This is cool, it was even cooler before guy on the right begged musk for attention on twitter. Never meet your ~~heroes~~ memes.

I would've never known this exists, were it not for your comment. Thank you, reading it now.

I already played at least two :^) Thanks for reminding me

It's dangerous to tell people "shit's fucked and there's nothing you can do about it" because they might believe you and do nothing.

Which is why I'm not doing that.

P.S. I'm not advocating for doom here, I just wish more people understood that Americans buying cheap Chinese electric cars won't save the people living nearby the mine in Africa where the cobalt for those batteries was extracted.

I don't think you disagree with the parts where I say people will suffer.

With respect, I think you're projecting a discussion with a different person onto this article.

I don't think so? My comment is generally aimed at "the situation is grim, but tech just got awesome, so let's save the planet people!" optimism-filled pieces, much like this one. Forgive me if I come across as affronted when, as temperatures reach new and dangerous heights in certain regions, I am put out seeing someone say market forces are on the cusp of saving us.

For what it's worth, I hope you're right.

Discoverability is a huge barrier to entry in the Fediverse, and they're not helping.

It's hard for me to judge them too harshly, though. Fediverse devs do things I disagree with all the time, and users too. Maybe, in a different world, something else could've taken Mastodon's place... but its forks stick close, Pleroma has the charm of a brick, Misskey is too 日本, and Misskey forks got Messy, and—

...Oh. That's it, isn't it? Mastodon is the best that ActivityPub has to offer most microblogging fans.

Thank you.

Whenever using this trick, I'd suggest using DDG instead of Bing if possible.

Is this the official Mozilla connect survey? I believe the question order and groupings were randomized, and that may have been a (IMO bad) control question.

On the other hand, an isolated community can also become a nasty brewing pot, reinforcing harmful behaviors and even intensifying them over time.

I don't think calling them safe spaces for hateful assholes is accurate, but I understand frustrations with them.

There's at least one interesting fellow in this very thread sharing extremely predictable opinions.

I thought I was annoying when arguing. Still do, but I found someone worse. Doesn't make me feel better, because it seems I'm sharing a table with them.

There's a chance duckduckgo does something similar, but sadly I can't check at the moment.

Leaving a comment so I remember to try it later—unless anyone reading is willing to do so.

Yes, people chase content, which means chasing where many people are, but why did Bluesky become a mainstream alternative and Mastodon didn't?

I'm saying marketing doesn't cut it, and it's not just about where most users are either, otherwise everyone but Threads would be irrelevant.

People bounce off both Threads and Mastodon, and there are platform-related reasons for that.

 

Starting soon at 18:00 UTC (a little over an hour from now).

 
 

Nothing else about your life changes. Real world, but either with this fictional character as a roommate or your favorite real person somehow becoming your friend.

Obviously ignoring partners, best friends, family and such here when defining this favorite person. Could be someone whose work you respect a lot, an important parasocial relationship in your life, just someone you really like, or anything similar.

Bonus round: the person you hate the most as your roommate or the character you hate the most as your enemy?
