I thought that saying was made back stage at a Led Zeppelin concert in 1973?

I like the cut of your jib hull cutters.

Go by social context, connection and expectations. Like, will you interact with them later, is your interaction pre-arranged, is it a professional context? If all else fails, think of them like not women. When you are aquainted with a man, would you his shake hands?

There are many places where a penis would be inappropriate. You'll need a lot of stickers.

Try saying sus backwards, the result will amaze you.

His contact name is "Dad" so it could be worse. 🤷‍♂️

I'm a sausage maker and this image is blasphemous, please delete now or the Würstermünster will curse you.

It's been years since I saw all the movies I ever wanted to see from the beginning of cinematography up until that point. And now they only make shit movies, what's a man to do but enjoy memes?

I have to reevaluate all those "lol kys" messages I got when I used to play online games.

Are you kidding, "Woman or potato? (73% of people got it wrong)" is legendary!

Edit: I found it, tell me this isn't pure art.

More like the super healthy farmer is handing out organic food for free but people rather eat at McDonalds because it's nearly packed and that's where most people eat.

Yes Toddiño. Several times throughout the years. I've heard about Skyrim several times.

Pretty much my experience with pull-based notifications. I've even tested the same client on the same setup against both NTFY and client-pull without seeing a noticable difference in battery usage.

But… Blaming people who are being fucked over by forces generally outside their control is not really going to help their or our situation.

The whole premise of the comment is that it's not outside of their control, they just chose not to be responsible for the agreements they make. If you have any better suggestions than blaming those responsible for the situation I'm willing to listen and maybe even change my mind.

Expecting or demanding “people” to just change is also not realistic. Even if they wanted to, time, effort, energy, knowledge, skills, and attention are all finite.

Is it more unrealistic than "we" deciding to change and find a better path forward than surrendering our digital lives to strangers? I'm able to self-host my own push server. I wasn't born with that knowledge. I had to invest time, effort and energy to gain the knowledge and skills. If I can, so can others. I am not an extraordinary smart person.

Still, long before one starts to self-host entire platforms like NTFY or Nextcloud Push, there's a ton of free to use services ran by idealists rather than capitalists. Or payed options with good terms. There's so much between just not caring and being ones own sysadmin that I don't think "don't have the time" is a valid excuse anymore. It's not just push messages, it's everything - as you point out:

This is just one important issue or source of exploitation among a sea of others.

Sure. And most people I offered a free Nextcloud account to said the same. And Mastodon/Friendica-accounts. And so on. It's like a technological mass depression, we can't do everything we need to so there's no point doing anything at all.

And today I'm running a custom ROM and no push services from Big Data while they're literally getting robbed of their phonebooks by Meta.

You're like sorting the trash, I forgot and I know I ought to yet I don't enjoy you reminding me.

Thank you for your gift, it was... special.

Here are some in return.
