Right-clicked on the link, copied link, went to archive.org, pasted link into wayback machine, selected most recent (in this case only) snapshot.

As you can imagine, it doesn’t work if archive.org hasn’t archived the link yet.

I’m neither blind nor have any family or loved ones who are, but seeing people on the fediverse add captions like these warms my heart every time.

They won’t be getting familiar with the fediverse though. They’ll be getting familiar with Meta/Threads, as happened with Google Talk and XMPP.

With Redhat going kinda closed-source, will its derivatives like Fedora remain viable?

Don’t remember how Canonical shit the bed, but I’m wary of using Ubuntu derivatives.

What would you recommend for a distro that keeps on top of security updates and is at least acceptable in terms of running games like AoE2 DE or The Outer Worlds?

Schadenfreudler /ˈʃɑː.dɘnˌfrɔ͜ɪd̥.lɘr/

If you don’t know how to read IPA, roughly “SHAAH-then-FROYD-ler”

Btw: I just constructed this word based on my native speaker intuition. I doubt that you can find it in a dictionary, because it’s not something one would force into a single word. A more natural way to say what you mean would be “Leute, die (hier) (auch) Schadenfreude empfinden”, which translates to “people who (also) feel Schadenfreude (here)”.

Are you telling us you’re suffering from Pica?

Why ID 85347 in particular?

That article reminded me to go to the google play store and write a 1 star review of the app. Made a reference to enshittification.

Imagine Jesus as a director of a company that accepts all sincere applicants. The director assumes responsibility for all the mistakes his employees make, but he doesn’t assume responsibility for people who only claim to be employees. People who purposely commit crimes get fired and applications by people who apply with the purpose of commiting crimes get rejected for not being sincere. (That’s not to say someone who once was fired can’t reapply if they’re actually sincere about it, but since God sees into people’s hearts and minds, you can’t trick him.)

A significant fraction of those 52M “users” are either abandoned accounts or bots. And there are also quite a few semi-abandoned ones like mine, that are only kept alive until they’re completely purged of any content Reddit might derive value from (since you can’t edit or delete comments/posts in subreddits still set to private).

Word of Warcraft

Is Blizzard branching out into religious literature or word processing programs? 🙂

As a kbin user, I’m really excited about Artemis.

Sadly not. It might not even be appealable.

I would claim actual free speech absolutists don’t exist.

What exactly was digg and what happened to it anyway? I used phpBB forums and IRC as a teen, then didn’t interact with social media in general for some years, then eventually found my way to Reddit (with a low-key stint on Facebook to stay in contact with relatives across the globe in-between). The only interaction I had with digg was seeing Firefox extensions for it during what I assume was its hayday.

Musk is a proponent of near-absolute free speech

Anything goes, so long as it doesn’t hurt his feelings personally

Does he? Is that even possible?

The difference is that rather than just having no expectation of privacy against recording (Reddit model), in federated space you are guaranteed an official subtitled hologram with sound is recorded by design and shipped to other town squares all over the world and shown. And you have no expectation that you’ll be able to convince those town squares to delete theirs once they have it and basically no chance to if your own town square is bulldozed or your town has gotten into a feud with theirs since you did your townsquare shouting.
