I relate very much with the first half. For me, even the non flying ones seem to immobilise me. But I really don’t understand how you find them adorable. I mean I totally understand that they’re a very important piece of the ecosystem, but holy shit does my body stop working when I see one

True, it’s just hard to convince oneself of this

Sigh

When will there be a different reason

DCS, hmmm. Double chicken something? Dick cheese sandwich?

No empirical evidence shall be tolerated in this house!

It’s aware that we’re creeping. The knowing look

Now that’s a reaction image which goes hard

Hmmm, I’m a bit rusty on this but can’t one put an auth gate in front of the application, handled by the reverse proxy?

I’m confused. What’s the difference between mastodon and other such platforms mentioned in this thread? I thought these mastodon like platforms were the equivalent of twitter on the fediverse

Is… is ibuprofen fun?

Oh I miss Tom and Jerry. It’s so old but dare I say the animation goes toe to toe with modern stuff, if not better. Or maybe I’m just nostalgic

It’s a beautiful movie! One of my favourites of all time

One of the few features that I’m missing from niri :')

Maybe I’m tired, or maybe I’m traumatised from sourceforge, but my god did this give me some terrifying laughter

Oooh thank you very much for the list. A friend showed me a knot once which allows one to transport stuff from end to the other, something akin to a rail like system. Maybe it was this alpine knot you mentioned. Very cool!

Looks like a painting!

For whom? It restricts the “freedom” of corporate and capitalistic leeches who don’t contribute back to the commons

Oh is this generated? How could you tell? I gotta hone my radar for slop

I quite like the init and journal parts of systemd. I’m not a hater. But I’ve been around long enough to see where this attestation road might lead to. Google tried it recently with their WEI initiative.

But now the time is ripe again with child safety being mentioned left and right. This is all speculative but combine secure boot ,and kernel level attestation and suddenly one must use verified applications which among other things can’t block ads and whatnot
