Are they a good group of people?

They seem cool.

And what is a toot?

“toot” is just Mastodon for “Tweet”, since a Mastodon probably trumpeted.

“BOM”

Lol. Two things can both be bad.

Great movie.

I loved realizing that no child in the entire village lacks red hair.

I shall henceforth always call “The Proposal” by it’s corrected title “The HR Nightmare One”. That’s so perfect. Thank you for that.

Yeah. The litigation risk is considered high right now, and no one wants to be first to try it.

Which I totally get. This place is largely run by volunteers, after all.

We saw similar hesitation in the early days of WordPress/Wikipedia/Drupal proliferation. Eventually those solutions greatly enabled sites like BlogSpot and Tumblr to become wild places, and niche sites to pop up for stuff that BlogSpot and Tumblr didn’t want to touch.

I can think of a few specific anti-spam and security tools that strongly enabled casual admins of WordPress to start sites.

I think we will see an erotic golden age once Fediverse moderation tools cross some unknown usability threshold.

Edit: I come across here as really excited about porn. Lol.

Art has a long history of being erotic, and beauty appreciation is one of the better things technology can do.

I am also really excited for the rest of the content that will thrive after demand for porn has pushed the technology to maturity.

Yes!

It think it’s actually why I’m a Linux user, now.

(I like to claim it’s beside I’m very good at software and I understand sustainability principles.)

But…also…Windows took away my pretty desktop.

My carefully tuned, color coordinated, work of art, desktop environment just went away during a Windows upgrade.

And my journey to find a better OS began.

I’m not sure what to do.

On Mastodon, I used the search function to shotgun random topics that interest me, and then followed all the hashtags on the posts that came up.

Over time, I started replacing following hashtags with following my favorite users who I discovered through those hashtags.

Then I started discovering and following their favorite users through their boosts.

Now that my feed is pretty much where I want it I tend to click “hide boosts” on anyone new that I follow, to prevent their every random amusement from cluttering my feed.

The end result is fantastic, but it took awhile to get there.

stopped talking to me once I said I didn’t have instagram, because it meant I was “hiding something”.

That’s awful.

Also, I guess they would think I’m hiding so much, considering the number of bloated awful services I’ve rejected.

and therefore is the one and only acceptable proprietary launcher.

Yep! But that’s only until they decide to enshitify, which they (Valve) will, because they (the humans making the correct choices today) will sell or retire.

You’re doing better than I am. I just bullshit them and say I’ll “probably check it out later.” By which I really mean whenever it gets reposted on a less shitty technology platform, in a few decades. But I don’t say that part.

Yeah! I think that’s going to sway in this place’s favor very soon.

I predict a glorious age of the very best curated pornography being here.

As other preferred platforms enshitify, I expect a lot of innovate erotic sensual and/or dirty artists (new and established) to have a dynamic, accessible, profitable experience here.

It’s probably going to be very horny, but also really beautiful in a lot of pro-social ways.

He allways felt completely out of place

I felt that way too, until it clicked for me that music has a history in war of keeping morale up, and that’s a messy relationship.

So I’ve reconciled Vic as being meant as a stand-in for a missing traveling ‘support the troops’ musician. Vics “what the hell did you all bring me to life, here in the middle of a war, for?!” sort of maps messily to the experience of a musician drafted during WWII and put directly into an army band.

I’m curious if the theory holds up to closer inspection on my next watch through.

Ooh. That’s an interesting thought!

Maybe with an external pixel display.

Makes sense. I only really replied there to help anyone reading along.

There’s many very basic features of vim that VsVim does not have (like… almost all command line commands), basic features which regular vim users use all the time.

! is supported:

https://github.com/VsVim/VsVim/blob/master/Documentation/Supported Features.md

It sounds like you haven’t tried VsVim in a long be time, or had an unusually bad experience with it.

(Edit: My responses to your other points were my old man energy, and not worth anyone’s time, so I removed them.)

Great points.

I’m realizing a picked a poor hill to defend.

Though I’ll admit I did enjoy both of those.

It’s simply false to claim that vscode has more features than vim

Holy shit. I would never claim that. Lol.

Not sarcasm. I’m genuinely satisfied with VSCode’s Vim emulation, and you’re the first person I have heard say otherwise.

I just meant - that means you’re using features that most of us aren’t.

Fair point about evil mode for Emacs being better, but that requires using Emacs, which I have found un-usable, so far.

Also, the vim plugin for vscode is kind of a joke compared to what vim can do.

Dang. Hot take! I don’t think I’ve heard anyone else say that.

You clearly actually completed VimTutor.

I have several complaints about the VSVim plugin, but it’s easily the most feature complete Vim-like plugin I’ve ever encountered.

I’m trying to pay you a compliment, but I am doing it poorly.

As a legend among my Vim using peers, I can see how VSVim can be frustrating, to someone who truly leverages Vim.

Your annoyance with VSVim outs you as one of the true power users.
