I know folks hate reddit but I googled Adrian Dittman and holy fuck, dude is a complete fucking nutjob

Just spends his days publicly tweeting at himself, I don't even know what to say to something that painfully pathetic

I think it's pretty fair to describe 'wishing for the death of things other people are enjoying' as spreading bitterness 😅

I'm sorry to hear you've had a bad experience in your time here. I hope you find somewhere you feel more at home, best of luck to you too

In my experience it's been less hive-mindy than reddit was, but to be completely honest I think you kinda get out what you put in

If you approach things combatively, you'll get combativeness. If you approach things with curiosity, I find you get openness and a willingness to engage with folks sincerly.

Not sure why you'd wish the death of a platform people are enjoying and that serves as a small escape from the broader corporate web, just because you personally didn't like it.

I rather like it here, I'd be really sad to see this space cease to exist. It sounds like you'd be better served by going somewhere you like more instead of staying here and just spouting bitterness :(

a work-from-home evangelist

I really thought he was a evangelical Christian, but like one who works from home 😅

Real.
I try so hard to not let it be real. But real 🥲

I (can't) use arch btw

Folks have already explained that the fabric softener compartment gets added at the rinse cycle and is where vinegar should be added, but I wanted to add that if you'd like to remove fabric softener from your clothes or other fabric items, vinegar does a wonderful job and will make things absorbent again :)

Its great for microfibers, or towels ☺️

I read that as NO, PEPSI IS NOT GOD

DAMN, OKAY?

for longer than I care to admit 😅

Her smile is so cute :)

And yet here we are, carving out our own little corner of the internet where profit doesn't come first, and we share silly pictures and laugh together.

Big picture may suck, but don't forget to appreciate the small good in front of you ❤️

Hey look, it's a commercial product built on stealing intellectual labor, and whose value is in its ability to replace said intellectual laborers!

Who could have possibly seen this coming??? I sincerely hate the world AI companies are building. It's intrinsically worse in a number of ways, and intrinsically less human-centric. Instead it feels even more money and corporation centric.

Well they don't even have to decide they wanna eat a shit sandwich- they just have to not be motivated enough to go to the polls and say "I'd like the snot sandwich instead of the shit sandwich, please". Which is what seems to have happened this election as best I'm aware

A lot of democratic voters weren't motivated, and didn't show up. And I agree with the statement made by the person quoted in the post, a huge part of that feels like it's the democratic party's complete unwillingness to criticize moneyed interests and figure out how to actually appeal to their constituency, and so they're loosing people. And now we're all stuck with that shit sandwich.

Its really obnoxious that Google doesn't provide any units at all for the vertical axis

I think someone said they used to

I know everyone downvoted you a ton but I'd be kinda curious to hear why you have such a strong preference for avoiding gecko, and what mozilla policies you take issues with

I kinda wonder if there's a similar extension or functionality available for Chromium based browsers...

There ought to be a "the listing is incorrect"

You might benefit from firefoxes Facebook containers extension that prevents cross site Facebook tracking :)

Looks fantastic!

Oh neat!!

Your choice to engage with the folks around you sincerely, and in good faith is appreciated ❤️

Because the Fediverse is so small, we all have a larger impact on the culture of this space, and I appreciate the impact you're having.

I feel like the point of metaphors is to explain something new with an idea that's already familiar and understood

If you have to explain the actual content AND the metaphorical comparison you're using to explain it, you've just kinda added a second thing to explain for very little communicative benefit

I like the aesthetic and sentiment of characterizating tech in this way, but I don't think it's particularly helpful
