The reply on masturbated.one (the Mastodon instance) has an embedded image with the reference. It's strange that it didn't make it into the Lemmy comment.

Let's not pass judgment on an entire nationality based on the crimes of their head of state and his hand-picked government officials. Otherwise I'd have to ask you if you're ok with Americans, Chinese, Koreans, et cetera flooding in, by the same standard. Double edged sword and all.

If you mean "Russians" as in "Russian-speaking monolingual"... that would be a valid point. I'd like to keep the community as primarily English, but might not be able to keep foreign language posts and comments out. I'll have to think about it, and I'm open to input regarding languages.

My comment federated back to them. Linux memes have infiltrated The Masturbated One.

test comment, please ignore

Is that what substrate cooling means?

Droid-ify client, which is an alternative client for F-Droid.

If you've never used F-droid, give it a go: https://f-droid.org/en/about/. It's a FOSS package manager for Android and nothing more. All it does is host, install, update, and manage applications. No ads, no sponsored suggestions, no ranking. It has strict submission requirements, only serves FOSS apps, and prominently lists apps' "anti-features" (tracking, reliance on third-party services, things you may not like).

Dammit, I should've made a "no politics" rule...

...or even just consistency in their immorality.

nah my dude, we didn't (:

I inherited my predecessor's fuck-ups that are slowly revealing themselves

You mean I could lose even more data when it inevitably craps out?

(don't mind me, I'm dealing with a failed RAID5 array with one disk dead and one dying, I need to vent)

I can't believe you forgot to mention the worst offender.

Packaging.

For some reason, Linux insists on the asinine practice of hypercentralisation where you're only allowed to install programs from a single approved website. The rest of us are living in 2025 but Linuxists seem to be stuck in 1984. It is literally baked into the system (with a healthy dose of trademark infringement (I mean, Pacman? Seriously?)). Besides the obvious restrictions on user freedom, it would only take one bad actor to call into question the safety of the whole walled garden. Trust is the user's prerogative. A truly open ecosystem would let the user decide whether to get their software from Microsoft, from a third-party Russian website, the seven seas, from a lost-and-found USB stick, whatever.

(also, I don't want to be That Guy, but not having a large language model baked into the kernel for optimal performance in 2025 is fucking stupid)

Yo, why does the website play boss music in the background?

Some people seem to get off on calling others mentally challenged for freely made choices that they disagree with. This comic mocks them.

I've seen supposed democrats rally against their own interests because their candidate wasn't the perfect example of virtue; because Harris didn't deviate far enough from Biden's policy on Gaza, or because her candidacy was pushed through instead of another potential candidate. I've seen them vote for that hopeless independent because they'd rather risk four more years of Trump than accept Harris' imperfections. They are complicit, and now they get to burn in that dumpster fire. Only 1459 days left of that, then, who knows.

We didn't just realize it now, we knew since before 2016. It's Americans that seem to have forgotten.

Some guy made a subreddit called 195 (named after their dorm room number IIRC) where the only rule was that you had to post something before leaving. They later closed the subreddit because it had gotten too large to operate by one person. 196 was created by the community as a successor with the same one rule. Just post. Simple as.

some developers "hope" the next installment in the GTA franchise will be priced at $80–$100

Management are NOT DEVELOPERS.

Executives are NOT DEVELOPERS.

Shareholders are NOT DEVELOPERS.

Sounds like their application fell through the cracks (not surprising on a small-scale service) and they never did a thing to remedy the situation.

!onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is the new coolness

I still don't understand how you thought this unilateral decision, including squatting on the 196@LBZ name, would be received well in the community. I question the soundness of your judgment.

Hold a vote of no confidence. Let the community you tried to screw over decide if the moderators should stay or resign.
