Minor correction:

They are completely inappropriate and dangerous on all roads.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS SPECIES?!

Capitalism.

I’d love a VR/AR headset to (mostly) replace my desktop monitors tbh. Love the idea of being able to have a 2 or 3 monitor setup without having to manage all those physical screens. Nothing is really “there” yet for me, especially for the price.

Other than that? I can’t think of much, besides gaming.

Y-Tube might’ve earned them a few cease-and-desists from Google

You’re on it now, bud. It’s here, you’re in it. Welcome!

Neither Amazon nor Google are not part of the Fediverse. If you use their suites of software, you’ll be part of their non-federated, closed systems.

Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Threads, and many, many others are Federated, but not the big corporate entities… Except Threads, stretching out from Meta’s own little digital fiefdom.

Nah.

Can we stop crowning random socially-stunted weirdos with enormous earth shattering powers, please?

Well, that’s a little unfortunate, then. Here’s to hoping it does eventually get there 🤞 I’m just happy to see the decentralized, non-profit internet grow.

From the Wikipedia page on the project, there’s a quote from this Twitter thread from 2019, where he says he’s potentially interested in adding native support. Hopefully that comes at some point, I’d be happy to try it out if it does.

Heartening news. I look forward to Proton’s future.

By defragging the zebra, duh

Well, it’s certainly better than Instagram… Who knows, maybe Cara could federate with ActivityPub in the future… Not that I’ll keep my hopes up for that.

Yes, but probably only about as much as every other garbage social media trashsite like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

I never understood this… Poison ivy isn’t a misunderstood anti-hero, she’s a villain. She’s not a villain because she wants to save the world from pollution or climate change.

She’s a villain because she’s a mass-murderer and terrorist.

I liked the dog, having wanted a pet as a kid, I could sort of simulate that on the computer.

They would lose their representation, not their statehood. There is no legal mechanism for a state to leave the union.

Illness, death, and antisocial behavior. All of these were threats we evolved to handle, people who are “a little bit off” in one way or another, who might endanger the group or individual. This, and that our pattern seeking brains don’t like it when something doesn’t easily fit within an existing schema, even more so if it lies just outside of our existing preconceptions.

Obviously, I can’t say that these definitely are the reasons why we experience the uncanny valley, but I think it’s probably a better explanation than… Skin walkers? Or whatever else the meme would be implying.

Still, it’s a cool premise for a horror story at least.
