I have a friend who has had a mastodon instance since it was gnu social, and there are two reasons I stopped using it.

First, the UI sucks. He installed 3 or 4 different skins and they were all barely usable. I don’t want or need something flashy, xfce is my favorite windows manager, but it needs to at least work and not be confusing.

Second, the people suck. It went from being okay to by the time I left I don’t think I was seeing any exchanges that didn’t have antisemitism or racism.

Are the movies 4, 5, 6, and Rogue One?

The best Star Wars are the animated shows. Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch are each better than most of the movies. Andor is also good. So Star Wars is a lot more than just 3 movies.

I wonder what they are planning that they think will piss everyone off.

I’ve checked a few times, and I’ve had a few posts show up after I thought I got them all. I think what is going on is that the delete script can’t get posts that are on hidden subreddits that you aren’t subscribed to. So when people are done protesting or whatever and they set the subreddit to public the posts come back.

Juliet should be played by an English man, just like Shakespeare intended.

Guess they didn’t want to say that Musk shit posted so hard that he ended up being forced to buy the company.

I wouldn’t take that bet even if you changed it to 5 days.

I didn’t think Biden was going to make it another 4 years. I knew what I was voting for and I think most people did.

Bi-annually has the problem that it can mean twice a year or every two years.

Israel kept bombing their own military operation?

Look at the key, there are two different blues and two different oranges.

I know I was assuming that the Russians claimed that they were nuclear bomb proof, at least for the 30 seconds that I knew about them before I read this thread. Seeing the picture I didn’t believe that they were in in actuality.

Started eating at Culver’s recently. Same price as McDonald’s but tastes like actual good quality hamburgers.

People keep focusing on the slur and his apology. The context of what he is saying wouldn’t be any better if he used an acceptable word for gay people. Either way, both times, he was saying that there are too many gay priests and that he wishes that there were less of them. This is bigoted regardless of the specific words used.

So, instead of saying, “Catholic seminaries were already too full of [bundle of sticks]” instead he meant to say that “Catholic seminaries were already too full of homosexuals”. I’m not sure fixing the one word helps his message or is actually even the problem.

The term he used is being censored on here so I used a substitute.

The two hardest problems in programming are cache invalidation, naming things, and off by one errors.

The way God intended.

I’ve tried to use matrix… Is there a good matrix client? Like, one with admin commands? Maybe I just didn’t “get” it, but it seemed not even yet half baked.
