Wow, you weren’t kidding.

It also refused to denigrate trans people when Joe Rogan and Melon Husk tried to make it do that on the Joe Rogan Experience’s Stupidity Power Hour.

At least it’s accurate.

We are approaching the second time life has changed earth’s atmosphere enough to cause a mass extinction. Sure, on a small scale, we’re great at working together, but on the biggest scale we’ve reached, we seem to be really bad at it.

I didn’t say basic. I said bad. HTTP 1 is a good protocol. ActivityPub is not. Read both the specs if you don’t believe me. I have.

There’s not a single point in HTTP 1 that I thought, “what the fuck does that mean?” There are several in ActivityPub. ActivityPub also has several areas that are ambiguous. Ambiguity is bad in a specification.

ActivityPub tries to support everything, and has no defined behavior for when a client doesn’t support whatever thing it just received.

It also uses JSON-LD, which isn’t necessarily bad, but defeats the purpose of JSON by making it too complicated to easily write by hand.

This is not easy to write, read, or parse, or build:

{
  "@context": {
    "name": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name",
    "homepage": {
      "@id": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/workplaceHomepage",
      "@type": "@id"
    },
    "Person": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person"
  },
  "@id": "https://me.example.com",
  "@type": "Person",
  "name": "John Smith",
  "homepage": "https://www.example.com/"
}

Imho, ActivityPub is a bad protocol that tries to accomplish everything, and ends up being bad at all of it. The spec is also ambiguous in a lot of areas. And major implementations don’t always follow the spec. All in all, it’s a miracle the fediverse even works as well as it does.

Two Alt keys and no space bar?

That’s the thing. He could do literally anything and it wouldn’t be too far for these people. He could kill their kids and they’d praise him for it.

Why not walk the horse onto the trebuchet and make it your neighbor’s problem?

I feel like being a sex predator is a requirement to be in Trump’s cabinet.

Idiocracy?

It really makes me understand why we don’t see any advanced space faring civilizations as we look to the stars. Life just isn’t good at cooperation.

What can we fucking do? Literally nothing.

The best we’ve got is keeping our local governments functioning, because the federal government is about to come crashing down. Hopefully California will nope out of this dumpster fire of a country.

You couldn’t make Idiocracy today because it wouldn’t be a comedy.

It’s not that they’re against the working class, it’s that they don’t do enough to fight for the working class. How can they when they all take money from billionaires and invest in their companies?

Not having any real plans to solve the problem of shrinking wages and an ever growing wealth gap makes Democrats stay home. And only when enough Democrats stay home do Republicans win.

“When did Star Wars get political??”

“Um… 1977.”

Resonance cavity portal.

I had to look it up to believe it. It actually is called a sound hole.

Why is it called a ball peen hammer?

Cause it’s used to hammer your balls and peen.

No joke, I’ve had two Keurig machines break on me in the past year. Those machines are trash, built to break. After the second one, I just bought a $10 coffee pot, and it’s working great. It’s probably going to last me ten years. There’s barely any parts to break.
