Yeah I thought it was some kind of convention display that’s 25 feet tall.

tf? You mean to tell me that there’s something billies can’t money their way out of? I’m temporarily impressed, right up until they do that, too.

Agreed on all points, friend.

I grew up in it, too, and now I’m a basic LaVeyan Satanist. gg authoritarian regressives!

So I can claim that over a million people on both platforms run their due diligence and actually click on cited sources, disregard your demand for proof, and you still won’t have done anything to prove me wrong? Do I have that correct?

“Eroxon! Apply directly to the dickhead!”

“Oh cupcake” lmao You’re very welcome, and do take care!

I agree that there’s a currenct hard push for massive enshittification, so I think we’d better be ready and able to 1) embrace federation, 2) advance it to a degree that BigTech can’t keep up with (FTL speed), 3) pay actual money for it ourselves to ourselves, and 4) do what we must to enshrine anti-enshittification systems into the fabric of this new direction of online society.

damn baud rate

I’m seriously considering partitioning the old MacBook and dual-booting into a new distro, but I’ll need to look up the process again, and it’s been quite a while. That is part of the fun, though…

Reminds me a bit of an old-school shell for windows that was called GeoShell. That was a long time ago.
