@Thayer @dracos I think of you every time I see SplitSave on Trainline, and I hope against all odds that you got paid some money for that. Doubt it though, the world doesn’t tend to work that way.

@osma Ehdottomasti olisi kustomoitu, eli esim. omalla ilmeellä jne. Ei voida hinnalla kyllä kilpailla, eli halvempi tuskin tulee olemaan. Mutta hintaan saa sitten enemmän.

The problem with the Confederates wasn't too little loyalty to the Union. It was too much loyalty -- to the Confederate states and the slave power they represented.

@adhdeanasl @bimmer @markc568 @GayDeceiver some people are so narrow minded in relation to seabird discussions. Gah.

Don’t worry guys I’m on my way to check on the Finnish embassy in Canberra.

Why call it a long-distance relationship when you could call it nonlocal entanglement

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

@TheBreadmonkey @PetraPhoenix a hoppy birthday, if you’re a drinker 🍺 or the most extravagantly squiggly fondont frosted cake in your honor! 🎂

@rolle Kotimainen hostauspalvelu voisi madaltaa yritysten ja järjestöjen kynnystä liittyä fediin omalla verkkotunnuksellaan, mikä on erittäin kannatettava ajatus. Harmi sinänsä, jos palvelu olisi liian kallis yksityishenkilöille, mutta ainahan voi esimerkiksi olla Memento Morin alla, jos ei tarvitse saada omaa domainia käyttöön.

Maybe, but whatever the main problem is, that’s up for debate. Somebody who is anti-authoritarian but is a bigot is still somebody I’m going to have a problem with.

Wonderful artwork by Indian artist Archana Handa seen at the Biennale in Lyon: The title is: «weaving light» and uses discarded Jacquard punch cards for an installation that keeps on changing with the different light sources from the middle and therefore moving shadows projected on the walls, floor and ceiling. #BiennaleLyon #art #jacquard

@jalefkowit Sir, this is a Golden Corral.

#LinuxAudio folk? Is there a native plugin that does what the #WavesPAZAnalyzer does? I refuse to own any more #Waves plugins, but I'd like to have a more meaningful #MasteringDotCom training experience.

Oh, wow. Love love love.
