if enforced—while making it incredibly convoluted and awkward for everyone else.

On second thought, that second part was probably the point.

Yeah, and I’m not a actually Alpha, the android protagonist from critically-acclaimed and cult classic iyashikei manga Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, either. Sorry, guys.

As others have said, isopropyl alcohol works great to remove adhesive residue. Just don’t use it with certain plastics.

you’re blaming the medium

I don’t think that’s implied in the post. Also reddit inc is complicit in the bot farming since it boosts their engagement metrics.

The pixelfed dev said thy were working on an app so that’s what I’m waiting for.

A few points:

-I feel like even this short guide is overcomplicating it for 90% of potential users. Just add a tl;dr at the start about checking out the relevant settings (top bar, notifications), subscribing to magazines, and navigating to the “subscribed” feed. Like, if I want a hot shower I don’t need to know where the water comes from or how pressure is determined by the bermoulli formula, just say what do I press to get the water to come out hot.

-Explain that collapsible comments are coming and there’s a userscript for people who are into that.

-I don’t think that this separation of tiers is efficient for anyone. Like, if I want to know how to see the local feed is that lurker or addict.

-I think it’s overcomplicating threads and microblogs. Yeah, I didn’t know there was a difference between replies and comments but it’s never been relevant for me this past month. One is like reddit and is compatible with lemmy, the other is like twitter and lets you talk to mastodon users (and misskey, and calckey,…).

-On that note, some people get overly confused with the concept of federation (in part because people usually overcomplicate it when explaining), and this problem is compounded on a platform that also interacts with instances from other platforms. You can just keep it simple and say “you have an account on a website which has its own content. There are others that look exactly the same with different users and content, but you have access* to all of that too”.
*unless admins decide to defederate specifically from your website, like what beehaw did.

Ironic that I said to keep things short and then wrote a huge comment.

I used to use tusky when I made my account way back and I remember that being good. After returning this year I decided to buy fedilab and it’s very good.

Just reply to one and tag the rest at the end of your comment like a CC

I would draw the iconic S on the ground.

There’s not one specific game but every year I revisit at least one game from my childhood. Crash team racing, tony hawk 4, resident evil 4, metal gear solid 3, crash twinsanity, guitar hero 3, cold winter, medal of honor vanguard. I’m thinking of revisiting croc, mercenaries 2, prince of persia, or marvel ultimate alliance this year.

I say ‘spez’, as an adjective, should denote a level of degradation similar to that of a cum box with live fungi growing out of it.

I’m more of a mergers&acquisitions type of guy

I always unlock these, if only to visualize taps. USB debugging is also cool because of scrcpy, a program that allows you to see and control your phone from your pc.

What an odd way to initially phrase it. Saying “underage-looking nsfw” is such an underhanded wording that it makes me feel like they were trying to stir up a shitstorm against their own userbase. The followup is way better “we’re allowing weebs, no loli, some of you might still think it looks underage but we’re leaving it at the mods’ discretion”. But the damage is already done.

Going from playing space impact on my nokia to having my next phone reproduce a gif recieved by bluetooth.
Also Wi-Fi.

Definitely look at @newcommunities
idk how to link lol

I’ll be frank, most of these ideas are childish and will result in mod removal quicker than you can say “malicious compliance”. Just keep the blackout, or maybe make posts require mod approval and set the automod reply message.

Hi! How are you liking it here, find any real interesting communities yet?
