Wow that's really clever.

Love me some Steven Pinker. Should probably read one of his books. Does he do the reading of the audio books, does anyone know? He has lovely diction.

This is what I dislike about most historical dramas. They focus almost entirely on the pampered (thought no doubt dramatic) lives of the rich and privileged, and lettered, ignoring the great majority of humanity that 1) were engaged every day with the drama of survival, 2) did all of the labour that allowed for those frilly few to write their letters all day.

EDIT: I write from the comfort of my home office on break at my WFH job... >_>

Thanks, I've got a bit of the ol face blindness

So what if you could save five lives by harvesting the organs on one little old person?

I think the issue is that on most people's feeds, the vast, vast majority of the content that they see would be from the @threads "instance." Think of how salty people get about the size of mastodon.social or lemmy.world are compared to other instances, and multiply that along with the threat of a poison pill in the form of corporate embrasure.

Culturally, the fedi is pretty anti-corporate, so a lot of members are suspicious of centralization / partnership with corporate entities. Though this lens, I think the objections make total sense.

Fair question. I got it from a private forum I belong to. I'll look around for the official source.

Thank you, you absolutely zeroed in on the only part I was unsure about when writing this.

There's no denying that it's a sexy lewk, but the lines going across his midsection to me read like rows of loose fabric. Though they could also be there to accentuate his bear like physique... Either way, in the interest of extinguishing any perception of body shaming, I'll edit the line. ❤

Never forget, Facebook (now Meta) had the chance to federate with Friendica but closed the tap ~2015, once more people started joining Friendica. Their mission is to make money, not friends.

It's kind of hard to pin down the histories of these things, since they aren't written about in any blogs that I can find, but here's a GitHub PR referencing this issue:

Since the Facebook connectors aren't supported anymore, they are now removed. Statusnet has been renamed to GNU Social and the API documentation has been updated.

Emphasis mine.

Thank for the PII jk jk, but you should be more careful if that's your actual birth date

Pleasure! It's a really cool word

They're both standard for the format of dates and times, like 2023-12-13 15:52:21. I guess one of them isn't free, though? TIL.

wtf what is that gross

There is an adapter, buttt yeah I would really miss being able to just plug in a pair of headphones.

They meant Google. There are truly open OSes that are not quite so captured: https://itsfoss.com/open-source-alternatives-android/

Actually fewer steps

It's based on ironic interpretations of the words "rare" and "well done." The former is a humorously misinterpreted extrapolation of RPG loot tiers, and the latter is based on misunderstanding the phrase to be meant in a congratulatory sense, rather than the extent to which the meat was cooked.
