I understand

No, no clearly don’t.

I don’t think it’s “kinda dumb” to point out the issue all, unless you’re an insufferable twatwaffle like 90% of the fucking STEM community in 2024, who can never be wrong or challenged.

Like, I’d consider myself pretty progressive, maybe even “woke” if that still has any meaning left, and even I might have just used male pronouns because I myself am male;’not for malicious reasons but just because I wasn’t thinking in that moment.

But if I was like “oh yeah, that makes sense, and cool you even did the work of fixing it for me! Merged.” and went about my day, no one would have brigaded me, no one would have posted it all over socials, there wouldn’t be blogs and articles, and I’d probably have a leg to stand on if anyone still wanted to make a big deal.

The way this dude reacted was a self-report. The community was right to push back, even if some people ended up taking it too far.

I’m not familiar with using USB drives, but on any bare-metal system don’t use /dev/sdX but instead use /dev/disk/by-id/<big long disk identifier> in your fstab/cryptab etc. Even if you switch ports/bays, or your devices come up in a weird order after a reboot, config always points to the same physical disk. Way less stuff breaks.

God they’re so expensive now. I bought a 24-port backplane for $37 like 3 years ago and the same one is now $120

Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem and talked a bunch of shit about how it belongs to Israel alone etc etc fueling the discontent of both Hamas and Zionists alike

We might not even be in this mess now if it wasn’t for that shit. Motherfucker just lighting fires constantly.

Are those posts/comments/images available on other instances?

If an instance just shuts down, we just lose all that content? Sounds like a pretty fatal flaw.

Yeah, ok? The fresh mechanics Pokemon has needed for a long time now. Also, still rounding up ‘mons to build a team to accomplish goal.

It was similar enough that Nintendo had to tell its fans to shut the hell up about it.

Palworld is the facelift Pokemon needed.

There was some talk recently that perhaps the universe is as a much as twice as old as we suspected, which could account for (some?) aspects of it we try to explain with dark matter. I wonder if this discovery lends any weight to that?

See, it must have made their passwords easier to guess…

Man, he admitted he was guilty.

I don’t recall Nintendo trolling.

I do recall Nintendo, in the most polite and businesslike way possible, telling its incessant dickriders to stop flooding its communication channels with the breaking news that someone made a game with a Pokemon-adjacent concept.

Yeah that’s kind of the point.

(Also wtf are you smoking? “Travel the world collecting animals to be on your team” is the core concept)

Rent seeking, theft/copyright infringement, walled garden you can’t escape (if Microsoft holds all your files good luck getting them back on Linux)

Microsoft needs to die.

SmashBurger did the same and also had a spicy version that was awesome; also gone 😔

Hey guys not to be a downer but like…what DO we do when a federated instance goes down and takes all its content with it?

Correct. 65% of all human internet traffic is unmodified Chrome.

When Firefox was slow, Internet Explorer was clunky and didn’t render anything correctly, and scrappy upstart with a “Don’t be evil” slogan and great search engine Google came out with a new fast, memory efficient web browser, all us nerds ran out and told everyone “look! The internet doesn’t suck anymore! Use Chrome!” We were all amazed that we could have like 5 tabs open on our PCs with a whole gigabyte of RAM.

The normies echoed this through time, never unchanging - “my kid says ‘Chrome’ is the good one”. Even when sites started breaking when viewed in other browsers…didn’t we just finish fighting this “standards” war? Isn’t this what we destroyed Internet Explorer for?

Mist-Alovoa ‘lovoa, alovoa, Mmm

They call me mista bombastic

Gitlab can be self-hosted. GitHub is a cloud-only service.

So they could do git.mozilla.com and it would be their own instance of git, on their own hardware (or, probably, from their own AWS account). They control it entirely.

This is why Chrome browsers wanted Manifest v3 or whatever- they took away the APIs for extensions to do stuff like that.
