So does that mean it gets one more season before Netflix cancels it?

That is awesome. My only issue is that I’m 100% sure that I’d forget about it and end up lying down with it still on my head and breaking it. Seems like it’s mostly good for the club but I don’t see why you couldn’t occasionally wear it for the day with certain outfits.

This doctor outrage was easily one of the top dumbest fucking things to ever come out of the USA. And of course it was all the right wing conservative people lmao. It’s just one thing after the other with these people. If they’re not angry that kids are learning Arabic numerals in school, they’re busy choosing 1/4 pounder burgers over 1/3 pounder burgers. But the doctor thing is definitely one for the hall of fame.

Ugh. It was a really fun idea returning to this story like 30 years later with a new generation but do they really need to turn it into a franchise now? Fkn come on Hollywood.

look like a girl, act like a lady, think like a man, work like a boss

Lmao holy shit. And it would be the South African side that does this 🤦‍♂️ I hate it here lol. The scary part is that this slogan had to have been seen by multiple people before it got posted on social media. And not one saw the problem.

Just dropped my phone and now half the screen is messed up and barely readable. Great. Guess that anything I save now is going to another cheap piece of shit phone that I dislike first, before it goes to anything worthwhile.

I honestly don’t think Arch is that bad or complicated. It’s just that you have to go into it knowing that you’re in for some reading, tinkering and following step by step instructions along the way. I’d start with something like Mint or Ubuntu for a first look for sure. But once you’re ready to learn a bit more about how the Linux system works and is put together, Arch would straight up be my first recommendation. Even if it’s something you play with on the side in a virtual machine, for me at least, starting on Arch was when my Linux experience went from clicking at things and copy pasting commands into the terminal to still copying and pasting commands lol, but actually learning why and how and what too.

You could create a Fediverse-critic community here

I wouldn’t go that far lol. It’s just interesting watching how people vote on certain posts and opinions. I’ll most likely still speak my mind regardless, it’ll just be one of those things that I know will be ‘controversial’ around here every time lol.

That’s a fair point. So I guess the purpose that it actually serves is bookmarking and saving the page at the same time. I can definitely see the use in that actually.

The feddit.org interpretation of that law is debated

Sure but that doesn’t change that they interpreted it the way they did and now they’re enforcing that interpretation. Theoretically any instance could do whatever they want but in reality this instance did the thing that everyone worries about centralised platforms doing.

I get that you can leave links to your old profile and communities, you can also do that on forum sites and any other platform when you switch. I still don’t see any difference or benefit here. As an end user that just wants a place to shit post and isn’t trying to run a server or write code or whatever, the experience is the same, whether I’m trying different Lemmy instances or different centralised platforms. And it’ll be the same until I can take my online presence and all of its history, pack my bags and go elsewhere with it. Not sure how that would work though, I’m just spitballing here.

Anyway, I think this is probably a conversation that I’m gonna avoid and ignore in future here though. I get the sense that the only place to discuss certain aspects of the Fediverse without people getting angry or taking things personally is somewhere outside of the Fediverse. Because people are weird and defensive about it and make it part of their personality, which I think is the reason for at least 50% of the hate towards Bluesky.

Weird gimmick that I’ve literally never used or even ever considered using. There’s already this obscure thing that you can save articles and pages in for later called “bookmarks”.

Based on everything I’ve seen across DC adaptations, this kid could be DC’s answer to Spider-Man and he should’ve been pushed as such long ago. If they weren’t so busy making 90% Batman and Batman related content. Looking forward to seeing him get his own actual series, so we can all get to know him better.

I’d still rather there be more choices personally. Not everyone is going to go for the Fediverse, so in that case rather Bluesky than Twitter or Facebook.

Also, recently feddit just announced that they’re going to be using their subjective discretion to remove “anti Israel, pro Palestine” comments and posts, out of fear of regulations back home. So it turns out that Lemmy instances are just as vulnerable to government censorship and / or bad actors being in charge as any other platform. There’s nothing really stopping any large instance from deciding to monetize or whatever that I can see.

And it’s really not as simple as just moving to another instance if the one you’re on becomes questionable because then you lose your entire comment history and if you mod a community, you lose everything you’ve built and have to start over. Just like if you moved from any platform to any other platform, decentralization isn’t a benefit here.

2 or 17. Sometimes (rarely) 20.

People here are going to celebrate when Bluesky fails and people are left with less and much worse options again. People here have been clamoring for Bluesky’s downfall since I got here and it’s pretty ridiculous. At least women didn’t have to scratch and claw and fight just to exist on that platform. For all of the pearl clutching and purity checking that goes on here on Lemmy, there’s a lot of neckbeards that are terrified of cooties who can’t understand why someone would choose to be somewhere else.

That’s actually a very good point. Usually Christians be like “god is infallible and has a master plan and everything is according to ‘his’ will and divine vision. Except for gay people and trans people and cannabis plants and dinosaur bones. In that case, fuck god’s plan.”

Just two pointless things:

• I want to finally finish my Terraria guide so that I can stop making lists and start playing.

• Started using a Lemmy app that has multicommunities, want to finish up sorting all of my subscriptions into categories. I might actually try another Lemmy instance again because not being able to even upload a profile pic for the first 4 weeks on lemm.ee is just stupid.

Also today’s mission:

• Find the person that sold me two joints yesterday and buy some more and hopefully get her number this time lol.

Other than that, all of my actual real goals are longer term and this isn’t the week where I announce something life changing yet.

Anything without a boss breathing down my neck. I want to be told what needs to be done and when it needs to be done by, then leave me the fk alone to achieve that however I see fit.

As a kid already, my three dreams were music, writing, or game dev. I’m really over the rockstar thing, I wouldn’t mind jamming in a band again but I don’t think I’ll look for success in that avenue again.

As far as writing goes, the state of ‘journalism’ and AI these days makes me almost glad I didn’t get a career in it, and being a successful author seems like almost as much of a longshot as being a successful rockstar.

So these days my dream job is game dev. Something that I could put music and writing and art and any other creativity into at the same time. I don’t want to make the next Skyrim. Goals for me are someone like the Stardew Valley dev that is now successful and can spend all his time working on his one love if he wants, or tinker with something new without any pressure, if he wants.

South Africa, Western Cape. Pretty shit actually. There’s like one month in the year that I actually get to dress up nicely without sweating and stripping off layers. And there’s barely any autumn or spring to speak of. It’s just hot weather into hotter weather into less hot weather again and into a month or two of cold. I preferred the weather on the eastern side of the country in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Winter and summer are more defined and there’s at least a hint of autumn and spring.

Ultimately I want to be somewhere cold though. I feel like the older I get, the more I hate this endless fkn summer. I want to be cold and cozy and comfortable and wear all my jackets and cool shit daily.

I feel like they’ve probably all got pros and cons and probably require a little research. I recently signed up here on lemm.ee and the sign up process seemed pretty quick and simple. And they seem to do minimal de-federating. But the flip side to that is you can’t upload any images for your first 4 weeks on the server. 4 fkn weeks.

And if I’d read that first, I might have reconsidered joining here. I think I’d rather be inconvenienced by sightly more in depth questions and a 1 day wait time for signing up than a 4 fkn week wait before I can even upload a profile pic and banner image.

Edit: in fact I’m gonna go as far as saying that it’s false advertising. They advertise as general purpose instance but seemingly can’t even handle a thing that about 50% if this type of social media entails. They should change their blurb on join-lemmy to “We would like to be a general purpose reddit-like instance but our servers catch on fire every time someone uploads a meme, so we should actually be doing something smaller scale instead of pretending that we can hang with lemmy.world”.
