I honestly don’t think that’s the case. Generational divides aren’t that strongly defined that they have a specific cutoff date and time, people don’t really agree on exact moments. Some people who were born after said cutoff are better described by the previous generation, and vice-versa. For example, if you go strictly by date of birth, by most definitions of the term, my father is a (very late) boomer, but his life experience is much more similar to what defined Gen X’ers.

What a convoluted way they chose to say “we didn’t use a prepared statement” lol

Eh, from what I could gather from both specs ATProto does address some shortcomings of ActivityPub, so the idea has some technical merit. While a lot of the current Fediverse seems to have settled on AP, it’s not like it’s the be-all and end-all of federated protocols either.

Maybe you’re just talking about the company behind it?

I’d rather have them on Bluesky/AT than Threads, to be perfectly honest…

My vote goes to Kpectacle

I’d say it’s just a specific case of a strawman argument, but maybe I’m misunderstanding.

I’d say football has that unique advantage that it can be played basically anywhere with anything somewhat ball shaped and bouncy. One of the most accessible sports out there. Barely any equipment required to be able to play it.

I do wonder what she visibly has that tons of other pop singers don’t to have become so popular. Still, I’m puzzled by your choice of words here. I can’t say I really understand what’s “goofy” about her.

That’s big!

Many of our MPs are landlords themselves, which may influence how... reactive they are to the issue https://www.landlordmps.ca/data-analysis

Our economy is over-reliant on housing as an investment in general, so getting people to do anything about it is hard to begin with https://www.oecd.org/housing/policy-toolkit/country-snapshots/housing-policy-canada.pdf

It's not looking good. We're in so deep already. A lot of people will lose their homes either way.

That’s fine. Most people aren’t “Windows pros” either.

That’s probably it. Package doesn’t exist anymore, but is available on AUR since 2024/03/16

No Mario Party, maybe

CUPS picks up my TR7020 just fine. It’s still an inkjet piece of garbage, but it works fine lol

more PPP and lower pay is their answer to the crisis lol

Some of the crap I had to do back in the late 00s to get wifi, sleep and power management even barely working on some machines felt like the hardest thing at the time. I wonder how I’d fare with those issues today, 17 years later, knowing quite a bit more about the underlying OS and working with the OS daily… I don’t know that I’d qualify that as difficult more than it was extremely tedious and a bunch of trial and error of configuration options I didn’t know anything about.

If we’re talking about modern day… not so much honestly. btrfs snapshots saved my ass a couple of times, the rare issue I encounter I just rollback and wait for an upstream fix, and the rest I typically ignore or use something else. Everything tends to run quite smooth for me as a general rule, though.

Yeah, I’m no graphic designer but the fediverse logo looks like a nightmare to render at small sizes, which is what designers are looking for in a logo, typically - something that is easy to recognize, tells something about the product, and scales well at all sizes, from favicon to building sized ad. I like that it conveys its own meaning really well, but it’s also extremely busy. So many crossing lines in such a small space just looks like a garbled mess at small sizes. Take this image and scale it down to 16x16px, you can see what I mean.

Considering the function name, here’s an obligatory thefuck plug

Same. I’m another one of those Reddit refugees. Haven’t logged in over there since the API changes went into action and my app of choice stopped working.

I thought about it, but on the other hand, I’ve yet to hear someone under a handful of decades old mention Lenny Bruce
