Exist in positive spaces.

Turns out hitting the music festival was a terrible idea, because it absolutely turned everyone against them.

What the fuck are you doing, LTT? Go get the fucking prototype back and return it.

I have mixed feelings about Smash Mouth. On the one hand, they've been my guilty music pleasure since high school.

On the other, Harwell never quite recovered from his son's death and became a shitty human being, between the throwing out nazi salutes and him and Greg Camp being anti-vaxxers. It's just a damn shame all around, but I'm still sorry to see him go out this way.

This. I've been using Jerboa ever since making the switch to Lemmy. There wasn't much of a learning curve and it basically does what I want, so I'm happy with it.

I deleted a few weeks ago. I never left any personally identifiable comments, but I do miss the platform. It's a shame what greed does to people.

Mozilla Thunderbird can connect to IRC servers as a chat client. Just sayin'.

Edit: got downvoted for some reason, so clarified.

So we're doing this again, are we

I get the same sense. It has somewhat of a nostalgic "we're all in this together" feeling that using the internet in the mid/late-90's had, and the updoots appear to be a side-effect of that.

Loyal FF user since 2017 or so. Loving Thunderbird's renaissance, too.

At least for me, Mastodon replaced Twitter and Lemmy replaced Reddit. But then, I'm not "normal" and find the Fediverse to be endlessly fascinating.

He got too sidetracked thinking about how he was going to further stack the SC.

Again?

Another vote for Bitwarden. I love it and recommend it to everyone.

Allegedly

Yeah, he had issues for sure. But I always held out hope that he'd turn it around.

Yes, we do.

"Feared?"

There's shitposting and then there's mean-spirited shitposting. Lemmy's community was the former, 4/8chan is the latter.

We watched the aftermath of the Columbine shooting on one of these. Our school was one of the middle schools that fed into Columbine, and you could pick if you wanted to go to Columbine or Chatfield. A lot of my classmates went to Columbine the year after it happened.

I was in high school when 9/11 happened (I chose Chatfield) but we had TVs in most classrooms there. So, sure enough, almost every TV in that school was turned to a news network on that day. Matt Dahl, the son of one of the pilots of Flight 93, went there as well.

Me. I was either 10 years or very close to it. The loss of Relay was one thing, but the general douchebaggery that followed was the end for me.

You call the fucking feds and report that shit. You do not fuck around with meth.

In other news, things that water touches becomes wet

I was reading that Reddit was restoring deleted posts from a backup. Apparently the correct route was to use a tool to mass edit all your posts to something that would have been saved in a backup. I just left all mine, because I didn't think about it until after the API was limited and the tools stopped working.

Line goes up!

It's still around, and has undergone some... renewed interest. It's super slick now, and they're working on bringing a version of it to android (using K-9 Mail as a base.)

I can confirm this. I signed up for the free trial of YT Premium (which I immediately cancelled, but I'll take the three months) but YT seems to be detecting that I'm on Firefox and have Ublock installed, so I'm getting the occasional 5 second forced delay, even though I'm a premium user. (They may not count the trial as being a "true" premium user, I'd suspect.)

Clearly it's TempleOS.

Noncredibledefense is what happens when the world's alleged second strongest military invades its neighbor, completely screws the pooch, gets its shit pushed in, and struggles to hold its gains while the world watches and makes memes about it.

He should kindly do the needful and calm the fuck down.

I see what you did here.

Thought you clowns stayed on Shitter.

There's some slight functionality differences and maybe some customization: for example, Relay had swipe controls which were pretty nice.

As stated here, the Springs are moving left. It's Weld county that appears to be the new Conservative bastion here, but even that is starting to weaken.

Your original comment was fine. It was the second one that got you into trouble.

Eh, I kind of see where he's coming from. My response to threats like that is "have fun storming the castle, fuckface."

Ah, the ol' "the anti-bigots are the real bigots" response? Is that where we are now?

Yeah, but we all knew what he meant and didn't feel like being a pedantic asshole about it.

So he has that going, anyway.
