Yeah the nub invalidates the n. It’s the wrong shape.

I think your wife invented that

I don’t believe in a soul that’s separate from the body, or that lives on afterward. But the way that “inanimate” matter can spin up thoughts and feelings and a consistent personal experience that can last for decades… It’s almost fair to call that thing a soul. It’s fair to talk about nurturing your soul and growing a soul.

“The customer is always right” is a very popular saying, usually uses by managers to tell their front-facing employees that they must prostrate themselves before the customer on behalf of the corporation.

This is to create a false feeling of entitlement and service in the customer while the corporation seeks to squeeze all value from both employee and customer.

None of those relationships fit into the fediverse scheme.

This helps, thanks!

Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Shudder.

I also pay content creators for a ton of podcasts and stuff like that.

Is there a page where we can see which instances are ban-crazy and which ones actually federate and communicate?

I’m criticizing people criticizing people for criticizing people who criticize people who criticize…

You’re just as tiring as the people you’re criticizing.

I might have to go here. I’m already tired of defederation and its histrionic champions.

God you’re poisonous. I think you belong on exploding heads or lemmygrand or whatever.

You’re not being cruel to the “garbage trash instances,” you’re being cruel to your fellow Lemmy-users who you accuse of “whining” as they express their opinions about federation.

I forgot about them. I didn’t know they were FOSS. Is F-Droid primarily for nerds and programmers? Or do normies also use it? I stopped working on Android apps because I don’t want my hobby to be subjected to the whims of Google’s acceptance criteria. But maybe I could publish to F-Droid instead.

What kind of FOSS software can you get for your android?

At this point I only pirate media that I can’t find through legit means. I think it’s honestly hilarious that they don’t just make every movie or album available to purchase and download without DRM, since that would be the best way to combat piracy.

I pay for what I can, but I’m also a big Linux user who loves FOSS software. Adobe can get bent. I use Gimp, Krita, and Audacity/Tenacity.

Microsoft can also get bent.

Right, I guess you would tell immigrants they’re free to join another country.

Thanks for calling it “whining” when people engage in conversation about how to organize. You seem nice and tolerant. Not toxic, lover of safe (cruel?) spaces.

“Today’s pirates are too mean!”

I like the idea, but it makes modding a lot more work. I don’t think it’s feasible for every community to host an instance.

I’m intrigued by the idea of nomadic communities jumping from platform to platform. Maybe that will become necessary. Each instance might be less stable than the mega-sites we’re used to.

Reddit became popular through dangerous openness. I resent having some admin curate my experience. Give users more control to curate their own experiences. Stop getting in the way of what I want to read.
