Windows XP, but I was dual booting windows 95 and red hat 5 (not RHEL 5) in the 90s :)

Most of them…

Really? I’m glad someone shares it, but I’m not sure how many of us there are given how often I happen to hear their songs around.

Coldplay are boring

I am all for woulda, coulda, and shoulda.

Rust is more like: unless you can mathematically prove to me that this is equivalent to a nut there is no ducking way I’ll ever let you compiled this.

Or was extremely underwhelming, doubly so if you consider how good the best moments of the series were.

Honestly, the radioactive wasteland earth ending was better.

I recently saw a few scenes again and realised I had forgotten how good it was. All because of the deeply disappointing ending.

Dungeons and dragons.

No one does this kind of stuff because someone asked them to do it. This is the kind of useless, insane stuff you do for the lulz, or because someone dared you.

I think that interoperation with big walled gardens is part of the reason why #activitypub exists. Furthermore, there are no technical measures to completely shut off #Threads, and the social measures are unlikely to work.

I know the risks, I’m old enough to remember #Microsoft embracing and extinguishing browsers and open documents, #Goggle defederating from #XMPP and #Facebook predatory tactics.

On the other hand, I think that federation with the big players is unstoppable. The protocol is open and there is no way to get every last instance to defederate. If people want to see the big players’ content they’ll move to an instance that federates with them. And defederating from those that connect to threads sounds like a Zealot’s suicide pact.

I think that the best way to ensure that #Meta plays fair is to create a fediverse that is as diverse, open and vibrant as possible, with plenty of open services (Lemmy, mastodon, misskey…) and commercial ones (Flipboard, tumblr…) so that threads users will feel compelled to interact and miss us if Meta stops federating or shadowbans external content.

I’ll go ahead and guess that you haven’t seen much doctor who :)

Dr who has av lot of qualities, consistency is not one of them (and it’s OK)

If you want your time travel to be internally consistent go watch “FAQ about time travel” it’s British, low budget, mostly consistent, and hilarious.

Please drink a verification can…

I don’t think there is a prescribed way to advertise being part of the fediverse.

Hopefully there will be a fediverse icon (the colorful pentagram) somewhere on the page.

But the truly galaxy brain move is in this article:

After CNN’s reporting, Musk reversed course, tweeting “the hell with it … we’ll just keep funding Ukraine govt for free.”

Gwynne Shotwell, Musk’s president at SpaceX, was livid at Musk’s reversal, according to Isaacson.

“The Pentagon had a $145 million check ready to hand to me, literally,” Isaacson quotes Shotwell as saying. “Then Elon succumbed to the bullshit on Twitter and to the haters at the Pentagon who leaked the story.”
