I think that I do or at least did have a tendency to use sarcasm. But that's a situation where the assumption is that the other party knows it's not a sincere position and you actually mean the opposite.

I've kind of tried to train myself away from doing it, because unfortunately some of the "ridiculous" positions appear to be held sincerely by prominent people, particularly as you get out of your "local bubble".

In VT terminals, the escape sequences sent by the arrow keys (and also used in terminal output for relative cursor movement) map ESC[A, ESC[B, ESC[C and ESC[D to up, down, right and left respectively. As a child that struck me as deliberately perverse, but now I think it must be because the designer was thinking "east, west".

@ivory makes sense. Good luck with it!

Welcome, I like your energy!

Try to be an active participant, comment, vote, post if you feel like it around the topics that interest you.

And a word of advice : heavily curate your experience. block people, communities and instances if necessary to cut down on negativity/noise and you’ll have a great time here.

Hope you stick around!

Welcome.

I’ve been here for four years and I love it. No ads. No AI. Human moderation.

I donate a few bucks to my instances monthly and I’d recommend you do the same. Keeps things nice.

you are thinking about this all wrong. Your suitcase is the problem. See what you need is a baloon....

It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

@tomayac Correct, at this point I think it's the only deus ex machina that could save the profession as we've known it. I don't think the odds are zero, but they do seem low given the effort thrown at open-weight models, GPUs, etc. In any case yeah he doesn't acknowledge it.
