@neil Nope. I haven't had cable since circa 2004. I've never had Netflix streaming, Amazon Prime or any of that mess. I pirate everything. No ads. No DRM. 🏴☠️ 🦜

@guizzy @sim @_p @realcaseyrollins If someone believed covid19 was the worst thing ever and never faulted, or something though it was totally fake and never changed their mind, neither can think critically. Most of us looked at things daily and weighed them.

This recent rage machine feels super reactionary; a generation of people taught to react with a 👍 or emoji without thinking. "Silence is violence" is Double-speak; pushing people to react without thinking as a sign of virtue. This is insane

@guizzy Here's the full clip. Dude, there is a FUCKING building on fire behind you. Not any building. That is literally a police station. The fucking police station .. behind you .. is on fire.

@wowaname pigeons. I can't spell today. Although if you like pidgins LangFocus is a great YouTube channel about language @solexid

@solidsanek Wow. This is hilarious (sauce: https://twitter.com/studioincendo/status/1245414753058426881)

@nosleep Thanks. I was outside my house years ago, during the 2008 elections. I based it off this old graffiti/meme. It was up for like three days before someone stole it.

@tuxcrafting

@proxeus @Holot Is it though? I use Linux/i3 and all the FOSS stuff; but the Linux desktop never happened; Gimp will never be close to Photoshop, Darktable is decent, but it's no Lightroom ..

Fighting for CoCs and restricting free software for political alignment is not what the FSF et. al. stood for in the 90s. Most FOSS is middle-ware to make commercial products. I wrote about this a while back:

It's a big long winded. I should do a followup.

@guerrillarain or ..

1. just don't get bent out of shape over every little thing.
2. Give people the benefit of the doubt.
3. Don't over think things.
4. Be willing to learn from others no matter how different their views are from yours
5. Realize you might by trolled. Sometimes you can tell (Poe's Law). Just move on.
6. Accept apologies. If someone changes their mind, accept it at face value. Going on and on in is cancel culture.
7. This is just one big AOL chat room. It's ephemeral. #moveon

> Coming into mentions uninvited to just be a douchebag.

If you don't want to be a part of the Fediverse, then don't fucking federate! Don't get mad if someone replies to you. You can mark a post followers-only. You not understanding the UI doesn't make me a douche bag, it makes you an ignorant asshole.

And if you're going to report someone, at least make sure they're not the admin of the fucking instance! If you want to ban and kick people out of your chat room, go back to AOL and IRC.
