As it grows I think it will be much easier to justify a new person or instance in cutting off entire toxic areas and that will only cause it to grow faster.

Right now we all have to weigh the balance between activity and toxicity but eventually we shouldn’t need to make that calculation, we can have “high moderation” and “low moderation” versions of every topic.

Holy shit I love LLMs now

With this knee jerk crowd I’m honestly surprised it’s still a positive ratio 🤣

I also believe Frigate actually has a home assistant “app” version so it can be installed right on the same device.

woulda made $200M if it wasn’t woke

(Unless I’ve just been whooshed) Ironically, “The Backrooms” is a movie by and for people who aren’t “big Hollywood people”!

It was made by a YouTuber based on a meme that originated on 4chan ages ago.

Wow that’s huge it seems to be working as desired.

I think it’s a cool idea, there is so much empty engagement for engagement’s sake by a super small handful of accounts that it’s basically just spam. I can’t imagine someone checking out the fediverse is going to see endless feed old memes and decide this is superior to reddit in any way.

Not all of us want an endless content feed, I like slower social media with more thoughtful and respectful discussions and I like seeing developers that understand that and try to bake it in.

Looks like it was published before seasons 4 and 5 of Lower decks came out which imo is where most of the bangers are

I did the exactly same for the same reason. I think Zorin is well made and great for someone who is not good with computer, but it is probably too simple for someone who is advanced enough to know what Linux is.

These days I recommend Kinoite or Bazzite for someone looking to ditch Windows; but they’re so similar the only question is if they’re planning on gaming with a controller.

For newbies ditching windows I like to recommend the Kinoite version of Fedora, it’s immutable and basically impossible to break, and apps are installed from the “app store” so it’s super easy for someone to understand.

Also KDE has just gotten really amazing lately!

Yeah that makes sense I admit that just looking at it makes me feel old and uncomfortable

It’s definitely not for me either but my potentially hot take is that normie communities like that are exactly what the fediverse needs to take off. As long as they can move everyone to the fediverse and not just their most toxic users.

It’s sad because he put so much effort into making evil malware that blocked out all the truth tellers but he can’t bring himself to use it because of some deeper disorder that doesn’t allow him to leave people alone on the internet

Not sure maybe

Confirmed. How many times do I have to confirm?

I made a blocklist but I don’t use it because I’m lonely and enjoy the harassment.

correct!

Yeah cuz if you did you’d be forced to drop the victim narrative you appear to be emotionally dependent on

How do you ping a location update? I’ve tried sending the hidden sms that’s supposed to do is but it only seems to work about 25% of the time, and I have to run the actual location check like 3-4 minutes later

i havent even looked at the blocklist tbh but my position is that insisting you have the right to force your speech upon someone else when they have made it extremely clear they wish to block you is just reprehensible behavior in my book. “No means no”! But it especially means no when someone is telling you to leave them alone like they did.

you are not being silenced. someone blocking you on the internet is not an attack on you, you are not a victim, and it does not give you the right to attack someone else
