Debian and Mint user…yup I’m old.

Cool story. I don’t care if they know I fucking hate them.

Now there are 15 competing standards.

Glory to you…and your distro.

Per usual, Rackspace is about 18 steps behind everyone else

God we’re so fucked

Thank you. Corrected.

I couldn’t care less about “the masses”. Most of the world are morons.

On the plus side, it’s nice that you don’t need a new ID for every Lemmy instance.

Any social media that you isn’t open and self hostable (Lemmy, Mastodon, etc) should not be used. That includes Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, and more.

Most social media has, IMHO, been a net-negative for society and I am in the generation that grew up with it in its infancy.

Anybody who thought any corporation is going to “do the right thing”: Exhibit A why we’ve been telling you that’s fucking wrong all this time.

Oh CES. You always bring out the weirdest, zaniest, most unhinged ideas and put them center stage. And I love you for it.

Not the product…this is fucking disturbing.

Just saying that the Prius Plug-in Hybrid seems to be an excellent PHEV.

You’re probably a better candidate for a plug-in hybrid.

Would have been fine if it didn’t cost a kidney and they’d invested in app development more.

Too closed off. Too expensive.

Nifty project. Definitely I could see this being useful for discussing things that would traditionally be censored on other more centralized or semi-decentralized platforms (piracy, anti-authoritarian discussions in an oppressive country, etc).

I gave it a try and the loading times are atrocious, though. I suppose that’s an unfortunate problem with running decentralized.

Ah that makes sense.

I didn’t realize that VR was big in the furry community, but it makes sense.

Do they have a specific app/community? Things like VRchat I can’t imagine being very well suited to furries, since you’d have random people coming in yelling slurs/bigoted shit.

I’ve always been tangentially fascinated with the furry community, while not one myself. Always seemed like an interesting, weird group, which as someone a part of other weird groups…you go furries.

Not like China is competing fairly when their workforce is made up of slave labor from “reformed” minorities.

I don’t get why anybody uses Ubuntu. Just use Debian. It’s basically more stable and functional Ubuntu, but without snaps and you don’t need an entire distro branch for different DEs.
