…it depends…

“The left can’t meme” is the right’s 3rd and only good joke. The only other two jokes they have is mentioning trans people are a thing and mostly resisting the urge to yell the N word repeatedly in place of a punchline.

97% chance of whoring, 2% chance it’s platonic and they’re just really lonely and socially inept, 1% chance you get a ride in the TARDIS

M here but… It’s like not being a foot guy and consuming something with a lot of that fan service. You can still appreciate aspects of it but not really get the whole thing cuz it’s not for you. Same goes for every other image tag. Yaoi is just Yuri for people who like boys.

With that said, go watch love stage. Plenty to appreciate even for those not yaoi obsessed

Pfft come on. I watched ISIS beheading videos when I was a kid and I turned out just f-… Hm.

I find it useful to crack jokes like that when in rough places; the half-kidding kind, even just to myself. It depends because everyone’s different. Never a bad idea to take a moment and question it occasionally though…

It’s gonna get way worse…

The same shit for my whole fucking life. It’s amazing.

I’ve been been deepdiving the cryptcom privacy space over the last week, refreshing my knowledge that was last updated about a decade ago. Signal spooks me because of the number requirement and centralization, but the tech is fine. Matrix is the new hotness but the clients kind of suck. I wonder if there are any i2p based apps? But Signal (or in my case, Molly-FOSS) seems to be fine for most purposes. Unless you’re the secretary of defense… There’s always Tox if you don’t mind the fact that it’s in dev and unaudited.

Computer silicon and transformer models

Modern magic. We tricked crystals into thinking by drugging them and zapping them with electricity. Then we used those crystals to trick matricies into hallucinating by forcing them to guess the answer to math questions and smacking them when they get it wrong and kept doing that until they get it right. Ethics and hype aside, it’s pretty fucking wild.

Ah yes, defence pacts; well known for their violent expansionism… Like invading sovereign countries, killing their civilians, stealing their children, and holding their land. NATO is evil.

…wait

AFAIK, nope. There are several personal projects which modify Signal to work on private infrastructure rather than use signal’s centralized service, but nothing intended for public consumption or at least not that I’ve heard of. Maybe search it.

Signal is good enough and has been pushing for more mainstream appeal and polish (e.g. gif search) Its Achilles heel and main drawbacks stem from it’s centralization: needing a phone number and routing thru Signal’s infra. But that can also benefits them in some ways. Most devs who would be tempted to change that would rather spend their time elsewhere: tox, matrix, i2p, tor, xmpp and irc shenanigans, etc. Signal is just hydrated, in its lane, unbothered; chugging along as its LLC dictates. No alarms, no fires, no compelling reason to do a hard fork.

Edit: it completely slipped my mind that Molly exists. So yeah there’s that. But they still use signal’s infra.

AGPL iirc. it can be forked and run independently or modified into a decentralized federation model. So doesn’t really matter if they cave.

Trump said We’d never see him again. Fascists just lie a lot…

Ain’t that just a prerequisite for the “grab em by the pussy” administration?

“Wow these demographics are wild… My social media platform OnlyFeds is completely flooded with preteen girls and violent anarchists… wtf?”

WASM and cry because you can’t directly modify the DOM without JS.

Behold: a fundamental social divide which has plagued humanity for millennia, in a nut shell.
