“be more succinct”?

maybe have AI summarize it for you 🙄

This thread exchange made me smile, and I had to show it to one of my partners while giving the rundown about Activity Pub.

This shit is so neat.

Robocop needs to be mentioned a lot more.

BUSY and I’ve been paying attention to the news less and less. I have to.

That’s the thing- you only need to have an account with one instance, and you can follow others from your “home” instance.

But I bring this up to bolster your point- Mastodon feels “clunky” because their onboarding process for new users is severely lacking, in my opinion.

It is offputting. It is intimidating. And that is a turnoff for a lot of people.

I like the way you think!

And especially the existence of places like the library where you can use a computer for free, makes it even wilder.

ugh, right? call me when he actually gets a consequence larger than a slap on the wrist.

Oh, hell yes!

“Please go away” is as polite as I’ll get.

Agreed, no need to throw a bitchfit over one inclusive suggestion!

An absolutely strange hill to die on, and may be an indicator of a bigger hissy fit in the future.

It’s like we should be diversifying our web presence or something! Bare minimum, don’t be relying on Meta platforms so much-- because if your shit gets rocked like this, and it’s the only thing you have? You’re kinda screwed.

AND ANOTHER THING: there’s more ways to combat this sort of thing. Have different sites, share info in other ways (“keep circulating the tapes”). It can be done.

Thank you for explaining! While I didn’t like your initial comment, you definitely brought up some excellent points. I also agree that the FOSS community can be more welcoming.

And it’s been great running into you around here. Hi!

Linux community has been better at being helpful, though, as the years passed.

Expecting a machine to hold your hand through your learning

Linux support forums might be hostile to entitled noobs looking for a handout and a quick fix

…but still freakin’ insufferable.

Lime Buzz has a point here.

I can care about multiple things at once, is all; I can think about “frivolous” stuff along with other topics considered “far more important.”

also i can multitask damn it :|

Hope you’re being glib-- because censoring an open-source, more privacy-minded, and alternative operating system to Big Corpo is only an excuse and the continuation.

If you trust your local city officials, get them involved. If you trust your local police, alert them as well.

Agreed. What is WITH these IF statements!? ACAB includes the good ones, folks.

anything said after the “However” negates anything said before it.

so try harder ig
