I remember this day. Was a wee lad. We were on vacation. The TV was on and apparently it was the news. I don’t remember if it’s breaking news but it might not be, since we’re 12 ish hours different time zones, and I remember seeing it at day time.

Well, back then I thought it was a movie…

And the eerie part was that my dad had just gotten back home from a business trip there just a few days before.

Forgot to add that I don’t want to deal with building a community 😅

Yeah I’m part of the chicken and egg problem we have here but that’s just super hard work for me

Highly likely

big chungus is real

It’s community as weird and niche like that that’s hard to find or start and maintain on the threadiverse¹ that I miss from reddit.

I think it’s this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave

first thing came to my mind are the tachikomas from ghost in the shell for some reason

Don’t forget to supplement with fast thrown rock

Anger? You mean winning a lottery when we’re all living in the underhive for a chance to elevate to the factorium level.

A well made katana is still going to be a status symbol. They might still keep it for keepsake and for reminding them of home that they cannot return to. And if you have marshal prowess why not be a mercenary? And if you’re in foreign land and they are already using firearms, you have to adapt.

It sounds plausible to me at least.

This is good. I want them to succeed with this. This way it could tell Elecom to open-source their mouse firmware and that could make their trackballs more accessible. Come on, Elecom, I need an improved Deft Pro, with open-source firmware!

tbf as a kid I sometimes chew on aluminium foil wrapper of candies (back when they wrap some candies in aluminium) to extract the last dregs of candy. so I kind of can empathize lol

Lovely site. Easy to follow, but I might be biased lol

I’ll be sharing this with others in my groups

Don’t have to install anything. Some instance make it the default though, but I think most front end like Voyager or Alexandrite (or tesseract since we are discussing it) you can visit their web page and point your home instance to use their UI.

Edit; I’m copying a comment someone else made here https://piefed.zip/comment/6322459 since it’s pretty consise than what I explained 😅

It’s a frontend. So literally a skin to make a website look prettier and more organized.

Imagine a waiter starts telling customers what foods they are allowed to eat. He wasn’t the chef, the manager, the owner, anybody.

That’s how stupid it was.

It kind of is, considering it’s still an app of sorts, but using the web browser. I just keep using “front end” because that’s what others call it. I see it like an app. but yeah, it’s to change the UI if you don’t like the default lemmy UI.

Hmm. I learned something today. Thanks. I think.

bottom face/hands,

I usually don’t like to play the “English as second language” card, as I take great pride learning it, but I need to for this one lol. what does this mean?

It’s a front end to change the UI of lemmy, and others like lemmy. you can see some examples of others here: https://www.lemmyapps.com/ . Filter by web app to see some of the other popular ones.

I don’t really go on a blocking spree much. How would a front end’s block list implementation be different than the instance’s choice of software’s block list implementation?

I hardly browse All and Local. I am on a piefed based instance, and leave “Enable Automatic Follow of Feed Communities.” and “Enable Automatic Leave of Feed Communities.” on. So kind of my subscribed feed is semi automatic as long as I follow a broad topic.

That’s the way to go. it’s just a silly little nitpick that I have. I don’t go out of my way to make it a big deal lol
